I had to tie the tent up to the picnic table and my boat in order to sleep tonight. Slight wind snapped a pole in middle of the night. One trip I got rained on for two days, slight leak near power inlet but just a few drops. I did not waterproof seams so that’s on me really. When I began to put in the stakes I observed that even the stakes were inferior compared to my older stakes. The stakes that were provided were half the diameter of the stakes that were once provided.
I like the style and the tent looked nice for the hour it was up! I can’t believe that the poles broke so easily with no wind or any rain to damage it. What would have happened had we gone camping with the teenagers in there? I can’t imagine what kind of damage there would have been had we actually used it to camp. Sorry but it really is not worth the money or time. I bought this tent last fall from Walmart and the first time I used it I loved it.
Think about it like an umbrella, where you may often feel a whirl of air getting stuck between your head and the umbrella. This is where it would usually ozark trail chair flip inside out, if the wind is strong enough, and it can damage the frame. Instant set up has become a huge selling point for many models out there.
They said that they have replacement poles and the cost would be $34 plus shipping. For the price, I think this tent would be hard to beat. I bought it for my family of five (three small boys) and it has plenty of room. It does specifically say in the instructions that the tent should be treated along the seams with waterproofing, by the way.
It’s a matter of unpacking, unfolding, and extending the legs to your desired height. There’s no complicated insertion of poles and we love how ozark trail tent it’s well-designed to be completely hassle-free. We love this feature because it won’t nip at your fingers and you can do one leg at a time.

Leave home without it, you are better off with a blanket. I bought the first one right before the 4th of July. The poles broke the first night on top caving the tent in. I have to agree with all reviews posted – 2nd time out poles (main support) and one of the rain-fly broke. I feel bad that so many of you are having trouble with this tent. I have not had any trouble at all but we did lose the rain fly to ours (well, our son lost it!).
For adjusting the height of this model, there is a push switch system that is designed to make things as easy as possible for the user. You’ll find orange buttons on each leg that are quite large so that you can effortlessly press them and move the poles up and down. Overall, we think the Ozark Trail canopy serves its intended purpose – a value brand 10×10 instant shelter that caters to price conscious consumers looking for an affordable shade option.
