Water Proofing

Although the fabric used on the sports shelter is water "resistant", it is not water proof. Not many fabrics are, as I have found out through research and trial and error. Like many "tents" the fabric sheds water and resists the water from going through it. Once the fabric becomes saturated it will develop small beads of water on the inside and will begin to drip. This is only after a day of rain or the shelter not being allowed to dry out after use in wet conditions.

Their is a way to make the sports shelter fabric more resistant to water and that is with applying a exterior water repellent spray or substance. You can purchase this at various retail stores where you buy tents and outdoor gear. I have used several different kinds of spray-on water repellents and have found them to improve the "water proofing" of the sports shelter. Like everything, some work better than others. At this time it is up to you to purchase and use the product that works best for you. In the very near future Premier Sports Products will offer, what we think is the best, a water repellant that can be purchased and applied by us.

Remember to allow your sports shelter to dry out after using it outside in the wet weather.
