Is it sealed from snakes/ants ordoes it sit on top of pad? the floor sealed from water? Going to use this in Africa in rainstorms and ground flooding

Yes its waterproof... the issue though is you will sweat in it. If your going to Africa, try a lightweight hammock with a tarp for element protection. I would not recommend this for hot weather if you want to be fully enclosed. It does not have "bathtub" flooring that goes up the sides, so if your site gets flooded, I am not sure how this will hold up. Again, in the jungles and hot areas, I would strongly suggest you invest in getting OFF the ground completely, then with paracord and a tarp create a weather barrier.

I use this to store the horse feed outside & have never had any problems with water resistance. I did get some ants inside once, so obviously it isn't totally sealed.

If you zoom in on the picture you can see where there are small areas for spider or bugs to get it. It is not air tight. It has not happened to us..so far so good. The top sits in a groove so it is not easy to get off. My son is 2 1/2 and we have to remove it for him. He loves it! Always asks us to play with his sandbox! We love the cover because we have a lot of neighborhood cats (including our own). Hope that helps.

I am not sure as it is made of thin light plastic and the top is foam. Ours have certainly gotten damp in the grass San have been fine. I would think that the risk of it being ruined is more likely to be due to getting stepped on and squished. It is an awesome toy!!

Absolutely. I've had in during some hard rains and zero leakage. Now what this isn't is airtight. So if you're in a humid place, moisture will get to whatever you're stashing. But as far as rain and water, yes it's waterproof.

Mine also leaks. I keep it upside down off the ground about 12" with the zipper down. At least it keeps the bugs out. I too am not happy as it was advertised as waterproof.

You need a cover or it will get dirty. I use a waterproof pad over it (but under the cover) also because it doesn't have a water barrier.

I think you meant this question for the manufacturer. But I do not ever use water. I have been using this with the Bona pad for 9 years on my floor. After I finish my floors I remove the pad and machine washdry and it's ready for the next time.

I have mine on a covered porch. I believe it is damp listed. It works very well but it is loud. Does a great job of keeping bugs away. Memphis Tn

The Kamp-Rite IPS has a waterproof, enclosed bottom. It is made of the same material as the sidewalls which would make sense since it is an insect protection system. I nor my possessions have gotten wet; I also use the rain-fly of course during the rains. I live on a tropical island with lots of rain, wind, and bugs. I prefer sleeping directly on the ground without the rain-fly, on clear nights, but that's just me. I don't get bitten nor do I get wet! Hope this helps.

It doesn't let moisture make its way down to the the mattress.The mattress pad its self will get get wet in its top layer of material but it is waterproof. It is also not crinkly or noisy like cheap or old versions of waterproof mattress pads. When i took it out of wash a couple days ago i actually noticed how well it is holding up.

There is no removable floor I can tell you though that there is a flap that folds inward around the bottom to help keep bugs out. You could place a tarp over this area to enforce the floor or provide another barrier for added protection.

It will work better in high humidity. You get a better seal by wetting the pads.

Not sure without seam sealing. I waterproofed it too. It stood up through rain storm and then through snow the other week in Portland, OR without getting wet inside. I.didn't use it before seam sealing and waterproofing though. Sorry i cant be more help!

The best way to describe the floor would be like a "painters tarp" it's light weight material that is easily cleaned with warm water... It is not padded in anyway but it is a one piece playpen, floor is attached. I have my dog in there with her pet bed and toys she loves it. I have not used the zippered top/cover yet but will in summer when we are out by the pool to keep her safe.

There is no water just wet pads. It sucks up the dirt and cleans the spots pretty good. The pads seem loose effective ness on large expanses of floor. We have 1000 sq feet. I like the fact that it saves you a step because you don't have to sweep and mop. I would say it works pretty good on small wood floors but it's not perfect. I sprayed some floor cleaner down to help it along. Hope this helps.

It is more "water resistant" than "waterproof". Liquids in bulk are absorbed by the pad, protecting what is underneath.
