(We were stubborn and didn’t look at the instructions.) Once you identify the front and back, the process is straightforward. The fly goes up and over the tent body, covering only the upper half of the mesh dome, and then forms the glorious vestibule with the aid of a third pole. Use the extra stakes and guy-lines provided to stabilize the vestibule as much as you need. Families who regularly pitch their tent in rainy locales need a wind-fighting tent with a good-size vestibule for storing wet shoes and gear, as well as a full rain fly for added weather protection. With clear instructions, I was able to put it up in no time, completely hassle-free. Its slant leg design adds an extra level of safety and security, ensuring that my tent doesn’t budge, even during windy days.
Overall, it’s a decent product that gets the job done, especially considering its affordable price point. It features a double wall vacuum seal design and is built from high-grade 18/8 stainless steel. When purchasing from Walmart’s website, you have the option of selecting one of 4 colors; black, mint, silver, or tan. Another great thing that Walmart provides is the ability to purchase the 32oz Ozark Trail Tumbler in quantities of 1, 2, 4, or 6.
Whether it’s finding great products or discovering helpful advice, we’ll help you get it right (the first time). Throughout all our testing, we wanted to know how it felt to be inside the tents for long periods of time. If we had to spend a day in the tent during a storm, would it be comfortable? After first removing the models that failed the structural tests, we slept, watched the stars, and ate our meals in all of the tents, as well as planned hikes from them.
It has everything you need for three-season camping, with the bonus of being light enough to double as an occasional backpacking tent. Although it’s designed to accommodate three people—hence the “3” in its name—we found that at 42.5 square feet, the tent is more comfortable for two, plus gear and maybe a medium-size dog. A classic polyester dome tent, the Mineral King 3 uses two high-quality pre-bent aluminum poles, which maximize head and shoulder space, making this tent feel less cramped than other dome tents we tested.
Additionally, one of the tent poles bent, causing the ceiling to sag and creating a tear in the fabric. Overall, this canopy is an excellent choice for those looking for an affordable and easy-to-use solution for outdoor events. With its simple setup, sturdy frame, and attractive designs, the Ozark Trail 10 x 10 Straight Leg Instant Canopy is sure to become a favorite. I recently got the chance to use the Ozark Trail 14′ x 14′ Instant Lighted Canopy for a backyard barbecue and I have to say, it definitely added some magic to our evening. The LED-lit poles and different brightness levels were a game-changer for maintaining our party vibe even after the sun set. I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of space it provided under its shady canopy.
Center height means even tall members of your crew can stand up in your tent. The Ozark Trail 6-person Connect Ent comes with a sewn-in floor to help keep bugs out. The Mineral King 3’s fly attaches intuitively with plastic buckles and has well-placed guy tabs.
Just remember, always bring extra D batteries for the light — you don’t want the party to end just because the lights do. The Ozark Trail cooler is made from polyethylene, which is the most common kind of plastic in use today. The rotomolding process entails heating plastic pellets which coat the interior of a mold while it is spun around in a number of different directions at a very consistent pace.
The tent doors are nearly wall-sized, and after you unzip them, you simply stuff them into pockets, rather than having to roll and toggle-tie the fabric. Another two hanging pockets plus loops for a ceiling hammock provide simple yet effective interior storage. I’ve been using the ozark trail chair, and I must say it’s been a game-changer for my outdoor activities. The setup is a breeze — it took me just a few minutes to assemble, and the slanted leg design provides a sturdy and secure structure.
I do think the Pelicans pull handle is the lowest on my list of the three. As far as color options go, you can purchase this in one of two colors, Greystone which is the one featured in this article and a lighter grey. The constant color feature among the two are the orange rimmed wheels which I don’t love but, it is not a deal breaker. Cracking this thing open sounds like you are opening the airlock on a spaceship. You can tell there is a serious seal established when you latch this shut.
