Ozark Trail 10 Person Tent With Screen Porch 21×15 Extended Dome Tent
So they are sewn-in to the walls and have central zippers for complete privacy. My estimate of the total protected area here is around 222 ft² (20 m²), or perhaps a bit more. It is easy to come to this value; you have a square and divide ozark trail canopy it in 3 x 3 equal units and then subtract 4 units. The remaining units will create the “cross” tent structure as you have it here, see the picture below. Here are some of the very lowest prices, with tents starting at under $30.
Don’t get me wrong, Ozark Trail’s teepee is huge, but unless you plan on stacking people, there simply isn’t enough room. You could fit 7 sleeping bags, but not 7 bodies and their accessories. For families, I think approximately two adults and three kids is about as much as you would want at one time, and even that might be pushing it. The set-up was understandably a few steps shorter, which is always nice when setting up in the dark. More than once in the dark I’ve attached a rain fly upside down and we had to restart that particular step.
Ozark Trail makes tents of all sizes, but we’ve found larger family camping tents to be their forte. The words “base camp” can mean anything, but make no mistake, this is a summer camping tent, so you have huge windows on all sides. The design also included mesh everywhere on the ceiling, so if the sky is clear you have wonderful views at night. When you’re looking at what you want in a tent, consider how many people are going to be using it.
It’s the kind of sturdy tent that I remember from my earliest memories of camping as a kid, plenty of room for air mattresses, folding cots, and all of your friends inside. In less than favorable conditions, the Ozark Trail 7 Person Teepee struggles to keep up, particularly when there’s a crowd. The recent addition of a rear awning has done a lot to mitigate the stuffiness, but still, it can feel pretty hot and humid when you have to batten down the hatches and have the entire gang with you.
We must have had some wind but not tornado force/ hurricane force winds. I just wish who I need to contact to get a new tent shell and two end poles that are made of sturdy material would contact me and make good of it. It is an Ozark Trail Dome Tent that is a 4-person tent. The design change I want to comment on concerns the little “laundry room” that protrudes out the back of the tent.
We just went on our first camping trip and had a 2 person tent. It was fine, but this one looks very spacious and easy to set up! As with any piece of gear, the number one durability factor is the amount of care that you’re willing to put into use, and more importantly, stowing your tent. Although polyester is fairly resistant to mold, my biggest area of concern with the tent is figuring out a good way to dry it properly before forgetting about it in your garage. If the tent is saturated, you should try your best to leave it standing with the doors and windows open until it completely dries.
The rainfly is removable, but only from the outside. You can also leave the rainfly off, and stargaze at night when it’s not raining. ozark trail canopy If there’s no rain, you can unzip the windows for more ventilation, and there’s a bug net to prevent larger bugs from getting in.
Take time to inspect your tent when you first get it (damages from shipping are common), and don’t ever “force” anything when setting up or tearing down your shelter. Livability describes the overall day-to-day experience ozark tent of owning and using a tent, and tents that are more comfortable, convenient, and easy to use score the highest in terms of livability. Our favorite Ozark Trail tent currently is the Ozark Trail Three Room Instant Cabin.
Because of all these features, you will see this tent mentioned in my separate text about best family tents for hot weather camping. I didn’t pay much for this tent (just slightly over $100), and I don’t think there’s any other brand apart from Ozark Trail that you can buy a 10-person tent for this price. All the windows and doors also have to be closed, because otherwise, the rain would drip right into the tent. Even in light rain, the rain does get on to the window and door mesh, so it’s best to keep them full closed. I bought the tent for $38, for a camping trip with a few friends. As soon as I took the tent out of the package, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I began to set it up, only to realize that the poles were broken BEFORE the tent was ever used.
The tent itself is nice and roomy, and boasts a 6-foot peak height to make changing clothes a drama-free endeavor. The floor of the tent is made up of a durable PE, again, pretty standard for camping tarps or other heavy-duty fabrics. Even though it is so robust, I always recommend using a ground tarp or some sort of barrier to protect your tent long-term. The poles are steel and connected by braided wire, so there’s not much concern with those going off. Guy lines and the sliding plastic adjusters are an area of concern, but so long as you don’t crush them or expose the tent to undue extreme weather, they should hold up. A key factor in any tent, particularly in big group tents such as this, is good ventilation.
