You have two large mesh windows on the sides (they are also with panels for privacy and against the rain), and two windows are on the front doors, also with mesh and panels. The ceiling is all mesh as typical for all Ozark Trail tents (but see some of their dark rest tents). So in the situations without rain, this should be good enough. As well as plenty of room on the ground, the height is tall and allows even the tallest in your family or friends to stand up everywhere, not just at the peak. The feet areas of the legs are also something to mention, as they are shaped like pads instead of a simple pole.
We put the lightweight Cool Cabana pop up beach canopy to the test during an East Coast vacation. But as you have seen, I have some objections regarding the inner features that are needed for comfort, as the absence of floor vents and practically useless wall pockets. A few very small pockets are on the wall, see the picture below, and I find this really inappropriate for such a big tent designed for 11 people. See this Big Agnes Flying Diamond 6 tent which has 16 huge pockets (for 6 people). But there are no floor vents here, and this is not so great if you have to keep the panels on the windows closed.
In terms of being waterproof, we think it’s more so water repellent. Think about it like an umbrella, where you may often feel a whirl of air getting stuck between your head and the umbrella. This is where it would usually ozark trail canopy flip inside out, if the wind is strong enough, and it can damage the frame. It’s typically used by families, couples, or groups of friends going to outdoor events, but we can see it being used for more commercial purposes.
This adds to the stability as the weight is more evenly spread. 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. 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. A definite smart design choice, the ceiling vents are a massive advantage for Ozark Trail Canopy and ultimately have two purposes.
