It is also perfect for two couples, the two separate rooms give some privacy and the screen room may be used as a living room. When you’re looking at what you want in a tent, consider how many people are going to be using it. Is it for a large family or just used short camping trips? If you’re going to use air mattresses, be sure it fits your size of mattress (most tents can fit a queen size air mattress). Drape the rain fly over the tent so that the side with the pole sleeve is pointed down against the tent. Flex the ridge pole and secure each end by slipping it into a grommet that is built into the rain fly.
Over a hundred and seventy dollar Ozark Trail tent completely fell apart on me and my daughter. Ease of setup (how easy it is to pitch and take down a tent) is pretty much always a high mark for Ozark Trail tents. These tents are built for first-time and/or fairweather campers, so Ozark Trail puts a lot of effort into making them easy to use.
For a cheap and cheerful tent this served me and my daughter perfectly for 12 nights this August. So I called the company requesting new poles and a month later I have yet to see my new poles. I could ozark trail canopy 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 called North Pole (the makers of s) not to get much help! Rather than continuing to wait for the company to come up with a soulution and stop questioning me on proper use or abusive weather conditions! 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 is an Ozark Trail Dome Tent that is a 4-person tent. The design change I want to comment on concerns the little “laundry room” that protrudes out the back of the tent. The short pole supplied for that protrusion splintered in two places and poked about four small holes in the black fabric of the laundry bubble.
This tent, still new in the cardboard box inside the carry bag and never set up, was the best thing to happen to me. We got where we were going in late evening, and that night (about 20 minutes after arriving) we started feeling frozen droplets. I purchased this tent to take to music festivals and such, because it is like a small house. One day into a 3-day festival, I returned to camp to find both of the large poles snapped right in two. Every single one of our camping experiences has been ruined because of the OZARK tent.
I just wish who I need to contact to get a new tent shell and two end poles that are made of sturdy material would contact me and make good of it. We have never been able to sleep in it and makes a poor storage room. I am 67 yrs old and have used ozark trail chairs for years, but this covered screen dome turned out NOT TO BE A TENT. I would not even think of unloading it on my worst enemy. There was a breeze so I put bricks around the edge, and the rain tarp didn’t cover the whole of the window like it was supposed to, but that was it was a little hard to set up so it was understandable.
I initially bought the Ozark Trail Family Dome tent because of its price and I had had some success and enjoyment with the Ozark Trail brand in the past. This is one of your cheapest dollars-per-square-foot options out there. If you KNOW it’s going to rain more than 48 hours continuous, stretch out a tarp over the top of it, as the rainfly only holds up to 48 hours of continuous rain before you start seeing leaks. These are simple fast steps that can be done super quick during set up. Again if you are a family needing BIG tent at a great price that is durable and comfortable in ALL weather conditions this is a great tent for the price.
But the stitching in my Ozark Trail tent is not as great, there were loose threads all over the tent, and fairly big holes where the guylines are connected to the main tent body. In fact, one of these doors is even a hinged D-door, which makes going in and out of the tent that much easier. Alvantor has thrown in a PVC covering that you can pop on top to cover the mesh and keep your tent dry.
