The Ozark Trail Sun Shelter Beach Tent, 8′ x 6′ with UV Protection is extremely versatile and ideal for your active family. This easy to set-up sun shelter is treated with UV protectant and has a floor area of 48 sq. Ft. to provide the perfect coverage for a lazy day of lounging at the beach or to shade yourself while cheering on your star athlete.
The legs are locked into place with old school metal push button locks, something you won’t see on many modern pop up tents now-a-days. These push locks get very difficult to use over time, especially if the tent is used on the beach and exposed to sand and saltwater, causing rust build up. With the push buttons you need to worry about pinching fingers or not being able to release the button ozark trail sun shade when it gets rusted, which is never a pleasant experience. The legs extend to give the top peak a height of about 8’10” which will be plenty of headroom for anyone underneath. It’s worth highlighting that despite the advertised dimensions of the 10×10 Ozark Trail, because this is a slant leg shelter the top only measures 8×8. While it might not sound like much, that is a difference of 64 sq.
It’s not jam packed with all the bells and whistles that some of the other sun shades have, but the price was right, and it’s more than serving it’s purpose. I need a break from the Pacific NW clouds and rain sometimes. I go out to the rural part of the state where it is hot and dry.
Trending price is based on prices over last 90 days. We get down and dirty with this top-rated pop-up canopy to see if can handle everything we throw at it. Leader Accessories is one of the highest-rated pop-up shelters on the market, but is it the right one for you? We are adding all kinds of great carnivorous plant content. Go check it out and see if there is anything you like. We also plan on using this at football games in the fall.
An argument can be made as to whether this is good or bad. From a positive perspective, the lightweight design increases portability which is certainly important in carrying the tent to its intended location. From a negative perspective, the weight is indicative of a lack of high ozark trail instant canopy quality material and components used throughout the shelter. The included carrying bag does not have wheels to aid in transportation, but at only 29 lbs. We don’t find that to be a noteworthy drawback as the nylon handles and shoulder strap work just fine in carrying the tent.
