Gear: The Ozark Trail Screenhouse

This probably could have been prevented by adding more yellow support poles to the roof. The screen tent came with missing and broken parts. Their solution was for me to pay for replacements out of pocket.

Now unable to get all the parts I need to make it worth repairing. I purchased Model #WT98010R and I’ve had it for 2 years and have put it up probably 6 times. This summer I had it up in the backyard after a birthday party for several days and one of the poles broke during a bad storm while I was at work. I bought two of these tents new last year from a yard sale.

The were never opened by the seller. We have only been using one since. After a pretty bad storm at the beach, a few of the poles ozark trail chairs broke…so we are moving onto the next new one and selling the first for parts. We bought this screen house at an auction for $5.

Then the hooks don’t even reach the holes at the bottom of the poles. Then if you can manage to get that far, you have to run like crazy to get it tied down before if falls over.

Childhood memories of failures with Tinker Toys came flooding back. But, with determined hope, I began to wade through the instructions. Now and then I walk into a store, it tends to be named ___Mart, and buy something I know is going to bring nothing but grief and heartbreak.

I purchased my tent a couple of years ago, but time passed and just got it out to put it up. Also, one of the parts broke before using it one time. The Ozark Trail Screen House is 13 feet long and nine feet wide, with a standing space that tops out at seven feet high.
