By design most screen tents are highly water-resistant but not fully waterproof in stormy conditions. More specifically, most screen house tents have water-resistant roof fabrics that can shed light rain. However, some screen shelter roof designs let rain water pour over the roof and down the mesh tent walls, which could let water inside the shelter. The best screen shelters include fully waterproof roofs as well as roof and wall designs that keep water outside of the shelter. Even so, screen shelters with roll-down walls are susceptible to wind-driven rain. Because screen shelters that come with floor kits don’t have fully-sealed ‘bathtub’ style waterproof floors like true camping tents, some water can get underneath the walls.The importance of each of these factors will vary depending on your situation.

Note also that it is supported with inflatable beams instead of poles. Even more unique, you have a single-point inflation design. So this shelter is incredibly easy to use. It is also fully freestanding. Screen houses offer little protection from the sun due to their mesh walls. The ceiling provides some shelter, but it’s often not enough.
