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 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.
The canopy also has an awning, banner holder, stakes and guy ropes. The canopy folds down to 52.5″ in length and easily fits into the roller bag with all of the accessories. It does become rather hot when the rain fly is on—I leave the rain fly off and house ozark trail tent it under a 12’x12′ canopy—but that has an air vent so rain comes in. I tried putting the tent rain fly over the air vent in the canopy but now am buying a 20ft by 20ft tarp to put over the canopy. Rained the second night and the tent nearly flooded.
I’ve set it up for whole summers in my backyard. It’s been a good tent overall other than the closet pole broke (but I’m replacing it through the manufacturer). The most popular product in their line is the 10×10 Instant Slant Leg Tent with a blue canopy top.
The frame is sturdy and can be customized to your preferred height. For those extra scorching hot days, the peak roof vent creates additional ventilation. It also helps to prevent it from easily blowing away, seeing as the wind doesn’t get caught on the large volume of fabric.
I’m physically disabled and by the sound of these reviews I don’t think this tent will make it a day… Unfortunately, I do have puddles and moisture in the tent when it rains (not terrifically waterproof). This is perfect for camping, the backyard and any outdoor socially-distanced summer events that need a little shade. Don’t miss this ozark trail canopy Sale – just $39.97 today! This 10×10 canopy is a must for backyard and outdoor events.
The reviews when I bought it were 4 out of 5 stars 290 people. I wound up driving into town, a 30-mile round trip, to buy a tarp with which to cover it, which cost me half again what I had paid for the tent. A good thing, too, as later that night it came a-flood.
