Dozens of two-foot sections of pipe spilled onto the floor with stickers labeling them ‘1B’, ‘4’, or ‘2B’. Childhood memories of failures with Tinker Toys came flooding back. But, with determined hope, I began to wade through the instructions. That’s what we get with foreign made products.
We will not replace the 3-way hubs again. The campground received a moderate rain on the second night and the roof collected water in several places, causing the screen house to collapse. This was not a heavy rain by any means as no other shelters or tents collapsed. The weight of the water actually bent several poles on the roof and one leg. This probably could have been prevented by adding more yellow support poles to the roof. It seems like I am the second person to review this product, and the second one to give it a 1 Star rating.
I have lost the instructions and the list of parts to the Screen House. I was wondering if anyone can email me the instructions and List of parts. I would appreciate any help I can get. Anyone have spare parts for sale? I need to replace the center hub (CTRH-02) since this broke while I was using it. Bring the whole thing down when the winds are +20 miles per hour.
If anyone reading this review has any idea where I can purchase another one just like it, please contact me at Trailspace’s community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top tents and shelters. Tried to buy replacement parts but they were discontinued. The screening and roof are all in excellent condition, along with all the poles, etc. With two more roof poles, I’m sure this could be prevented.
Broke all four corner hubs and bent all 1b poles beyond repair. We loved it when it stayed together. Now unable to get all the parts ozark trail canopy I need to make it worth repairing. We bought this screen house at an auction for $5. Great for our buffet line for family camping.
The “frame” barely stayed together on the ground. Any attempt to lift a corner and insert a leg pole resulted in pipes flying everywhere. I ozark trail canopy thought of resorting to duct tape, but since I had none handy, with great finesse I managed to lift each corner one pipe segment at a time.
Setting up the screenhouse you need an army of people to hold the frame in place to put the screen over. Then the hooks don’t even reach the holes at the bottom of the poles. Then if you can manage to get that far, you have to run like crazy to get it tied down before if falls over. Bottom of screen doesn’t even tough the ground. This tent is only $47 at Walmart, however that is not the point. The hubs on the tent and the construction of the design are worthless.
It goes up OK, poles have color coded stickers on them. Been through several severe storms while camping with no issues. Keeps sun and bugs at bay which was my main reason for buying it.
Seems harder to take down than to put up. The way the poles clip into hubs is a little hard to get apart. This product from the list of stuff that I wish I never had bought it would in the top two.
Absolutely no apology for the poor quality of the product. The plastic corners are not worth putting the room up. But I did find this to get parts from California. When I got the thing home and deboxed it, the reality began to set in.
