how does the tent stand up to the rain?

No! I seam sealed tent, and use a rain fly from a 7x7' tent. Rained most every day for 14 days in Hawaii.Rain still came in thru door zipper. and floor seams. Not a lot of leakage, but still leaked. Wiped up with paper towel. Tent is not a quality rain resistant design. For the price improvise or buy Coleman 7x5' tent. Heavier, much better build. Ozark Trail 6x5' is lighter,better build with no rear window, weaker fragile poles.

Does not work well in rain. I even sprayed with waterproofing and it leaked. The rain came through the sides of the tent, through the seams and even through the rain fly. Do not use in rain. It was really bad in heavy rain, but still leaked a bit in light rain.

I use a spray on waterproofing before each trip and I've had no problems with leakage even in hard rain storms.

Been through two hard rains and one 5-7 inch snow storm with no problems. Am buying a second one as it is great for backpacking.

All room walls and the 'front door' have cover flaps that zip closed from the inside for full privacy. We haven't been in extreme weather but it's a really great tent for the price, should do well in reasonable rain/wind. I always make it a practice to take along a couple tarps (one under the tent) duct tape and extra tent pegs. Btw I Recommend investing in 10 or more strong (metal) tent pegs and a hammer or hatchet. The ones that come with the tent are cheap, break easy. The 'patio' is great, we had a small fold up table & 3 coolers in there with room to spare.

We haven't had heavy rain when using the tents. But it is always a good idea to use a tarp anyway. My husband and son do but that comes from being involved in scouting.

It's held up well so far for me. I have over a dozen nights in it so far with no rips. The sides are pretty much the same as any tent, plastic nylon material, and the bottom is a woven plastic tarp material.

I have only used this tent twice and both times have been during torrential down pours. I have had absolutely NO problems with water inside the tent. Assembled correctly, the tent will withstand the elements.

The tent held up pretty well. It was unfortunately stormy when I used it, but we were nice and dry inside. It doesn't hold heat very well, due to the ventilation, so I wouldn't recommend it for colder weather. The front canopy over the door stayed in place fairly well. I had to re stake it after the rain soaked the ground, but only in a couple spots. The bottom of the tent held up nicely against any flooding our campsite got, and didn't tear from the cot we were using. I was really surprised at how well we stayed dry, we were expecting warm dry weather and got a sudden rainstorm that lasted all weekend. The tent held up pretty well.

I was camping last month. Lows down into the low 30s. Had the vents and fly shut down tight and was very warm. I haven't been in the tent during a wind storm yet but have had 3/4 inch of rain in an hour and not a drop got in. I love this tent.

We have been through winds and rain exceeding 50 mph. It did stay up but you need to have better stakes than what comes with the tent. So far we have been in 4 to 5 rain storms with little water in the tent.

Yes it looks like it would withstand the rain. Every thing looks to be sealed. Hope thid helps.

I don't know how it would hold up in heavy rain, but it's great shelter for mild/moderate rain. I live in Oregon, and mostly use it for a sun shade, but have also spent time out while raining.

I took mine to Maui and camped on the beach for two weeks. It rained half the time and the tent stood up to the weather great.

I never had a problem with rain with this tent. If rain + strong winds, there's always a chance rain can fly side and underneath rain fly. No matter what tent you get, that will happen. But the rainfly fits on like a glove. You can apply Grangers water proof spray on the rainfly to reinforce the water proofing.

Yes, And it works great. We have used this tent in the rain as well as in super windy conditions and the thing did not budge!

This tent is great for back-backing - it's super light-weight and compact. I can't speak to how it holds up in the rain, as I have never used it in the rain; but it held up just fine to the marine layer fog in Big Sur the last time I went camping. Hope that helps!

Depening on how you set up your tent it can fit pretty snug we were in havy rain and didnt get wet. This tent is very spacious we had no complaints we love ours and cant wait to use it again.

I've had mine for a little over a year. My son and I live in it each summer. It's been up at least 90 days and nights since we bought it. We are very happy with the tent. I substitute an adjustable pole on one side of the shade canopy so it will shed water. My tent has gotten some tiny holes from tree branches, but those patched up very well.
