Many canvas wall tent companies claim to be be waterproof while others say that they are water resistant. So, the question is, is there a difference in tents or do some brands make too big of a claim? How waterproof are canvas tents in general and do you need a rainfly?
Answer:
The material is classified as “waterproof,” but we find that term is overly used and never fully true. We would rather under promise and over perform. A rain fly is not necessary. However, a tarp is cheap insurance for protecting your tent. If you go with one that has been treated you should be ok. In general, canvas tents do hold up well in rain.
