Plus, you can open and close them using small pieces of Velcro, so the power’s all in your hands. A definite smart design choice, the ceiling vents are a massive advantage for Ozark Trail Canopy and ultimately have two purposes. It’s typically used by families, couples, or groups of friends going to outdoor events, but we can see it being used for more commercial purposes.

It’s a matter of unpacking, unfolding, and extending the legs to your desired height. There’s no complicated insertion of poles and we love how it’s well-designed to be completely hassle-free. We explore the lightweight beach canopy that’s powered by the wind to see if its worth its hefty price tag. Overall, we think the Ozark Trail canopy serves its intended purpose – a value brand 10×10 instant shelter that caters to price conscious consumers looking for an affordable shade option.
However, due to the polyester fabric, it is water resistant. This means it can repel a very small amount of rainfall, like light precipitation. We suggest you don’t leave it outside if you know it’s going to rain. With this model, you receive a free carry bag with wheels for easier transport, and 4 stakes and ropes to tie and secure it down. It can stand on its own, but we always recommend that you lock it down, so it has no chance of blowing away. The second purpose is to prevent it from blowing away.
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 quality material and components used throughout the shelter.
With the help of the provided stakes and guy ropes, you can stake it down, so it remains secure. You never know what kind of weather you may encounter but try not to pitch it if you know it will rain. Even so, the roof openings have hoods over them, so there’s no easy way for water to leak through. Instant set up has become a huge selling point for many models out there. A lot of gazebos on the market, soft tops and hard tops, can take an hour or more to pitch which can be a big downfall when you want something quick and easy.
A couple of elements make it standout from a regular shelter, like the upper vents in the roof and the upgraded all-steel structure. It is the best, so easy to set up.Wwhen it rains it doesn’t leak at all. My autistic grandson loves it but we can’t figure out how to pop it back down to fit the storage ozark trail chair bag. As well as plenty of room on the ground, the height is tall and allows even the tallest in your family or friends to stand up everywhere, not just at the peak. We appreciate that the frame has been made of tough steel, as this ensures that it will stay stable throughout moderate winds.
It is made with a steel construction frame and polyester material for the canopy, which is in line with just about every shade tent on the market today. 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. Many newer tent brands like EZ-Up use revolutionary thumb lock sliders or larger easy to release buttons, which are a much better user experience when setting the canopy up or taking it down. With the push buttons you need to worry about pinching fingers or not being able to release the button 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.
The new Simple Push technology allows this canopy to be set up with ease in just 60 seconds. One person can use the Simple Push handle to extend the canopy so it is ready for use. Perfect for tailgating, ball games, backyard barbecues and more. He is a dedicated backcountry explorer and a trained Wilderness First Responder.
We think you should use a waterproof spray, that you can find at many retailers, just to be safe. The first is to generate an element of airflow when you’re standing underneath. Yes, it is a completely exposed structure with open walls, but when the hot rays of the sun are beating down, it makes things more comfortable when you have a concentrated breeze flowing through. Although you might think that you can’t get overheated underneath an already open structure, if lots of people are standing inside and if the outside temperature is boiling then things can get hot. To prevent any build-up of humidity or stuffiness, these openings suck in air whilst also letting hot air rise and escape.
