This is a very typical cabin-style tent with very tall and straight walls, the peak height is 76 inches (193 cm). Ozark Trail 12-Person 3-Room Instant Cabin Tent with Screen Room is a nicely designed freestanding summer camping tent with a 2-minute setup and a steel frame. Assemble ozark trail tent your tent poles by snapping the nylon sections into the metal tube-shaped connectors. Ozark Trail is a line of tents manufactured for retail sale in Walmart stores. The tents are contracted for manufacture through a variety of companies, the largest of which is North Pole USA.
Ozark Trail is all about big family camping tents on a budget, and few are as big and budget-friendly as the Ozark Trail 10 Person Two-Room Cabin. I think it works totally fine in fair weather, so you can take the rainfly off and open all the windows for a decent amount of ventilation. It definitely won’t be great in strong winds, heavy rain, or even light rain though. The zippers worked fine for the windows, but kept snagging on the door because of this rain cover.
When something says “waterproof” it does not mean it will not leak. It is made of nylon and nylon does not keep water out. It is simply a way to keep you from direct weather contact. And as with any experienced camper, we all know that tents are not waterproof, even if it says money back guaruntee. That’s why you buy a tarp to put over and a tarp for under. So next time you go camping instead of relying on a Walmart special, use your head.
Plenty of customers swear by the Ozark Trail Yurt’s waterproofing, but we recommend treating it with an extra DWR treatment and sealing any missing seams before putting it to work. The first good design feature is the placement of the door on the side, and more specifically on the long side of the tent. I’ve tried tents with the door on one end and it is cumbersome. For the end-door variants, one has to toss their sleeping bag down the tent when getting ready for bed. Other items that you may want to keep at the foot of the sleeping area are also hard to access or reach if your head is near the door.

They claim they are weather tested, but I feel they don’t include rain or wind as elements of the weather.
I actually even packed up one of my Coleman tents 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. My Coleman tents at least had a zip down the middle of the divider.
