It’s also enough room to put a standard table, some picnic chairs, and a cooler or two. The first is to generate an element of airflow when you’re standing underneath. Yes, it is a completely exposed structure with open walls, but when the hot rays of the sun are beating down, it makes things more comfortable when you have a concentrated breeze flowing through. This model follows a simple 3 step process, which is common among many instant editions. It’s a matter of unpacking, unfolding, and extending the legs to your desired height. There’s no complicated insertion of poles and we love how it’s well-designed to be completely hassle-free.
What better way to enjoy a ballgame, picnic, or any outdoor activity than with a little bit of shade! This 10’x10′ canopy pops up easily, and will keep sun burn and overheating at bay. You never know what kind of weather you may encounter but try not to pitch it if you know it will rain. Even so, the roof openings have hoods over them, so there’s no easy way for water to leak through. It would probably only protect against light rainfall as the materials aren’t specifically made for moderate or heavy moisture levels.
The frame is powder coated aluminum and steel with push button locking on the frame and height adjustments. The heavy 400D polyester top provides 99% UV protection and is water and fire resistant. There are 4 walls included and one of the walls has a zipper in the center for easy access under the canopy. The canopy folds down to 52.5″ in length and easily fits into the roller bag with all of the accessories. There doesn’t seem to be any information on the thickness level of the polyester, but this ozark trail canopy model does have a 50+ UV protection rating.
It can stand on its own, but we always recommend that you lock it down, so it has no chance of blowing away. To prevent any build-up of humidity or stuffiness, these openings suck in air whilst also letting hot air rise and escape. A couple of elements make it standout from a regular shelter, like the upper vents in the roof and the upgraded all-steel structure.
We appreciate that the frame has been made of tough steel, as this ensures that it will stay stable throughout moderate winds. With the help of the provided stakes and guy ropes, you can stake it down, so it remains secure. A definite smart design choice, the ceiling vents are a massive advantage for ozark trail outdoor equipment and ultimately have two purposes. A lot of gazebos on the market, soft tops and hard tops, can take an hour or more to pitch which can be a big downfall when you want something quick and easy.
