I am all about saving a few bucks with Walmart’s camping gear. I’ve had great luck with the Ozark chairs, sleeping pads, and other basic camping items. These products are overpriced at name brand stores like REI. You are buying the idea of being some cool, unique, outdoor person. The type of guy that would list hiking as a hobby on his dating profile.

The structure is held up by foldable poles connected by an elastic band. There is glue on the ends of the fiberglass poles that keeps the ends ozark trail sun shelter of the poles in the required cap. This broke apart the poles from the cap fitting. I couldn’t believe that the glue failed on both sides.
I go out to the rural part of the state where it is hot and dry. While this is amazing for evenings around the camp fire, the day time in the sun can be brutal. I can’t handle a full weekend in this type of condition. So I spent the last year looking for a budget friendly sun shade.
After researching many different models, I decided upon the Ozark Trail Sun Shade. The Ozark Trail instant sun shade was incredibly easy to put up and even easier to take down. This will be coming with us to the beach and any sporting outings where we will be exposed to the weather. I had purchased the item about eight months before getting to use it. Customer service stated that it was past the point where the purchase populated in their system.
Identify which ozark trail 8′ x 8′ instant sun shade fits you best. The canopy fabric is made of a lightweight denier polyester, offering water resistant features and 50+ UPF, which we love. The one complaint we have is that there is no vents in the fabric at the peak to release the build up of hot air under the canopy. Most new tents incorporate this ventilated canopy design to increase airflow and reduce the trapping of hot air, helping to keep those in the shade cooler and more comfortable. I actually made a great video that shows you how to set up the Ozark Trail instant sun shelter.
We put a small table and cooking supplies under the sun shade and this worked out nicely. Overall, I started out the trip happy with my purchase. The sun shield was a success considering the $50 price point. Please note, a stock image is included to provide you with a visual snapshot of this item that we could not capture otherwise.
We think this is the biggest standout in relation to how different this model is to others on the market. Most versions at this price will stick to the really simple designs, with a complete lack of add-ons. While this model isn’t anything ground-breaking by any means, it’s still not oversimplified, and the vents are a prime example of that.
