How well does this tent hold up to rain? It says not water proof but water resistant. Does it leak with light/moderate rain?

this tent does not hold up very well at all. I was actually very disappointed with the quality and wished I had bought another one for my BBQ.

It did rain (heavy thunderstorms) the day of our grad party, and there were some small places of leakage. We did not use the sides. I also bought another pop up tent, like a 10 by 12 or something, and it had heavier canvas-like top, whereas this could be described at more tent material. Nylon I guess. I would think that if you sprayed it with a tent sealer, it might do a better job. I'm not sure if I would buy again, but it was easy to set up, and it did the job and can be reused.

You need a rain fly with any tent but I had it up in the rain once without the fly and it didn't leak. Other reviewers have had a different experience. If you are planning on camping in the rain, get the fly.

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 IRecommend 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.

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've had this tent since 2012, camp about once per year. Seen some heavy rain and not a single drop gets in top or bottom. After rain, I dry the tent before folding it every time.

I haven't used it in rain yet. However, we always have a tarp prepared just in case. I can't imagine that any tent is perfect! This tent is awesome though

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 tent is pretty sturdy, but not for wet weather. It is easy to take up and set up.

I have used it camping this year set up on snow and it did fine. No leaks, I do recommend Using a pad or something under your sleeping gear to provide insulation i have also camped in some pretty strong wind and again it did fine. I'm very pleased with my tent. Hope this helps.

It is Great. Took it to Flagstaff, AZ last summer. Had a huge rainstorm, and everything stayed dry inside !! This is a great little tent.

I was camping last month. Lows down into the low 30s. Had the vents and fly shut down tight and was very warm. I haven't been in the tent during a wind storm yet but have had 3/4 inch of rain in an hour and not a drop got in. I love this tent.

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.

No , the the material is like thinner umbrella fabric, that is not water proof. I got caught a few times in the rain and the water accumulates towards the bottom of the roof on all 4 sides and leaks through the material. I gave my tent away after probably 5,6 uses in 2 months, after one of the frame parts broke on the top structure. It literally broke, not detached, or screw came out. If you're looking for a more durable frame for that price, get a QuickShade, I had that one too, it's better quality and lasted a long time. Or save a little more and buy a Caravan or EZUP

It really does pretty good. I've camped on mine in all kinds of weather. Rain does not effect it, condensation does not build up in it. We camped in some really hot & humid temps in GA & FL and we open the zippers some to allow air flow so we were comfortable. We also camped with temps in the 40's, put extra blankets on ourair mattress which we ended up not needing all of them! I would highly recommend this tent for any weather!

We got it 6 months ago and we love it. It's easy to set up and pack too. We had rain and wind and no we didn't have problem with leaks.we recommend it.

Yes it is definitely water resistant. We have used it in a steady rain and it did not leak. However we have not used it in a downpour so i can't speak to that. but in a steady rain it was fine. We even had a flat screen TV under it and the TV remained dry. I love this canopy.
