Walmart: Ozark Trail 12′ x 12′ Instant Canopy $45

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.

Seriously, by the time she said that I had the tent up. Amazingly simple no rods to misplace…highly recommend this tent if you can find them. I had some tents before, but when I was looking for a new one, I saw this on sale and take it to home.

We are even printing a few extra of these to have around and keep in the canopy bag for future mishaps. The feet areas of the legs are also something to mention, as they are shaped like pads instead of a simple ozark trail backpack pole. This adds to the stability as the weight is more evenly spread. It would probably only protect against light rainfall as the materials aren’t specifically made for moderate or heavy moisture levels.

We suggest you don’t leave it outside if you know it’s going to rain. With this model, you receive a free carry bag with wheels for easier transport, and 4 stakes and ropes to tie and secure it down. It can stand on its own, but we always recommend that you lock it down, so it has no chance of blowing away. Think about it like an umbrella, where you may often feel a whirl of air getting stuck between your head and the umbrella.

My only complaint is when I need to get in to the bag, but not is a big problem. I have fellow campers that would love to buy one, but for some reason I can’t find one anywhere. I would like to buy another one for myself as a back up. This is my third season of using it and it’s getting to be on its last leg.

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.

Even so, the roof openings have hoods over them, so there’s no easy way for water to leak through. Instant set up has become a huge selling point for many models out there. 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. To simplify your search for the best instant gazebo, we’re reviewing the popular 10ft x 10ft Ozark Trail Canopy.

Most versions at this price will stick to the really simple designs, with a complete lack of add-ons. While this model isn’t anything ground-breaking by any means, it’s still not oversimplified, and the vents are a prime example of that. For adjusting the height of this model, there is a push switch system that is designed to make things as easy as possible for the user. You’ll find orange buttons on each leg that are quite large so that you can effortlessly press them and move the poles up and down.

It also helps to prevent it from easily blowing away, seeing as the wind doesn’t get caught on the large volume of fabric. Getting our hands dirty with the top-rated 9×9 Neso Grande lightweight beach canopy tent. 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. In windy conditions high stress is applied to each side and the frame begins to break down at the unreinforced joint connectors.
