That doesn’t mean they all leak when it rains or collapse when it’s windy, but they simply aren’t built for bad weather. Light wind and rain should be fine, but you’ll want to take some steps to prepare for both (more on that below). It’s a cool tent all around, but our favorite feature has to be the 360-degree views delivered courtesy of this yurt’s giant mesh windows. There are three of these large floor-level windows along the walls of the tent, plus the giant mesh doorway that can be left open in good weather. Having room to spread out inside a tent is great, but unless it’s after dark or raining, chances are you won’t be spending any more time inside your shelter than you absolutely have to. Nobody wants to spend all day sitting in direct sunlight either though, and that’s where a tent with a screen room like this Ozark Trail 9 Person Cabin comes into play.
Sure, the chairs are a bit small, and the pillows are tiny camping pillows, but this deal is a steal for those without any gear. For pros, the Ozark Trail 10-Person Cabin Tent is very, very inexpensive, and is by far my least expensive tent for the size. There was quite a bit of this sort of inconsistent mesh in some places, so not very well put together. I also found a bunch of loose threads on the floor when I first got into the tent, and excess material on some parts.
But even better, because you just pitched it in 2 minutes flat. Ozark Trail makes some of the best instant tents around, and certainly one of the most affordable. Though it is a cabin-style tent, the slanted walls will give it more wind resistance than a typical cabin tent. Weighing only 16.81 lbs it is one of the lighter tents on this list, but will be one of the easiest to set up in 5-10 minutes. Rating and Summary The Core Straight Wall Cabin Tent is an incredibly spacious tent.
You can also leave the rainfly off, and stargaze at night when it’s not raining. The door has 2 zippers for the bug net, and 2 for the door itself. The door can be zipped up from both the inside and outside. 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. The lowest height in the tent, which is at the four corners, is about 65 inches.
They all sit quite close to the ground, and both fibreglass and steel poles withstand a good amount of wind. Obviously, the steel frames in the 4p and 6p versions will be more robust, but fibreglass still does well for the smaller sizes. You can control how much mesh is left open, allowing ozark tent you to let more or less airflow through. The small locker can be access from both the inside and outside, and it’s so convenient for keeping dirty shoes and other items away. The triangle mud mat lets you store other things, while they are protected from light rain with the fly awning.
