Is the fabric gonna keep me dry if I want to sit under it to watch it rain?

No it is more of a sunshade and it has a course weave. If there is a light rain, it might, but not for long!

As long as it is pulled tightly, it keeps my patio dry. Mine has been up through many showers and the patio underneath had stayed fairly dry. Of course, it does get wet around the edges when the wind blows the rain under. Also, you need to be sure to have it tilted slightly to let the rain run off.

Fabric will allow the rain to drain; of course the fabric will be slightly damp and dries over time , but the water will not accumulate

There will be a lot of water...so I wouldn't call it dry. Keep a towel handy, you will need one.

Yes, get the tarp. You need it to keep dry. Even if it's not raining, the dew will fall off the trees. If it does start to rain, you'll be a dry happy camper.

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

I honestly can't say. Even though we live in Seattle we tend not to sit outside in the rain. It's pretty heavy canvas so I would think in a light rain it would be ok. It's very well made.

Yes it allows us to sit outback under the porch without the rain coming in. It also keeps our outdoor furniture from getting wet.

It should keep you dry. But i would weatherproof the seams. It is a bulky item. I have to pack it in two pouches on my pack which takes up valuable space. Not a bad tent but not light if you intend to try to pack light. It is warm and has kept me dry. I do use a small ground sheet as well and like the moiature barrier that it provides

I concur with all the other three comments. If you drape the cloth (as I do the very Ight ones) then the rain will go thru and be pretty well distributed. Of you establish it more taut, it will tend to let the rain run off as any surface that isn't horizontal will shed some moisture.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

Im not real sure my set is under cover on my patio. also I have the cover that it came with on.we have had a lot of high rain storm's here & the cover has worked out great ! it has rained so hard here that it has pooled up in the middle of it & every thing has stayed dry.so Im sure that they would do just as well by on there own. I love my set,its my out door living room !!!

You are out in the elements. The rain cover does help but if outside long enough, it will get wet.

Yes i have worn this in heavy rain! It keeps you dry! My pants were soaked, and took off my coat and was 100% dry!

Yes, you would definitely be able to stay dry during a light rain. Any tent rain fly is going to get saturated when there is a significant amount of rain but Coleman is a great product and unless you get lots of rain, you'll be safe.

I've used it in the rain with no problems. I wouldn't stick it under water or anything, but if it gets some water on it it should be fine.

No its not like the other ones you probably looked at, no rain cover but it is pretty water proof, the material feels like felt almost but it's lined on the inside with something so your stuff should stay dry

It definitely keeps the rain out. I put a small board on it incase the wind might blow it off !
