Does rain come in the screen room? I'm considering buying this tent and wondered if when sitting in the screen room with the 2 front doors closed with only the screen - does rain come into the screen room?

The rain does come through the screen, although how much depends on the strength and the direction of the rain. The tent has a pretty good ventilation though that can be controlled through the side windows inside the tent (quite well protected from rain). We used a tarp to either cover the stuff in the screened area or we hung it over the porch's walls. It worked pretty well. The water did not get through the floor at all, so once everything was covered it stayed dry.

yes it does. we took it to a music fesitval last year and it rained for an entire day, stayed completely dry. We had a tarp down under and everything was perfect. you'll love the screened in porch!

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price. I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

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.

Did you try tying the guy line that I'd under the window on the rain fly? That may take out any sag? I have been in this tent in torrential rain and I found one area where the rain fly may leak, it did on mine. The cover over the zipper, on the rain fly, can leak if the Velcro isn't up high enough to keep the cover in place due to wind. I glued a Velcro strip higher above the last set of Velcro and it took care of the issue. The best part about this tent is you will stay dry when it rains, I doubt you can find a better tent under 50 dollars!! I hope that helps

The inner walls of my canopy were dripping from condensation when I got back to my tent in the morning. Some of the books I had in the tent got warped from the water. It had not rained. I definitely wouldn't leave anything super important in the tent overnight if I thought it was going to rain.

All sides have "roll up" rain flaps. Two sides have "fixed " screening. The other two can be totally opened including screening or have the flaps used as awnings with screening in place. Note that both of these flaps and their associated screens have a Zipper down the middle and at either edge.So the configurations you can create are incredibly flexible. Also the zippers are probably the best quality i've ever seen.. I find no negatives with this wonderful combination tent/screenhouse.. buy one. You'll love it !! Good luck and Enjoy !!

Yes. It rained the trip I used it, and no rain got in. The floor is waterproof and integral to the tent. However, you have to zip the door completely closed to keep the rain out.

I don't know if it's something you can purchase from the manufacturer, but I wouldn't think so. It does not need a rain fly, though, because the roof is water resistant. We just got back from a 9 day camping trip of which we had heavy rain for 6 of those days and the screen room barely leaked. It really has been a good purchase. My parents bought one too based on ours. Hope this helps.

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.

I have never had a problem with rain, but that being said, I have a covered front porch, so typically the rain doesn't get in too much. I have seen it wet, but always worked fine.

The rain fly is mainly for using so you can open the doors and windows without it raining inside. I haven't had it in the rain but all tents are waterproof. We like to open our windows so that is why we spent the extra money

It includes the rainfly. Its a great tent ive lived in it for almost four months. Although, the rainfly did tear, i was able to repair it with duct tape. The rainfly is great for shielding the sun, as the ceiling is white and allows in all light. Ive never had any problems with the tent taking on water even in extremely heavy rain showers

It's pretty much screen on all four corners. Don't count on this tent to keep you warm. It's more to keep the bugs out. I wouldn't use it in the rain or snow myself.

The screens are on all sides. Great for areas that have alot of bugs.We put it up in late spring & take it down in fall. The down side is if it gets very windy it will blow down. If it rains too hard the water will seep through.There is no sealant to make it totally water proof. I buy this tent every year because I have yet to find one this large.I throw it out at the end of fall because it gets really raggy looking.

rain does not leak through at all. However if the wind is blowing and its raining I always pull the furniture away from the screened walls so things don't get wet. Yes bugs are kept out by the screening. We live in Minnesota and we have numerous bugs/mosquitoes etc and they don't come through the screening. We've had this screened house for years now and except for how dirty the trees above make it we have had zero issues with it. We do end up bleach?washing the roof every spring because of the dirt from leaves etc. Its been holding up very well.

The roof does not cover the floor, the floor sticks out a few inches further. So if it rains you will get water inside. It is only a sun and wind shelter, not rain
