Remember that the main entrance is through the screen room door and then through the double tent door. After setting it up, it seems to me ozark trail canopy 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.
Wasn’t even able to get the tent set up in a mild wind before one of the corner plastic parts broke. I purchased my tent a couple ozark trail chairs of years ago, but time passed and just got it out to put it up. Also, one of the parts broke before using it one time.
But the screen room part of the tent requires some work. You have to add two steel poles plus the brow fiberglass pole. In addition to this, you have to stake it down properly in order to have it fully functional.
Make the most of your next family picnic or outdoor event with the Ozark Trail 10′ x 10′ Screen House. This spacious instant screen house sets up in 60 seconds, providing a quick relaxing retreat from the sun and bugs. Plus, it has two doors for easy access and a seven-foot center height. This canopy is constructed with heavy-duty polyester mesh and a steel frame to provide long-lasting use and durability. The steel frame comes pre-attached so that assembly is a breeze.
Making safety in the sun a priority, a UV protection of 50 plus is offered with this gray ozark trail screen house. Included is a carry bag to make transporting the canopy easy. Stakes and tie downs are also included so that the canopy is ready to use.
The application of any foreign substance to the tent fabric may render the flame-resistant properties ineffective. Dan Harkins has been a full-time journalist since 1997. Throw the screen cloth onto the roof of the skeleton and connect each corner to the bottom of each pole with the connected hook. Place the two joint sections marked “T” on either side of the pole that will be your center, most-elevated pole.
The benefits are the easy pop-up installation and fold down, and even come in smaller sizes at even lighter weights if that makes more sense for you. The assembly is also easy at 45 seconds and weighs only 34 pounds for easy transport. Like the CLAM, you can buy wind resistance panels separately if you’re camping somewhere particularly breezy.
Though the seams are all factory sealed and the tent is waterproof. The fly is a typical minimal design, made that way so that you have unobstructed views through all those 6 windows. The frame with all poles is preattached to the tent, you only have extra 3 poles for the screen room. The poles are a combination of steel and fiberglass. Regarding the construction, this is a summer camping tent, with the ceiling completely mesh and the fly is minimal by design. So you should not plan to use it in a cold environment, this structure cannot keep the warmth.
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.
It gives great shade and it keeps flies out. We used it to put it over a little swimming pool for our children and it works great. I called to get a replacement and the customer service person I talked to was awesome!
