Do the mesh sections of the porch zip up for rain protection or are they just exposed?

They do not zip up. It is exposed, however, I did not mind that too much. It did rain a bit on our first trip out with it but I did not find the ground under it too wet afterwards. Only the sides are mesh but I wouldn't consider it a "porch". We were not looking for a separate enclosure to sit in we have a Firstup for that. If you were wanting a spot to sit in it would likely only fit 1 chair and maybe a small table before getting in the way of the door. Hope that answers your question &#128522;

They are designed for exterior use. Mine are completely unprotected. They are holding up well but we do not get a lot of rain in San Diego.

Porch of tent has no covers to exclude rain. Floor has holes to drain water. Inside zippered "door" protects interior tent.

Mine are outside under a covered porch but the rain blows in on them and they are in full southern sun all afternoon. About 6 months so far and they look brand new. The material looks like it will survive anything, The finish may fade eventually and they may rust. I wouldn't have any concerns about leaving them outside with a cover.

It is fully enclosed with at the top and all windows with very fine holed mesh. There are 2 doors that have a very very small holed mesh as well that fully zip. I do believe it would keep them out very well as long as you keep the doors fully zipped.

They do have a protective coating on them of some sort. I have mine under a covered patio, but I do think they would hold up to moisture and rain.

Ours is installed in an exposed but covered exterior entrance way where it gets wet from blowing rain and mist. It does not get rained on directly however. Appears to be fine.

Mine have been on my front and back porches for over a year and they are still doing fine. They are sheltered by my overhang from rain and sun, but not temperature. Temperatures have gotten down to around -8 degress f and have reached about 106 degrees f in summer.

It is zippered on the sides but not the bottom. The bottom does have enough of a flap at the bottom that it seals against the ground or floor pretty well. BTW, the floor is removable and is basically a tarp. We've never used the porch floor.

I would call them water resistant. The rain doesn't seep through the fabric, but does pool on the flooring. And, then your "stuff" will get wet on the bottom. But, if you're looking to withstand a quick rain shower they are good for a get away.

I don't believe it is weather resistant. Depends on how protected your porch is from wind and rain.

I have a small overhang on my front porch, but when rain/wind come from the west, the whole porch/mailbox does get wet. I;ve had mine abt a year and my mail has never gotten wet.

No, it is not an outdoor unit! The cushioned areas will get waterlogged and there are bolt holes that would eventually fill up with rain water. If a porch was covered, it could work but not exposed directly.

Yes, if you keep it zipped all the way it will keep out snow and rain. However, you will get condensation on the inside.

I have mine mounted under my front porch. They haven't been through a winter yet, but as far as moisture goes,they've been fine. No direct rain falls on them though.

We have them on covered porches so I'm not sure. But they are nice and sturdy and made for the weather.

I have mine in somewhat sheltered areas, but yes, the covers are a vinyl type material and should protect plants from rain. I've been using these for quite a few years and the structures hold up very well, but the covers will eventually become brittle with extended exposure to the elements.
