To accommodate 10 people in this tent, it’s almost shoulder-to-shoulder sleeping, although there’s some space down the middle for just a tiny bit of camping gear. It allows many people to walk around very easily without hitting their heads. The doors are around 6 feet in height, which also allows easy exit and entry. If you need more options to consider, please check around in various categories in the site, this is all about family camping tents and you will surely find something for you.
It was very difficult to roll the tent back into its original shape to return to store. I’ve read many people have had the same problems and went to army surplus to buy a bigger durable storage bag.These are the two QUEEN Mattress I received with my bundle order. I did not open these boxes because they too needed to be returned with the tent. The separate fly, which covers the upper half of the tent, uses a third, shorter “brow” pole to form protective peaks over the door and the back window.
There are a lot of customers saying the pole didn’t last long for the Coleman tents instant 8. The bad news is that there are no replacement parts, so if it breaks you’ll have to get a refund or an exchange. A good tent allows you to fully enjoy the outdoors, without having to spend 2 hours trying to set up the tent, only to give up & end up sleeping in your car; it sucks. It has a nice mesh roof, mesh walls in the first room, and small windows in the second room, making for great ventilation overall. Crafted from robust 18/8 stainless steel with a sleek powder coating finish, this tumbler stands the test of time, resisting scratches, rust, and the mingling of flavors.
The Ozark 8 Person Instant Tent is the best value for money out of the 4 tents we’re reviewing today. While we share insights and celebrate the adventures that outdoor gear like Ozark Trail can offer, our site is independently run by enthusiasts ozark trail shower tent for enthusiasts. Products are rigorously tested to withstand diverse and challenging outdoor conditions. The mesh doesn’t exactly feel soft and silky, and I’m pretty sure it’s not no-see-um mesh, though it’ll keep the bigger bugs out.
Weight-wise, with its 32.6 lb (14.8 kg) this is not a lightweight tent, but this is a normal weight for such a steel construction. You will see in the comparison table below that it is lighter than some of its competitors. There is lots of mesh around and on the ceiling, so this will work great if you use the tent in a warm climate.
You can achieve full isolation, whereas zippered dividers can sometimes have a slight amount of open space around the edges. It’s made from steel, and the poles are telescoping which means that they extend and click into place. It seems unlikely to achieve such a fast installation with such a large structure, but the pre-attached frame makes it such a breeze. If you do not want to spend much and need a tent for occasional use, this is the item to consider. You realize this if you compare it with yet another lighted tent, the Big Agnes Titan 6 mtnGLO tent. With such a mesh roof you would not want to use the tent in a cold environment.
Again, Ozark Trail tents are mainly fair weather camping tents (so you won’t be hiking into the backcountry with them) which means weight and packed size aren’t a big priority. Shape wise most Ozark Trail tents either come in a cabin or dome shape. Cabin tents typically have more room inside to stretch out thanks to their high ceilings and vertical walls, so most Ozark Trail shoppers will likely want to focus on cabin tents. The blackout interior helps those who have trouble sleeping, and a divider curtain gives you some privacy when needed. Using polyester for the canopy and rain fly give it a lightweight and durable material that also blocks UV light well.
We were skeptical about the vestibule’s ability to handle wind, since it’s big and supported by a single pole, but it stood fast in 30 mph oceanside gusts and 15 mph hilltop winds. These can be as strong, or even more so, than aluminum poles (especially cheap ones), but they’re always bulkier, heavier, and not as nice to handle. However, the Wireless 6’s poles were the best fiberglass ones we tested—they left no splinters, unlike those on the Camp Creek 6 or the Copper Canyon LX 6. But it’s one of the least expensive tents we found that had no significant drawbacks and will truly cover your bases for three-season camping. The tent also comes with its own footprint, a groundsheet that protects the tent from abrasion, which we recommend that you have.
I hope that all the info in this post will allow you to choose the best tent for you, and that it’ll be easier for you to make a choice (I know it’s hard!). It probably won’t fit in your backpack, and it might not even fit in your car. Obviously if you’re planning to camp only in hot & dry areas, disregard this ranking factor. The tent is made of a rugged double thick fabric, that will keep you warm during cold nights.
For portability, I measured the packed size of this 6-Person Ozark Trail instant tent to be about 44 by 11 by 9.5 inches. Moving on to the materials of this tent, the flooring definitely looks like polyethylene, while the rest of the tent fabric is made of polyester, and the poles are made of alloy steel. This tent has 2 plastic skylight panels on the rainfly, so, when you open the top windows, you get to look at the sky, or stargaze at night, without having to take the rainfly off. However, I didn’t like that rainfly shock cord to be attached to the tent was super tight. There’s a lot of strain and tension on the shock cord, and eventually you’re gonna need to replace it. If you’re looking to save money but still want that cabin tent experience, the Ozark Trail 10-Person Two-Room Cabin is tough to beat.
