It can be described as an semi-instant system because the roof/fly is with a pre-attached frame, and the remaining elements are then attached to it separately. A solar eclipse is an amazing phenomenon and truly unforgettable – just be sure to wear the correct eye protection when viewing one. Solar eclipse cardboard glasses may be cheap to buy, or even free, but don’t settle for a low quality design.
If you’re willing to spend a few extra bucks (emphasis on few), the Ozark Trail 9-Person Cabin with a screen room gives some added livability at a similar price point. As stated above, durability and materials are the main pain point of s. The fabrics are often thinner and less technical (regular polyester rather than ripstop, etc.), and the poles are pretty much always made from cost-saving materials like fiberglass and thin steel alloy.
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, ozark trail tent you should try your best to leave it standing with the doors and windows open until it completely dries. In fact, with a little bit of seam sealer and an at-home DWR treatment, the tent performed much better in the rain than otherwise. All told, with some aftermarket work and careful staking, the tent will hold up in mildly unpleasant wet weather conditions.
So this Ozark Trail 6 Person Instant Cabin Tent with Light is really nicely built and with several very useful details. The tent is with an express setup design and very suitable for people who change the place frequently, and the integrated light sets it apart from its closest competitors. This is a steel structure with 4 telescopic legs poles that continue into crossed roof poles which you can see in the picture above, so the weight should not be a surprise. There is one extra pole that you add above the door to have a small brim. Regarding the capacity, this is officially a 6-person tent, but the area is 90 ft² (8.36 m²) and this implies 15 ft² (1.4 m²) per person. The dimensions are such that you can indeed put 6 pads on the floor.
It is easy to set up and take down, and I loved the fact that it has three windows for lots of circulation in the heat and humidity. Over a hundred and seventy dollar Ozark Trail tent completely fell apart on me and my daughter. I had to tape the tent together with military issue 100-mile-an-hour tape. Yes, I had to tape the tent poles together at night because the snaps failed miserably when the wind blew gently and caused the tent to completely collapse… in great weather, with little wind, and no rain.
