That’s what we get with foreign made products. Bought this at Walmart a couple of years ago. Never got it out, went to use it yesterday and the kit for set up is totally wrong.
The Coleman has even more extra space at 120 square feet of floor area. But with this extra size means extra set-up time at 3 minutes and a whopping 45 pounds folded down. This can be useful when bad weather suddenly turns on you.
But the screen room part of the tent requires some work. You have to add two steel poles plus the brow fiberglass pole. In addition to this, you have to stake it down properly in order to have it fully functional.
I thought of resorting to duct tape, but since I had none handy, with great finesse I managed to lift each corner one pipe segment at a time. Some middle sections fell out but I had a standing frame of sorts, swaying and wobbling. Its center height is even 7 feet high in case you have any tall people in your group.
Making safety in the sun a priority, a UV protection of 50 plus is offered with this gray Ozark Trail screen house. Included is a carry bag to make transporting the canopy easy. Stakes and tie downs are also included so that the canopy is ready to use.
So this was my review of the Ozark Trail 9-person instant cabin tent with a bonus screen room, a nicely designed and very livable family camping tent. It is designed to be used with two rooms and all necessary details are built to allow for such a use. But it can also be used as a single room tent plus its great screen room.
We deliver UK-wide but our delivery services may take longer if you live in remote areas like the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland. You either need six people or twelve arms to hold the thing together when assembling. Then the screening doesn’t fit right over the frame.
To set the tent up, you just have to unfold it and to extend the leg poles until you hear a click which will tell you that the desired length is achieved. The procedure is shown in the picture below. This part of the tent is freestanding as well. Queen Bee has been one of my favorite pages to follow! A friend kept sharing her deals so I had to start following and I’m so glad I did. I have been able to purchase so many items at great prices because of her posts.
Though the seams are all factory sealed and the tent is waterproof. The fly is a typical minimal design, made that way so that you have unobstructed views through all those 6 windows. The frame with all poles is preattached to the tent, you only have extra 3 poles for the screen ozark trail chairs room. The poles are a combination of steel and fiberglass. Regarding the construction, this is a summer camping tent, with the ceiling completely mesh and the fly is minimal by design. So you should not plan to use it in a cold environment, this structure cannot keep the warmth.
