Front porch area WILL get soaked. Tent mesh isnt very durable (already I need to repair it).
The front porch area is horridly designed. If it rains, water WILL get into this area as the rain fly doesnt extend over it. While the main tent will remain dry, your porch will be soaked. My best advice is to set this tent up so that the front entry slopes downward so you can easily sweep water out. I love every other aspect of this tent, but unfortunately this is a really bad design flaw. If intended it to be this way - I have no idea why. As with any tent, buy an aftermarket seam sealer and apply liberally for extra water protection. The meshing isnt very durable - Ive already got a rip on my front porch area and its been used TWICE!!!
