I have flip over hut that i used camp dry spray on when I first got it a few seasons ago. Applied it twice. Wondering how many people do this and how often they reapply if they do it at all?
-
I give my roof a heavy double coat of waterproofer the 2nd season I had it, and then a generous spritzing annually since.
It works, never had water dripping issues on snowy days since I treated it.

Once a year before 1st ice w/ scotchgard spray usually keeps the water beading till late season for my fabric shanties. Anything I've applied to a tarp style fabric has been a one & done after getting wet
-
I do nothing. Hang it out to dry if it's wet. About it. No issues.

After using my shappell 6500 widehouse for quite a few years it needed to be sprayed with camp dry as it started to leak when snow was on top.thats been 2 years since i applied it and its still pretty waterproof.

Star brite Waterproofing works really well. Just make sure to use it in an open dry area.

That's what I use. Let it air out a few days too, or it'll about stink you to death first time you fish.

Just applied some camp dry again today. Not that I ever had a problem with water leaking but don’t want it to start.

Used to do it on the old pop up, but haven't done so on the insulated Eskimo. I remember that the seams on them will soak up water, so perhaps I may look into some seam sealer in the future.
