Does it repel rain well? I need to keep my cats' perching area on the deck dry.

We don't use it in the rain, just on the beach for sun protection, however, it is a nice big umbrella and should do the job just fine!

Of course it can repel rain, it is basically an oversized umbrella, which is great to keep kitty's dry

The canvas is water proof, but because of two openings the rain does get inside especially if you have an open porch. I would think if one of the openings was just a little bit smaller it might help keep the elements out.

the funny thing is that my cats like to sit in it and the my dogs don't. i guess because they were not raised in dog houses. seems to keep the water out pretty well. i even wash the outside of it with my garden hose.

We have ours hanging over our deck. It is woven material that does have gaps between the 'threads'. However, it doesn't necessarily fall uniformly through the cracks, ours tends to primarily pool in the middle and then drip through there. We have it mounted level at the 4 corners. I suspect that if we mounted at an angle that most of the rain would shed off the edge.

Yes. I really do love this as it gives the cats shade or sun, and you can have one side down to protect/shade the cat or all sides open. It is easily moved around even with my cat inside. For a temporary use- not to leave them in all the time, it is great. Pretty well constructed. This will be the second year I use it. My cat likes to get into it when I have it inside also.

I have mine on a covered porch and it came through it's first winter snows and many windy downpours without any damage and looks good. It might not fare as well if used out in the open during a heavy snowfall. Perhaps you could place it under an evergreen tree for some extra protection from snow. On my covered porch, it definitely protects the cats' food from becoming waterlogged. I did cut and tape two inexpensive plastic placemats to protect the floor. This can be taken out and cleaned and put right back in. About one year later, I'm very satisfied with this product and my several outside cats use it every day.

I am unfamiliar with the conditions bonsai need to thrive. This creates a humid and tropical type environment if outdoors in sun. I would say it is not cat proof but the plastic outer cover zips all the way down to the ground. A cat could scratch the plastic or possibly fit under the plastic cover from the bottom. I'm sure there is a way to block the bottom though. Otherwise, for the money, I am happy with this greenhouse.

The material is durable and thick so I would expect it will protect a deck from rain and sun. I used mine solely as a flooring protection between the tent and ground. It does a great job in both sandy and moist environment.

No it does not keep you dry. The fabric will allow rain to drip through. Sure is nice though for keeping an area cooler though. I have two over an area where I do some potting and it helps a lot.

The house does hold up very well in rain and snow. It was outside in the open all winter. My only complaint is that the openings are much too low and the very nice pad inside does get very wet. I have modified the two openings by adding a plastic cover over the bottom part of the opening. There is still plenty of room for the cat to enter/exit and the pad inside stays drier. I like the house so much I am ordering another for a recent stray that has been hanging around.

Yes, as long as it sheltered from rain, I have been using it in the cat house under my covered carport.

We use ours outside under a 5' eave overhang along with the other type as described in my review. The do not get rained on or wet if that is your question. The combination is quite effective at getting rid of the bats and their droppings off our decks. We do however take them in each winter. Hope this helps.

We love it and have it under a overhang on our deck. It does have slats on the top and sides that have small openings (1/4"ish) and louvre front so I would imagine if it were set in direct weather things would get wet inside eventually. We plan to put a piece of plastic on the top to help keep things even more dry. Hope that helps!

I don't believe so. However we keep the top on when not in use and have not had any issues with moisture cats bugs etc. we r happy with it. Hope that helps

I use it outside to keep the cats away. It will keep all strays away. It works well outside, and it also works in the rain.

Nothing got wet so far. Had it for two years BUT, when there's big wind storms the bottom door has opened up. Maybe 3 times since I had it. I have it against a wall.. not much rain gets there... so not sure how it would work out if it's right in the middle of the yard with rain on top of top of it. I use it for cooking... just wheel it close to the sliding door so I can get in and out of the kitchen. When I'm done, I tuck it against a wall out of the way. Love it :)
