If used heavily, I can not see this product making it through a full camping or outdoor season. We are adding all kinds of great carnivorous plant content. Go check it out and see if there is anything you like. It kept anyone out of the sun who chose to be that day.
The canopy fabric is made of a lightweight denier polyester, offering water resistant features and 50+ UPF, which we love. Being protected from the suns harmful UVB rays is probably why you wanted a canopy tent in the first place, and this Ozark Trail tent meets all criteria in this department. The one complaint we have is that there is no vents in the fabric at the peak to release the build up of hot air under the canopy. Most new tents incorporate this ventilated canopy design to increase airflow and reduce the trapping of hot air, helping to keep those in the shade cooler and more comfortable.
There is only one shade, which can be put on either side of the sun shelter. You just angle the shelter where you need it, then attach the shade. It’s literally that easy and is very quick and efficient to set up. First off, this is an affordable solution for a sun shelter.
The Ozark Trail 8×8 Instant Sun Shade did exactly what we needed it to. It kept us out of the sun when we didn’t want to be in it. I don’t see why you would
spend more money on the more expensive sun shades, when the Ozark Trail did such a great job. We also plan on using this at football games in the fall.
Polyester is also resistant to fading and tearing, ensuring that your sun wall will last for years. That’s why I always bring along an Ozark Trail Sun Wall – it helps protect guests from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Not only that, but it also provides a bit of privacy if you want to change into your swimming suit. If you’re looking for a way to provide shade at your next outdoor gathering, I highly recommend purchasing one of these sun walls. We put a small table and cooking supplies under the sun shade and this worked out nicely.
