You have a floorless 2-door screenhouse for protection from flying insects, plus a large porch for sitting in the shade. I have all the good reasons to include it to my list of best screen houses for camping. In this configuration you have one of the two tents attached to ozark trail canopy the roof, and this can be any of them, the structure is fully symmetric. So this is a 4-person tent with a huge porch in front of it. This is why I have included it in my list of 4-person tents. My family and I have used it a total of 3 times and the seams have ripped.
Overall, we think the Ozark Trail canopy serves its intended purpose – a value brand 10×10 instant shelter that caters to price conscious consumers looking for an affordable shade option. And compared to some of the tents in the EZ-Up lineup, it sells for almost a 70% discount. One could, in theory, purchase a new Ozark canopy every year (which they might need to!) and still come out ahead over the years vs. purchasing a more expensive alternative. Regarding best use, you have already seen it, this is an incredibly versatile product with many variants of using it, as a 4-person tent, as a 8-person tent, as a screenhouse, etc. You can use it as an annex protected space next to your family camping tent.
It worked well that night and I got some rain in but nothing serious. Now a few years later I erected it in the backyard just for fun. I got this as a present just before I turned 11.
It is made with a steel construction frame and polyester material for the canopy, which is in line with just about every shade tent on the market today. The Ozark Trail Commercial Canopy is packed with the features that you need. The frame is powder coated aluminum and steel with push button locking on the frame and height adjustments. The heavy 400D polyester top provides 99% UV protection and is water and fire resistant.
It was a little challenging putting it up the first time but still took about 10 minutes. The frame seems very sturdy and the top is a decent thickness. Bought to use the 4-person connected and figured it’d be better to do a 10’x20′ canopy ozark trail wall tent instead of 2 10’x10′ canopies. The height of the inside leaves you in awe of the amount of room that’s under the roof. My son is 6’2″ and standing on his tippy toes can barely touch the center of the frame at the lowest height.
Perfect for tailgating, ball games, backyard barbecues and more. Even though it technically can, we think you should have a second person there to help out with the set up. Since this model is quite tall, you may even need a small foot ladder, so having someone there will keep things safe.
It sticks to the classics, with a very traditional design that works. There may not be many bells and whistles, but we don’t think it’s necessary here. There is no information about a waterproof column, so it doesn’t seem waterproof.
