The manufacturer is planning to offer a one year warranty for replacement of any parts of the tent that may break. The outer skin can easily be patched with duck tape for small tears. Because the frame is made out of plumbing pipe, the components would be easy to replace locally. ^{Interview with designer}

The manufacturer is planning to offer a one year warranty on the product, though they estimate it could last up to three years. The first weatherHYDE tents, first tested in New Delhi, have now been used for 18 months. ^{Interview with designer}

The product has not been independently tested. No tests are published.

There are no specifications provided related to the level of combustibility of materials, so users should take caution when using fire close to the product.

In order to use the product properly in hot and cold temperatures, users should flip the tent skin to the appropriate side to properly reflect/insulate heat when needed.
