At least it is easy to clean and provides bug protection. They claim they are weather tested, but I feel they don’t include rain or wind as elements of the weather. I could make a better shelter out of cardboard boxes and scotchgard. Overall this is a wonderful tent that has held up well to many years of family camping. The new Simple Push technology allows this canopy to be set up with ease in just 60 seconds. One person can use the Simple Push handle to extend the canopy so it is ready for use.

It sticks to the classics, with a very traditional design that works. There may not be many bells and whistles, but we don’t think it’s necessary here. There is no information about a waterproof column, so it doesn’t seem waterproof.
My Ozark tent was set up in my wooded acerage all summer long. I was so pleased with the quality that I upgraded and bought a bigger Ozark tent. I am very pleased with the quality of these tents. I’m going to Coleman for now on because you are incapable of making a zipper that doesn’t break so damn easy on the door.
Buy a couple of tarps…because you will need them. If and when I buy a new tent, I will go with Ozark again, and will not buy it from walmart….if you watch a doc. Called “Walmart, the high cost ozark tent of low prices” it will explain to you why the product there is so cheap. I had bought this tent thinking it was going to be dry, man was I wrong. This tent leaked water more than i had ever seen.
This I do not think a lot of people realize. But I do not plan on buying a new tent anytime soon. I received my Ozark tent from my grandparents, which I used 9 years ago when we went camping with them. The design change I want to comment on concerns the little “laundry room” that protrudes out the back of the tent. The short pole supplied for that protrusion splintered in two places and poked about four small holes in the black fabric of the laundry bubble. Better instructions on how it should be installed would have prevented the splintering, but I would rather have seen the “laundry room” not be an outside protrusion from the back of the tent.
Why not use your canopy for your next backyard party? The 10′ x 10′ frame is easy to set up and take down and is excellent for keeping food out of the sun. Using this canopy will keep your food cool and protected under the heavy-duty polyester canopy. Another great use of the canopy during parties is for the elderly or young children. While most people may think that you can only use a dining canopy while camping, this Ozark Trail dining canopy is also great for other uses.
I will never buy an Ozark Trail tent in my life and I will tell everyone I know that if they buy one what to expect. And that is you will never be dry in one because they suck bad. Every single one of our camping experiences has been ruined because of the OZARK tent. I would like a response to this please and I do expect some compensation of some kind!
I love tents and writing about them is my great pleasure. I hope you can feel this when you read my texts. Please check under the category Cabin Tents if you ozark trail tents need more options in this shape. But if you want a tent with a screen porch, you might want to check the Venture Forward North Shore 8-Person Cabin Tent.
I watersealed the seams, as per the instruction sheet inside the carrying bag but I have not been rained on yet. I called North Pole (the makers of Ozark Trail tents) not to get much help! Rather than continuing to wait for the company to come up with a soulution and stop questioning me on proper use or abusive weather conditions! I decided that for the $40 I spent on it, (knowing that you get what you pay for) I would sew the gap and seal it really well and get a thicker gage replacement pole for the fly. Only complaint was the zipper hangs on the front door flap, destroyed flap and zipper.
