It has held up beautifully through hurricane Sandy in nyc and our pretty harsh winter last season.

Had mine for 2+ years and still dry as a bone. Assembled properly, there shouldn't be any issue with water leaks.

I have had mine for 6 years, no water issues. I built a sturdy base of 2x6's and plywood. I lag bolted the floor of the shed to the plywood.

Mine has not been soaked, but it has withstood rain just fine.But, if you have any doubt I would go ahead and treat it with a water protector.

Yes, pretty well. I had it up in some moderate rain for a few days in November and didn't get much inside. Maybe around the corners a little but overall held up well. The side panels only come down to about two inches from the ground so you do get wind, water at bottom. I had a indoor/outdoor carpet on the floor and it did get wet on the edges.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

Yes- It it thin-ish plastic, so it won't hold up as long as it would inside, but it can take some rain and sun. I bet that you'd get a summer or two out of it outdoors. My nephews bring theirs inside from time-to-time and it's held up very well.

I have been in heavy rains for entire days. It hasent gotten wet inside and it sheds water real well. As a kayak-er I cant say its waterproof, it only Velcros shut but even Kleenex just stuffed in it stays dry in a thunderstorm. The top overlaps the bottom section creating a nice watershed.

It is water proof . Though its not storm proof. Heavy rain will get in bottom-up.

I would never call it waterproof but I have been rained on a bit and nothing got inside. Keep a poncho with you in it, just in case.

I wouldn't say water proof, it's proved rather durable and water resistant to walking through the rain. I've had it in some down poor's and the items inside stayed dry. Just be sure and dry it out thoroughly before putting it away.

We have gotten a lot of rain and it has not leaked. Sorry, but that is the best answer I can give, but it is a very cute and well built house.

We love ours, had it nearly two years, never a problem with water getting on the inside..

I bought this as a gift for someone. She has loved it and it has a lot of room. As of right now it made it through the winter with no damage and remained dry. We just had some big rains and it is still dry as well. We have not really had it that long, so I cannot speak to durability.

Hi Jerrold, It is water resistant as long as the door is shut. If someone tries to put something in it that is to large or long and holds the door open, it could rain in. There are drain holes in the bottom for water to get out if needed. We have had no wet mail and have had some pretty severe rains in the last couple of months. If you are expecting to recieve larger packages from rather than just small mail, get the bigger box. I would recommend this to anyone.

Since we have had it, it has been through a few storms with very little water getting inside of it. I could consider it very waterproof.

It's not waterproof, but I've biked in the rain with it (not on purpose of course LOL) and it's held up just fine. It's not slippery fabric so you don't slip and slide on it. It dries pretty quickly too.

We always leave water in it. The inside is enameled the same as the outside. So far after about a year, no problems with the inside (or outside).
