I have to agree with all reviews posted – 2nd time out poles (main support) and one of the rain-fly broke. This tent is not even water “resistant,” so don’t take it out if there is any chance of so much as a light shower. I used mine this weekend for only the second time since purchase, setting it up on Friday evening. Saturday morning, it began to sprinkle, and almost immediately, the leaks began developing, all over the entire surface of the tent. Not the seams, nor the floor, but every part of the walls and ceiling started dripping water. The wind started blowing and although the tent poles handled the wind, it was so noisy that there was no way you could sleep.
Leave home without it, you are better off with a blanket. It leaks.3rd time out (no rain or wind) broke the rear locker rod and 1 main pole on the 2nd day of a 3 day trip . It seems as if they just shattered.Very disappointed. I purchased this tent to replace one that I bought in April for my cub scout. The first one worked two times and I thought my boys must have damaged the tent — broken poles.
ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS GIVEN ON PALLETS. This tent is ok…I bought with the money that I had saved up and I really wanted a cool looking tent. I think that this 35 dollar tent could ozark trail chair outlast the expensive ones. Mine is red and black and the rainfly covers everything except for a tiny place to get in. I had bought this tent thinking it was going to be dry, man was I wrong.
Too bad I was out in a campground in South Dakota with others around to assist me with lodging the remainder of MY 10 days camping. Shame a new tent and I had to sleep in someone’s trailer 9 out of the ozark trail canopy 10 of them… Slight wind snapped a pole in middle of the night. For the price, I think this tent would be hard to beat. I bought it for my family of five (three small boys) and it has plenty of room.
I don’t know that I would recommend it for a beginner who doesn’t know his way around a tent. Again, I AM a soldier with nearly 30 years experience in putting tents together. This Ozark Trail tent is, sorry to say this, a POS. The Ozark Trail tent I purchased is model HKD 08055R. I have a design change suggestion but I do not see an email address anywhere; therefore I cannot submit it to someone who can do something about it. It sucked the trip the camping everything because the damn zipper broke and I got beast up on by mosquitoes and bugs.
