The rest of the process was funny too, with wimpy frizzy guylines, and inexplicable bits of plastic that are supposed to tighten them. I had to use every knot I’ve learned from rock climbing. There’s shade, and fewer bugs than outside the screenhouse. I do have some reservations left, though.
Check the items delivery info at point of purchase. This tent is only $47 at Walmart, however that is not the point. The hubs on the tent and the construction of the design are worthless. A light misting rain and it’s all over. The hubs break and the legpoles bend beyond repair. I purchased my tent a couple of years ago, but time passed and just got it out to put it up.
The rain fly is with taped seams but it covers only the roof. On the other hand, this is a pleasant tall tent but this does not make it suitable for windy conditions. Note also that you have what they describe as a cathedral roof, this is great but this cannot support any extra weight.
Trailspace’s community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top tents and shelters. You either need six people or twelve arms to hold the thing together when assembling. Then the screening doesn’t fit right over the frame. Hopefully I can find a replacement part.
See the picture below to realize why; the ceiling is all mesh and you would not feel great in a cool environment. One could also describe this structure as a freestanding tent but this is a tall and heavy construction so don’t even think of using it without stakes, they are included. The peak height is 90 in (229 cm), so you realize how pleasant and tall this structure is, see the picture below. I have added it to my list of very tall tents for camping. Throw the screen cloth onto the roof of the skeleton and connect each corner to the bottom of each pole with the connected hook.
Also, one of the parts broke before using it one time. After setting it up, it seems to me folks just don’t know how to exercise a little common sense and patience. The overall construction is about what you expect for the price. The Ozark Trail Screen House is 13 feet long and nine feet wide, with a standing space that tops out at seven feet high. The tent fabric roof provides shade for 46 square feet of the room.

It seems like I am the second person to review this product, and the second one to give it a 1 Star rating. Goes together well, but as soon as we got a little shower…. Total collapse, hubs (2) shattered and two sets of poles completely destroyed. Not sure if I should order replacement parts or not, maybe I should just consider this a waste of money, and cut my losses while I can. I purchased this Screen House two years ago.
A friend kept sharing her deals so I had to start following and I’m so glad I did. I have been able to purchase so many items at great prices because of her posts. She is great about commenting back to questions or even just saying thanks to people who let her know they picked up an item she posted! Ozark Trail makes dozens of tents and shelters for campers, beachgoers and backyard loungers alike. If you’re trying to put together the 10-by-13-foot or 12-by-14-foot model, the same instructions will apply. In about 15 minutes, you should be basking in the shade.
This is why you should avoid snow with this tent. A very nice selection of mostly new and slightly used, gift ideas. Large offering ozark trail sleeping bag of Longaberger, 4th of July themed items, Small Appliances, Thomas Kinkade, Fishing reels, Pocket Knives, Trading Cards.
