Thank you OZARK for making camping nights with small children just a little more difficult!!!! Good thing we are all troopers and we ozark trail wall tent didn’t let your HORRIBLE product ruin our trip. Again, I AM a soldier with nearly 30 years experience in putting tents together.
It is unlike the thin synthetic fabric you get on backpacking tents; this is much thicker. A fantastic vent at the top on the front opens and closes almost like a drawbridge, with a pulley handle on the outside to open it and one on the inside to close it. Even with this, we feel that a cotton canvas is still more breathable. The Guide Gear 10 x 12′ Canvas Wall Tent is one of the best canvas tents with straight walls. You need to be aware that when you buy this tent, you will need to purchase the poles and floor separately from here and here.
Also, any repairs can easily be made with a needle and thread without special glues or siliconized patches. Protects your roof from UV rays, sparks, sap, pitch, animal droppings. Fly will cover tent front to back and have a 1’ overhang on each side. Features reinforcements in all 4 corners in addition to d-rings every 3’ along each eave.
The Ozark Trail Three Room Instant Cabin takes our top spot as the best Ozark Trail tent. With room for 12 and nearly seven-foot ceilings, it checks all our boxes for a big family tent, but even as cabin shelters go, this one is special. We’ve also put together a handy buyer’s guide down at the bottom as a resource for shoppers who are new to the Ozark Trail brand, so make sure to check it out. There you’ll find all the info you could ever want on the materials, build quality, and weather-worthiness of these affordable tents. The tent is fully freestanding with its 6 leg poles, but you have stakes included and do not miss using them, this is a boxy and tall structure, not very stable in side winds. The tent comes with a gear loft included, it attaches to the highest area of the ceiling as shown below, so you can store some small items there.
You build the roof frame first, then drape the canvas over the top, then build up the legs one section at a time. The most challenging part on your own is getting the ground sheet pins into the frame, as it needs some tension and is a fair distance from corner to corner. ozark trail canopy Canadian Customers – Canadian customers cannot purchase and ship this Wilderness tent to Canada. Canadian regulations require all canvas tents to be Fire Treated, this Wilderness Tent is not Fire Treated. Please contact us to purchase a Fire Treated tent on eBay.
And as with any experienced camper, we all know that tents are not waterproof, even if it says money back guaruntee. That’s why you buy a tarp to put over and a tarp for under. So next time you go camping instead of relying on a Walmart special, use your head. 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.
Families with young children will appreciate the extra space and comfort as well as small groups on a camping trip. The bug protection is top-of-the-range, no-see-em mesh which will stop even the smallest gnats, midges, sandflies, or whatever else they are called around the world. On the roof is a reflective finish that helps to block UV rays and prevent it from getting too hot on a sunny day. The canvas is made from a 10.10 oz army duck 100% cotton canvas and treated for heavy rainfall, UV rays, and mildew. The inside is nice and cozy with the thick floor attached, and a stove is going when it is cold. You get a front and rear roof vent that sits just below the ridge and allows heat and moisture to escape when needed.
