Ozark Trail Tent Reviews

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.

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 ozark trail wall tent 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.

From a positive perspective, the lightweight design increases portability which is certainly important in carrying the tent to its intended location. From a negative perspective, the weight is indicative of a lack of high quality material and components used throughout the shelter. The included carrying bag does not have wheels to aid in transportation, but at only 29 lbs. We don’t find that to be a noteworthy drawback as the nylon handles and shoulder strap work just fine in carrying the tent. The legs are locked into place with old school metal push button locks, something you won’t see on many modern pop up tents now-a-days. These push locks get very difficult to use over time, especially if the tent is used on the beach and exposed to sand and saltwater, causing rust build up.

Regarding capacity, each of the tents can accommodate 4 sleeping pads. But for real camping I see it as a system for up to 5 users, ideal for parents with 2-3 kids, and also for two couples. The pictures below show the most important steps when you want to pitch this structure, the meaning of the steps will become more clear ozark trail tents in the text below. You realize that the fly is pre-attached to the frame and you raise them instantly. This is currently completely unique system on the market. It can be described as an semi-instant system because the roof/fly is with a pre-attached frame, and the remaining elements are then attached to it separately.

The first time I got it set up was about that same day. My parents decided to do it and the setup was decent. I have been camping all of my life and I know camping gear.

When you buy anything from Walmart it is made cheap so it can sell for cheap.

This is just to let you know of my background and my knowledge. Your tents are not even good for more than two or three camping trips before the 10 has to be replaced because of your substandard zippers you put on the front door. I have had them break while pulling on them. We love this feature because it won’t nip at your fingers and you can do one leg at a time.

You set a new low in tents and the damn zippers you put in them. What are they plastic or made out of pewter. And before you guys cop an attitude, I have been ozark tent camping since I was at least 4 years old and I am now in my mid-50s. This model follows a simple 3 step process, which is common among many instant editions.

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.
