The side windows should close in such a way that if it rains, water does not fall inside. The zippers are on the inside and only on the side and not at the bottom, so the bottom side does not close. Also, the roof should have some protective cover for the same reason (as it is, water pools and gradually drips). Finally, the seams could be better again to prevent water from easily entering. Nevertheless, as an "automatic" tent, we enjoyed it as well as the large storage bag.
