Again, I AM a soldier with nearly 30 years experience in putting tents together. This Ozark Trail tent is, sorry to say this, a POS. Do not, DO NOT, spend your money on this. This piece of crap promises the buyer a lot for a lot of money, but what you get is something of lesser quality than if you bought a tent from the local Dollar store. Overall this is a wonderful tent that has held up well to many years of family camping.
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. My fiance and I spend a lot of time camping. Not sure what season our tents were but, we had to get 4 of them. Buy a couple of tarps…because you will need them.
This effectively ruined the entire product. I couldn’t believe that the glue failed on both sides. This is a great tent spacious, versatile, and the ozark trail sun shelter zippered pockets in the front are great. The biggest of my problems with this tent was maybe a zipper getting stuck, but that is understandable.
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.
Everything was great until it come a Florida rain Saturday. We would have been better off with a bed sheet. This thing has holes on the seams as big as a ink pin head. So we had to pack up everything wet and listen to my kids complain about how much they hate camping!! I will never buy another product from you or another tent from WAL-MART. The Ozark Trail Sun Shelter with Fast Feet for Easy Set-up is extremely versatile and ideal for your active family.
I can fit six people in with guyer plus the front side zipper pockets are helpful. I would recommend that if you want to get a family sized tent in this category, to check other tent makers and purchase there. There was a procedure for pre-dampening ozark trail screen house it to somehow activate its waterproof properties, total BS. It is a big and roomy tent but overall you might want to shop around unless you are really strapped for bucks. Browse Ozark Trail’s top-rated hiking and camping gear and more.
