water-resistant, water-repellent or waterproof canopy tent

Which canopy tent is most rainproof?

Waterproof, water-repellent or water-resistant. What is the difference?

These three terms are often used as synonyms for each other, but they actually indicate quite different properties.

Water-repellent: water-repellent textiles initially allow water to slide off the roof surface. Raindrops do not immediately penetrate the textile’s interior, but after a short time the water will begin to infiltrate the textile and pass through it. Therefore, a water-repellent canopy tent cannot be used in continuous or heavy rain.
Water-resistant: water-resistant canopy tents are made of a very tightly woven textile, through which water passes with great difficulty. However, even then, if the rain is heavy or long-lasting, the water will pass through the textile, falling even under the canopy tent.
Waterproof: waterproof canopy tents are the only canopy tents that do not allow drops of water to pass through the textile in any weather condition. This means that only they can offer complete protection from water inside the canopy tent and make it impossible for rain to penetrate by combining a tightly woven textiles with a special waterproof coating.

When purchasing your next canopy tent, remember to make sure it’s truly waterproof!

The water column indicates the pressure at which a material lets water pass through it. To test the waterproofness of a textile, a so-called hydrostatic pressure test is performed. A cylinder is placed on the canopy tent textile and is then gradually filled with water. The water pressure starts at zero and then increases by 10 mm per second. The test stops as soon as the third drop penetrates the textile and is visible on the inside.

Calculation example: if, after 10 minutes, the textile lets through exactly three drops of water, i.e., 1000 mm, the test is over and the textile has a water column value of 1000 mm.

As a rule of thumb, consider that: the higher the water column, the more waterproof the textile.

when is a canopy tent tarp waterproof?

According to European standard EN 343:2003, class 2 textiles with a water column of 800 mm or more and class 3 textiles with a water column of 1300 mm or more are considered waterproof. When it comes to canopy tents, however, these are considered waterproof only from a water column value of at least 1500 mm. Also, weak points of many canopy tents are their seams, so it’s always very important to ask about this and make sure that these are waterproofed as well.

The test results on our canopy tents

Want to be on the safe side? So do we. We attach special importance to selecting high-quality materials and also have them tested. We regularly have our textiles tested for waterproofness by renowned international research centers. This is the only way we can say with certainty that our canopy tents are 100% waterproof; in fact, our Oxford textiles withstand water columns of 1600 to 2000 mm. Anything over 1500 mm is already completely waterproof, but we wanted to take safety to an even higher level!

Another thing that sets us apart are our seams, which are completely waterproofed, leaving no room for even the smallest drop of water.
These are small details, yet they make a big difference.
