If and when I buy a new tent, I will go with Ozark again, and will not buy it from walmart….if you watch a doc. Called “Walmart, the high cost of low prices” it will explain to you why the product there is so cheap. I called North Pole (the makers of Ozark Trail tents) not to get much help!
I don’t see why you would spend more money on the more expensive sun shades, when the Ozark Trail did such a great job. It’s typically used by families, couples, or groups of friends going to outdoor events, but we can see ozark trail sun shelter it being used for more commercial purposes. As designers, we should be aware of as many manufacturing processes as possible. And compared to some of the tents in the EZ-Up lineup, it sells for almost a 70% discount.
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 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.
It has plenty of sleeping space and storage space as well. When the thing finally wore out I thought I would spring for something with a little bit more room. I got a 16′ x 10.5′ family Dome tent by Ozark Trail. The thing was fairly ozark trail screen house complex and that it was kind of mediocre, my main complaint is, unlike my Hillary it was absolutely not waterproof at all. It seemed like the rain came right through the top and formed a large puddles on the tent floor.
I appreciated the directions being attached to the storage bag so they did not get lost or misplaced. It was helpful that I happened to have a hammer to pound the eight stakes into the hard ground. I am all about saving a few bucks with Walmart’s camping gear.
Rain fly is too big — it needs one side cut differently to allow to get in and out of the tent. It needs a little bit bigger bag for storage. 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.
Upon initial set up in the backyard, I was very impressed. I have only bought Coleman tents in the past and have been very happy with them. The only reason I bought a new tent was for more space, which this tent provided at a resonable price. Setup was typical for this size tent – definitely a two person job.
My Ozark tent was set up in my wooded acerage all summer long. I was so pleased with the quality that I upgraded and bought a bigger Ozark tent. I am very pleased with the quality of these tents. Every single one of our camping experiences has been ruined because of the OZARK tent.
While this is amazing for evenings around the camp fire, the day time in the sun can be brutal. I can’t handle a full weekend in this type of condition. So I spent the last year looking for a budget friendly sun shade. After researching many different models, I decided upon the Ozark Trail Sun Shade. The Ozark Trail instant sun shade was incredibly easy to put up and even easier to take down. This will be coming with us to the beach and any sporting outings where we will be exposed to the weather.
