This wasn’t the end of the world, but something I will consider with my next sun shield purchase. I understand that occasionally products have manufacturer defects. But after seeing this fail on both sides, I am concerned it would happen again if I returned the item for a replacement.

The canopy fabric is made of a lightweight denier polyester, offering water resistant features and 50+ UPF, which we love. Being protected from the suns harmful UVB rays is probably why you wanted a canopy tent in the first place, and this Ozark Trail tent meets all criteria in this department. The one complaint we have is that there is no vents in the fabric at the peak to release the build up of hot air under the canopy. Most new tents incorporate this ventilated canopy design to increase airflow and reduce the trapping of hot air, helping to keep those in the shade cooler and more comfortable.
An argument can be made as to whether this is good or bad. From a positive perspective, the lightweight design increases portability which is certainly important in carrying the tent to its intended location. From a negative perspective, the weight is indicative of a lack of high quality material and components used throughout the shelter. The included carrying bag does not have wheels to aid in transportation, but at only 29 lbs. We don’t find that to be a noteworthy drawback as the nylon handles and shoulder strap work just fine in carrying the tent.
The privacy panel can be attached to either side of the shelter so you can stay protected as the sun moves throughout the day. Easy-to-fill sand bag pockets are attached at the corners of the sun shade to keep the shelter stable in windy environments. The Ozark Trail Instant Sun Shade is easy to transport and store in the included carry bag with strap.
We took it out of bag carrier it came in, and were able to get it assembled in about 5 minutes. The box says 30 seconds, which will be true every subsequent time we now set it up. We strive ozark trail straight leg canopy to provide you with a large selection of products and easy shopping. My other complaint was the height of the structure. Why not add a little extra height to make it more comfortable?
Also note that you must choose the same color for both tumblers or you will not be able to add this bundle to your cart. I set up the tent by myself in a few minutes. There are all hooks, that you hook into the poles, so it is quick, but not the most secure. You could probably do it in the dark, if you had to. In windy conditions high stress is applied to each side and the frame begins to break down at the unreinforced joint connectors. Adventure is where memories are made, whether it’s campouts in the back yard with the kids, Saturdays at the river with friends, or a week in the wilderness alone.
