purchased one of these this year and came to use this and found it was not so waterproof due to having the air vent in the roof.found that if it rained and was slightly windy the rain that had collected on top would come in through the centre of the roof as any body had a similar problem.
do you think this could be a big flaw that coleman did not take into consideration or do you think they was just considering how the wind effects the shelter

Deffo for the wind. Its better for shade than rain shelter - its only 1500 HH and mine leaks (slightly) under heavy rain along every seam.

I think it's fairly decent kit though.

Yes brilliant piece of kit, mine seems to be totally waterproof apart from the roof vents where the wind pushs the rain through the top.did have one of the 1st event shelters with out the vent and that leaked slightly.
All in all still one of the best shelters i have had and stands up to the wind bdtter than the square gazebos
