Ozark Trail Tarp Shelter 9×9-inch with UV Protection

The ozark trail wagon very well might be one of the best selling 10×10 tent brands of all time. The easily recognizable logo has been seen by nearly everyone at youth soccer tournaments or beach vacations in recent years. Depending on your main usage, portability is important to consider when buying a pop-up canopy tent. A portable tent can be moved around easily with a wheeled storage bag or sling/backpack.

Perhaps our two favorites are camping tent additions that connect to the frame of the shelter and leverage the stability of the 10×10 frame to support a camping tent structure. The legs are locked into place with old school metal push button locks, something you won’t see on many modern pop up tents now-a-days. These push locks get very difficult to use over time, especially if the tent is used on the beach and exposed to sand and saltwater, causing rust build up.

With seven colorways, it’s easy to match it to your favorite team’s colors. Placed over a picnic table or on dry stable ground for kicking back, REI’s Screen House Shelter offers plenty of ventilation with coverage from the elements. The polyester canopy roof keeps the rays off, while mesh panels (doors and walls) keep pesky insects away. The biggest issue in all of this is the inability to withstand any rotational pressure during medium and high impact weather conditions as the joints become unstable and collapse at the mid points.

Use heavy-duty tent stakes to keep the tent from being damaged if the wind picks up. Steel, aluminum, or fiberglass are used to make the heavy-duty frame of canopy tents. Canopy materials for covers are made from a variety of sources—mostly polyethylene or polyester that offer UV protection and water resistance.

A longer awning in front could improve the overall sun protection of this pop-up canopy. The extendable floor, available for an additional charge, is a must as it can be raised to create a door for changing, rain protection, and more.

Make that camping trip more comfortable with easy entry and exit points and zipper openings on both sides that provide quick in and out access. No need to worry about any crawlies getting in with the solid perimeter at the base. Color-coded clips and pole sleeves make setting up a quick one-person job.

Depending on the intended use, canopy tents come in a range of sizes and peak heights. Larger tents, including 10×30 and 20×10, will fit more people, while personal-usage tents tend to be smaller, often an 8×8 or 10×10 size. The 7000 series aluminum frame construction and waterproof fabric offer UPF 50+ protection from the sun, while the double stitching and weather-taped fabric offer maximum coverage from rain. The 99 feet of floor space equals about 50 feet of shade, providing room for approximately three chairs. While a canopy tent will offer protection from rain and wind, canopy fabric is typically not made from waterproof material. These tents are also not designed to withstand strong continuous wind.
