All of the pop up gazebos do not necessarily protect you from the rain. Some models have some water-resistant features, like taped seams and waterproof coatings, though this isn’t always the case. These types of features may also protect you from light rain but start to leak if the rain is heavy or lasts for longer than a few hours. To prevent any leaking, it may be a good idea to add a waterproof spray to the roof of the pop up gazebo when you first purchase it and reapply it as needed. For heavy rains, you can also add a tarp to the roof to help keep leaks to a minimum or take the gazebo down until the rain slows or stops.
