This is one of those products where the instructions are basically a complete fantasy. They make one false unstated assumption after another. What you wind up with is a web of pipes and plastic pieces that falls apart at one end as you assemble the other. Then the instructions start to get really funny. ‘Insert the leg poles into the hubs to raise the screenhouse frame’ got the first laugh.
Greed, optimism, stinginess, and materialistic guilt thrashing together in a dance of futility that leads straight to the checkout counter? To make matters worse, sometimes I’m so ashamed of the purchase that I can’t even bring myself to return it. I have purchased outdoor sporting goods from Coleman and they not only have much better products, but they stand behind what they sell. As an extra added bonus this item will ship to you for FREE, or you may also be able to arrange for an in-store pick up as well.
That’s what we get with foreign made products. Bought this at Walmart a couple of years ago. Never got it out, went to use it yesterday and the kit for set up is totally wrong.
I love tents and writing about them is my great pleasure. I hope you can feel this when you read my texts. Please see how I rate this Ozark Trail 12 tent, I use my standard set of criteria so you can easily compare with the other tents presented here in the site. They do not provide any official information about the fabric and its waterproof rating.
MY ITEM ARRIVED DAMAGED We do ship every item with extra padding. Despite this, our customers report that around 1 in 1000 products arrives damaged due to mail service mistreatment. I JUST PLACED AN ORDER, WHEN WILL IT SHIP? Please allow business days of processing and production time for your order to ship out. Next day delivery isn’t available on certain items during sales or promotions.
Making safety in the sun a priority, a UV protection of 50 plus is offered with this gray Ozark Trail screen house. Included is a carry bag to make transporting the canopy easy. Stakes and tie downs are also included so that the canopy is ready to use.
I contacted Wal-Mart (1-800-WALMART) to see where I could get a replacement pole for the tent. They are idiots and seemed like they didn’t want to help me by supplying me with the manufacturer’s phone number. The product is currently Out-of-Stock. Enter your email address below and we will notify you as soon as the product is available.
The plastic corners are not worth putting the room up. But I did find this to get parts from California. Absolutely no offer to resolve the issue.
The elbow elements which connect the roof poles and the legs are pre-attached to the tent so you cannot lose them, see one in the picture below. However, the setup time of this huge tent is some 20 minutes or so. It is much easier to set it up with a partner, this holds in particular for the fly because of the height of the tent. Seasons-wise & climate-wise, there is no doubt this is a summer camping tent and most suitable for warm weather camping.
Make three poles made of three pole sections marked “2B” and a final pole section marked “2”. Some items come direct from suppliers. If so, we’ll tell you a estimated delivery date on the product page and at ozark trail sun shelter checkout. Now and then I walk into a store, it tends to be named ___Mart, and buy something I know is going to bring nothing but grief and heartbreak. A Pavlovian reaction to super-size doses of advertising?
