However, I did encounter a minor issue with the pop-up frame, specifically one of the legs not fully extending. Fortunately, my trusty duct tape fixed the problem, but it’s something to watch out for. Our versatile Ozark Trail 10′ x 20′ Canopy provides ozark trail chair the protection you need for your next event. The innovative frame is powder coated steel with central hub locks for the frame and push button locking height adjustments. The 300D polyester top provides UV protection and is water and fire resistant.
This no-nonsense tent is intuitive to set up, has mesh on the top halves of two walls, includes a partial rain fly that’s easy to put on and stake out, and feels cheery inside and out. (We don’t recommend the smaller version of this tent for couples who might actually take it on the road; it was just too flimsy in our tests.) Also note that this tent does not come with its own groundsheet. Coleman says that the tent doesn’t need one, probably because its floor is a crinkly (though tough) tarp-like polyethylene, not a taped-seam polyester as in our other picks.
Everyone who tested this tent loved it, and it’s not hard to understand why. With plenty of interior space, near-vertical walls, and a gigantic vestibule that could accommodate a golf cart, the Wawona feels more like a tiny home than a tent. The Wireless 6 goes up easily, using the same kind of intuitive pole and clip method as our couples’ pick. This type of pole tends to be less flexible and bulkier than pricier aluminum, and it can be a pain to handle. To test the tents, we first opened them, splayed out their parts, and tried to put them together without consulting the instructions.
When it’s time to pack up and move on, the strong, telescoping, 3-position steel frame and feet make it easy to transport the canopy, offering stability on both concrete and dirt surfaces. With a 44-square-foot vestibule, and 86 square feet of interior living space, the tent has plenty of room to house beds, cribs, gear, pets, and camping furniture. Zippered doors can enclose the vestibule fully, so it serves as a separate room for the tent, or you ozark trail camping chair can leave one or both open, so the vestibule can act like a porch or mudroom. The main tent body has a giant front door that’s oriented to make entry and exit easy for all the tent’s occupants at night, and a smaller back window that doubles as a second door. Despite these minor issues, I still believe the Ozark Trail 10′ x 10′ Straight Leg Instant Tailgate Canopy is a solid option for those looking for a quick and easy solution for outdoor shade.
Despite losing some headroom in comparison with the Kelty Wireless 6 and The North Face Wawona 6, both of which measure six-foot-four in height, the Base Camp 6 offers a substantial six-foot-two. At $500, this modified dome-style tent isn’t cheap, but it represents substantial value. Many tents with similar profiles—such as the Big Agnes Dog House 6—either cost more or require you buy the tent body and attachable vestibule separately.
As a reviewer who actually tried the Ozark Trail 12′ x 12′ slant leg canopy, I must say I’m quite impressed with its durability and ease of use. The steel frame and polyester materials make it a sturdy shelter against the sun, rain, or wind, and its slant legs provide extra security. Like most dome-style tents, the Wireless 6 withstands wind like a champ—it fared noticeably better than the Camp Creek 6 in 15-mph gusts. The continuous curve of the dome shape allows for wind to pass over and around it. You can also get a nice cross breeze going by leaving the vestibules open. On sunny days and clear nights, take off the fly and enjoy the sky through the tent’s clear mesh canopy.
