is it rain proof, living in Southern Cali, very little rain, but it does happen.looking to stow christmas decor, a few household items

Not airtight rain proof -- if you also throw a plastic cover over the items and be sure to pull the sliding roof tight, you should be good.

I store my power wheelchair in it and after several NY rainstorms, it had kept it dry.

It's rain proof. I live in NC where we get all kinds of weather. I've had my shed over a year now and my garden tools and lawn mower have stayed dry. Over time, the roof has warped slightly where there's more of an opening where the roof meets the doors. About a 3/4 inch gap, but I still haven't noticed any rain entering into it. It's a great little shed!

Seems to be pretty secure from the water. Ours seems to be staying pretty dry but I wouldn't risk it if there is something that absolutely can not get wet. I would still keep that inside or in plastic bins in the shed.

I'm in Michigan and it has remained dry inside after rain and snow..no leaks through the roof. You need to make sure it is slightly higher than surrounding terrain in order to prevent water from coming in at the floor.

My shed resides NM so it likely sees less rain then imaginable. However after the 2-3 rain events we've had since I put it up about 1.5 years ago not a drop made it inside. That being said, it has a 2 piece roof (the front half slides over the back half) which would be the only possible leaking point and I think that would only become an issue if it was installed on an uneven surface. Mines water tight!

It is weather tight. Live on the east coast and I rains here. Inside nice and dry.

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.

I concur with all the other three comments. If you drape the cloth (as I do the very Ight ones) then the rain will go thru and be pretty well distributed. Of you establish it more taut, it will tend to let the rain run off as any surface that isn't horizontal will shed some moisture.

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.

Yesterday I was at a crafts fair in the mountains and it started to rain, I was able to keep myself and my merchandise dry! I have never been in severe weather, but I think it holds up pretty good for moderate rain!

I haven't had it long enough to be able to know for sure. I hung it outside in my patio area and hope we get lots of rain......we live on the central coast of California. It's really a nice piece of artwork -- looks much better than the picture depicts.

Boy! That's a tough question. We are Southern Cal and the weather is never that brutal. The unit has worked really well for us and have no complaints. If I were you I'd just get and try it out. If it freezes just return it.

Naw it's been pretty dry here in so cal, I wouldn't expected it to be to waterproof although it does look and feel pretty seeled up I'm pretty sure it could handle a regular shower I wouldn't leave it out to long though

We've had several pieces for more than a year and "weather resistant" may be accurate but I don't think it's weatherproof. Soon as I assembled ours I sprayed with a rubberized paint. It seems to be good outdoor furniture and has held up well, but even with the paint there are numerous areas of a rust-like light stain. Not too bothersome to me and doesn't appear to be breaking down the material. But, again, I would not consider the furniture weather/rust-proof.

I have mine on an open air porch so it gets a little bit of rain on it. I haven't had any issues with rain bothering it. It wouldn't hurt to put a coat of protectant on it if it will be outside though.

Nope. Was a concern. I've asked other people and unless you're in a torrential rain, I hear they are not really needed. It doesn't rain much in southern California. This doesn't foul your leg like the stocker or especially most other heavy breathers.

It's not heavy at all. Should be fine for Southern California. I live in Austin, Texas and our winters are pretty mild (except for this year). This year I've actually wanted it to be a little heavier.

Rain has not been a problem. The mail box lid is not opened very long. I love mine.

We put several coats of sealer on it and it is holding up nicely. We live in San Diego, so no snow but we have had rain and I wash it down often when it gets dirty. The only issue I had with it is there is no drainage inside, so I had my husband drill some holes so there is a place for the water to run off. Otherwise it is a great item and we love it!

It is not water proof. With that being said, I have only experienced a light rain when riding out here in southern California. I left it on and did well. And I do mean a very light rain of about 3 minutes. If rained harder I would have taken it off. I would not use it in a rain storm. Also, looking at the manufacturer specs, it does not mention anything about it being water proof.

Ours is in front of our house, partly covered by overhanging roof that leads to our front door. So far it is okay, and it has rained a few (but not enough as we need) times this year. It will age faster if it is exposed to the elements, so I recommend water sealing it.Hope this helps,Jeff in Lake Forest, CA

I live where it snows and MELTS FAST in the Spring. Haven't noticed any terribly wet mail. But, if it is left open even slightly your mail will be soggy.
