Sharkskin fabric is not inherently waterproof; rather, it is designed to be water-resistant. This fabric mimics the texture of shark skin, which has a unique structure that reduces drag in water. While it can repel some moisture, prolonged exposure to water may lead to saturation. For full waterproofing, additional coatings or treatments are typically required.

Basically, the water gets drawn up into the fabric by a wicking process (this is why you can sometimes get soaked in a downpour if you are wearing a single layer anorak or raincoat, rather than a dual layer coat which has a lining).You can get around this by either using 2 layers of waterproof fabric, or by purchasing a specialist fabric designed for that use (Just Google "waterproof garden fabric" or similar to find such fabrics).
