Is this a tarp like fabric or porous, so water can get through in winter?

It's very porous, rain gets through, but it has puddled up in the center and sagged a bit.

I used it in summer Arizona. Never had it rained on. It fell into pool and got wet. we dried it in the sun. Not plastic tarp. I think it's some kind of "cloth-like" nylon. Feels like canvas, but prob not as porous. I think it would hold water but eventually drip?? Love it for shade.

it's like luggage fabric so it's not water roof but it is water resistant. hope this helps.

I don't have it in front of me, but it's just regular lightweight raincoat material. Feels more like fabric inside, and the outside has a plastic/rubbery feel. It's very lightweight. Not insulated.

Thickness is, yes. But the fabric is like a waffle weave texture and very sturdy. Just went outside and checked mine to make sure. After a very hard winter and very hard freezes, the dirt is just where it should be and the fabric is intact. It doesn't look porous, but must be because water does not pool up in it. This is truly one of the best things I've ever tried for gardening in contained spaces. Don't know how many years it will last, but at this price, even one year is a bargain.

Yes it is porous material so the water will seep through if you water slowly. It also blocks the sun from drying out the ground so you will have to water less.

It's about the thickness of canvas. It has withstood the snow and falling icicles of this season's very intense New England weather without damage to the cover or the air conditioning unit.

Water occasionally seeps thru mine. I am on my second cover - it does a good enough job that I bought it again. The sun and snow tends to do a lot of damage after 2 years.

Not sure. I just looked and there seems to be an extra layer or two of fabric, but it's black and a similar weave to the outside. Usually insulated things like this are white.

Some kind of tough polymer canvas, very heavy. Absolutely no sign of wear on the fabric after 4 seasons of heavy farmers market use, 4 days/week for 6 months... I suggest a silicone spray to waterproof after the first year, handling reduces the factory waterproofing after alot of use, though I show artwork & have never had a leak. The velcro attaching it wore out after 3 years, before I replaced, the top still stayed on because of the straps provided on each side that pull up any sagging - they helped out the aged velcro enough so I could use it until I could sew on new velcro.

It is a thick waterproof fabric. I used it to cover outdoor furniture cushions.

It is waterproof fabric. I love it. More than I expected when I received it.

I have never used it in snow, but in driving rain and it kept all moisture and wetness out. However, the material is "breathable" which means it has fine pores. Been covered in heaps of snow for long periods of time MIGHT allow some moisture to seep through, but that is just a guess. I know these were originally designed for kayak trips, so I don't think snow use was factored in. Sorry couldn't be more help.

It is a heavy vinyl material. I've used it on two trips and have been satisfied with it. The cover/lid has a flap that folds down to cover the zipper. I feel comfortable saying it is waterproof and that you would have other bigger problems if something did end up wet!

It is very water resistant. It has two seams that I guess might let in water if it were very, very rainy, but it has kept the wood dry through snow and rin for us.

No because the entire top is porous. To waterproof it we just bought a tarp and put it over the top. That worked great!

Some water puddles on top, most does drain out.I love this item and this is the first season I've had it, but it's been excellent.I do plan to cover it for winter.

The fabric material is laminated. The outside is tough fabric for durability. Inside is vinyl for waterproofing. All my clothes stay dry nicely.
