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.
Every time we put some faith in these tents we got let down. My fiance and I spend a lot of time camping. Not sure what season our tents were ozark trail canopy but, we had to get 4 of them. I have pitched the tent twice in my back yard and found that I could pitch it by myself in about one hour.
We have never been able to sleep in it and makes a poor storage room. I am 67 yrs old and have used Ozark Trail tents for years, but this covered screen dome turned out NOT TO BE A TENT. I would not even think of unloading it on my worst enemy. I purchased this tent to take to music festivals and such, because it is like a small house. However, for its second trip it just fell apart. One day into a 3-day festival, I returned to camp to find both of the large poles snapped right in two.
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.
The frame is sturdy and can be customized to your preferred height. For those extra scorching hot days, the peak roof vent creates additional ventilation. It also helps to prevent it from easily blowing away, seeing as the wind doesn’t get caught on the large volume of fabric. In the low-cost range of outdoor shelters, the Ozark 10ft x 10ft Trail Canopy is definitely at the top in its class.
