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.
With the push buttons you need to worry about pinching fingers or not being able to release the button when it gets rusted, which is never a pleasant experience. The legs extend to give the ozark trail instant canopy top peak a height of about 8’10” which will be plenty of headroom for anyone underneath. I actually made a great video that shows you how to set up the Ozark Trail instant sun shelter.
You set up the fly first and it forms a sun shade, then you hook in the tent underneath. The material is the polyester tafetta, the construction is only average. Once the structure is up, all you have to do is attach the detachable sun shade.
If used heavily, I can not see this product making it through a full camping or outdoor season. Upon taking down the sun shield things started to go sideways. The structure is held up by foldable poles connected by an elastic ozark trail sun shade band. There is glue on the ends of the fiberglass poles that keeps the ends of the poles in the required cap. This broke apart the poles from the cap fitting. I couldn’t believe that the glue failed on both sides.
I’ve had great luck with the Ozark chairs, sleeping pads, and other basic camping items. These products are overpriced at name brand stores like REI. You are buying the idea of being some cool, unique, outdoor person. The type of guy that would list hiking as a hobby on his dating profile.
