You’ll want to use this tent somewhere that doesn’t get too hot, but also has little chance of rain. You’ve seen this tent on every influencer’s Instagram account. It’s the tent that looks like a yurt and that will have everyone’s heads turning at the campsite. I really enjoy a nice, spacious screen room for nights when you can’t be out by the fire because of rain. The top of the tent contains a clear window, so you won’t feel claustrophobic, and you can stargaze at night while falling asleep. The tent is made of one large main space, 2 side rooms, and a screened-in porch.
As with any piece of gear, the number one durability factor is the amount of care that you’re willing to put into use, and more importantly, stowing your tent. Although polyester is fairly resistant to mold, my biggest area of concern with the tent is figuring out a good way to dry it properly before forgetting about it in your garage. If the tent is saturated, you should try your best to leave it standing with the doors and windows open until it completely dries.
The zipper quality is not the best, it’s a little bit noisy, and it always, always snags from the outside because of this green rain cover. Finally, attach all the pole clips, place the rainfly over the ozark trail chair, secure it, and stake out the entire tent. Trailspace’s community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top tents and shelters. My Ozark tent was set up in my wooded acerage all summer long.
…its large capacity allows you to fit two large families inside and room dividers create a sense of privacy for each individual family unit. I actually even packed up one of my Coleman tents ozark trail chair while it was still wet, and when I took it out a few months later, there was no mold or anything on it. And also, there was this sort of inconsistent mesh in 2 places around the tent.
It can fit two queen-sized airbeds with a center height of 6 feet. This tent features a large door and a mesh ceiling, but no room divider. The assembled weight of the tent is 14 pounds, and it’s suitable for two seasons. It features one large storage locker with zippered access, a media pocket, e-port, gear loft storage, and storage pockets.
Took the tent back to Wal-Mart the next day and got a refund but it definitely ruined the weekend and some of us now have colds to fight off. I think the tents aren’t made with the quality of the older tents. I would suggest that you go back to making the tents as in the past and I’d love to have another tent only if I knew I wouldn’t wake up to rain coming in on me. Daughter did manage to get a lot of tent trapped in one zip at one stage and after 10 minutes of cursing I had the material out of the zip but the teeth were ‘offset’. Completely opening then closing the zip (again as per instructions) recovered everything as per new though. Oddly enough, Ozark Trail’s most basic, base bones shelter takes the title of most durable.
Weighing in at a hearty 15 lbs, chances are you won’t be hiking anywhere with the Ozark Trail 7 Person Teepee. Anywhere with pull-up vehicle access and nearby amenities would be perfect for this style of shelter. Take each of the poles into the tent with you and start with the one with the Y-shaped piece on top. Insert the rubber stoppered piece into the tent’s apex and the “bottom” of the pole into the reinforced corner on the tent’s floor.
This tent was close to foolproof when it came to the rain fly because it was already connected. We were given one as a gift and the first time we went camping we where caught in a severe thunderstorm with torrent rail. When the kids got older the extra dome was used for storage. 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.
