I have a set of rating criteria that I use consistently for all the tents here in the site. This tent has great features but the weight and packed size affect the overall rating. After pushing the Simple Push handle, there are four poles on each corner to support the canopy. Slide up these poles to your desired height. The tent is open at the top with a weather rain fly that fits over the dome. The fly is so small it allows rain to blow up under and then runs into the tent.
With this model, you receive a free carry bag with wheels for easier transport, and 4 stakes and ropes to tie and secure it down. It can stand on its own, but we always recommend that you lock it down, so it has no chance of blowing away. The feet areas of the legs are also something to mention, as they are shaped like pads instead of a simple pole. This adds to the stability as the weight is more evenly spread. It would probably only protect against light rainfall as the materials aren’t specifically made for moderate or heavy moisture levels. We think you should use a waterproof spray, that you can find at many retailers, just to be safe.
To simplify your search for the best instant gazebo, we’re reviewing the popular 10ft x 10ft ozark trail tents.
These canopies come in different sizes and colors, but the setup is often the same. Some of these canopies also feature a one-push button to pitch the tent with only one person. Ozark Trail’s dining canopy can easily fit six people with room to spare for a table and chairs. The canopy fabric is made of a lightweight denier polyester, offering water resistant features and 50+ UPF, which we love. Being protected from the suns harmful UVB rays is probably why you wanted a canopy tent in the first place, and this Ozark Trail tent meets all criteria in this department.
Before opening your Ozark Trail canopy, you’ll want to choose a site to raise the canopy. There are a few things to consider before setting up. First, you’ll want to make sure that the ground on which you’re placing your canopy is flat.
The one complaint we have is that there is no vents in the fabric at the peak to release the build up of hot air under the canopy. Most new tents incorporate this ventilated canopy design to increase airflow and reduce the trapping of hot air, helping to keep those in the shade cooler and more comfortable. The very well might be one of the best selling 10×10 tent brands of all time. The easily recognizable logo has been seen by nearly everyone at youth soccer tournaments or beach vacations in recent years. The Ozark Trail 5-in-1 Convertible Instant Tent and Shelter is a completely unique system with 2 separate 4-person tents, one screenhouse, and an instant setup fly. We just bought this tent over the weekend and put it up.
I am preparing for a camping trip of 10 days and nights down in Florida where it rains a lot and the wind sometimes is pretty strong so I am wondering if the fly will stay put. There is a large space between it and the top of the tent that might be a trap for strong wind so the fly gets ripped off. I think I will go shopping this week for another tent that I feel better about. Otherwise I like the tent but do not trust it to hold up in severe conditions. Let me just tell you this, it doesn’t make a difference what model your tent is. The main thing is is that the zippers that you put in these tents are so substandard that it doesn’t last more than one or two camping trips.
It is made of nylon and nylon does not keep water out. It is simply a way to keep you from direct weather contact. And as with any experienced camper, we all know that tents are not waterproof, even if it says money back guaruntee.
