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. And compared to some of the tents in the EZ-Up lineup, it sells for almost a 70% discount. One could, in theory, purchase a new Ozark canopy every year (which they might need to!) and still come out ahead over the years vs. purchasing a more expensive alternative. The frame is sturdy and can be customized to your preferred height. For those extra scorching hot days, the peak roof vent creates additional ventilation.
Getting our hands dirty with one of the best sun shelters on the market. Digging our toes in the sand under one of the best full-overhead coverage beach tents on the market. The new Simple Push technology allows this canopy to be set up with ease in just 60 seconds.

I highly advise that a tarp be used under this (and any other) tent, as that’s where most water will get in… I have had a drop or two of water get through the floor in HEAVY downpours with blowing winds, but not in normal rain showers. Great tent for a beginner or someone who likes to travel light. In the low-cost range of outdoor shelters, the Ozark 10ft x 10ft Trail Canopy is definitely at the top in its class.
The easily recognizable logo has been seen by nearly everyone at youth soccer tournaments or beach vacations in recent years. The Ozark Trail Commercial Canopy is packed with the features that you need. The frame is powder coated aluminum and steel with push button locking on the frame and height adjustments. The heavy 400D polyester top provides 99% UV protection and is water and fire resistant. There are 4 walls included and one of the walls has a zipper in the center for easy access under the canopy.
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 love this feature because it won’t nip at your fingers and you can do one leg at a time. With the constant movement of the sun throughout the day, it’s nice to know that you can easily adapt the height to maintain shade underneath. You’re also getting 3 height options, so you’re not limited in the elevation that you need. We explore the lightweight beach canopy that’s powered by the wind to see if its worth its hefty price tag.
We are even printing a few extra of these to have around and keep in the canopy bag for future mishaps. The feet areas of the legs are also something to mention, as they are shaped like pads instead of a simple ozark trail backpack pole. This adds to the stability as the weight is more evenly spread. It would probably only protect against light rainfall as the materials aren’t specifically made for moderate or heavy moisture levels.
You’ll be able to comfortably fit up to 4 chairs underneath the 64 sq. Although we always recommend using anchors such as weighted sand bag or stakes with guy lines attached to the top corners. One thing we love about Ozark Trail canopy tents are the accessories that can be added to the shelters. These include sidewalls, weight bags, and a host of other great add-ons that can really increase the use and versatility of the canopy tent. Perhaps our two favorites are camping tent additions that connect to the frame of the shelter and leverage the stability of the 10×10 frame to support a camping tent structure.
It sticks to the classics, with a very traditional design that works. There may not be many bells and whistles, but we don’t think it’s necessary here. We think this is the biggest standout in relation to how different this model is to others on the market.
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. Will not let anyone borrow it because I cannot find one to replace it. She fell in love with the way it goes up and folds down.
