I have had it for years and am thrilled with it. It has held up to kids camping in the living room and back yard, many camping trips to desert / forest / lake environments and even survived a bear “attack” with only a small tear. Doesn’t craftmanship mean anything anymore. Let me just tell you this, it doesn’t make a difference what model your tent is. The main thing is is that the zippers that you put in these tents are so substandard that it doesn’t last more than one or two camping trips.
I really liked the way it looked and the space but will not be able to use it due to the leaks. I am preparing for a camping trip of 10 days and nights down in Florida where it rains a lot and the wind sometimes is pretty strong so I am wondering if the fly will stay put. There is a large space between it and the top of the tent that might be a trap for strong wind so the fly gets ripped off. I think I will go shopping this week for another tent that I feel better about. Otherwise I like the tent but do not trust it to hold up in severe conditions. I have been camping all of my life and I know camping gear.
You set a new low in tents and the damn zippers you put in them. What are they plastic or made out of pewter.And before you guys cop an attitude, I have been camping since I was at least 4 years old and I am now in my mid-50s. My family and I have used it a total of 3 times and the seams have ripped. There is no way we can camp with this tent, if it would rain it would ruin everything. I just bought the 9’x7′ backpacking tent 2 days ago, because I want to do some bikepacking here in FL.
When something says “waterproof” it does not mean it will not leak. It is made of nylon and nylon does not keep water out. It is simply a way to keep you from direct weather contact. And as with any experienced camper, we all know that tents are not waterproof, even if it says money back guaruntee. That’s why you buy a tarp to put over and a tarp for under. So next time you go camping instead of relying on a Walmart special, use your head.
This 10’x10′ canopy pops up easily, and will keep sun burn and overheating at bay. Browse Ozark Trail’s top-rated hiking and camping gear and more. So I called the company requesting new poles and a month later I have yet to see my new poles. I will not ever purchase from this company again. I could make a better shelter out of cardboard boxes and scotchgard. Also using a ground cover under the tent (seems obvious to me) will help prevent water from coming in from the underside of the tent.
I bought this tent and was very dissatisfied, two off the poles snapped right where they connect in the silver part. I would not recommend this brand to anyone. This is the first time to use this tent so it was brand new. 85 outside so this should not have ozark trail wagon happened.
I decided that for the $40 I spent on it, (knowing that you get what you pay for) I would sew the gap and seal it really well and get a thicker gage replacement pole for the fly. It comes loose easily enough but over time this has put lots of little holes in that flap. We weighted 5 prime ozark trail canopy 10 x 10 bargains over the past 3 years.
