I am all about saving a few bucks with Walmart’s camping gear. I’ve had great luck with the Ozark chairs, sleeping pads, and other basic camping items. These products are overpriced at name brand stores like REI. ozark trail sun shade You are buying the idea of being some cool, unique, outdoor person. The type of guy that would list hiking as a hobby on his dating profile. Walmart has the Ozark Trail Sun Shelter in blue for only $16.97!
Center height so even adults can comfortably sit under it. Easy to set up with color coded poles, pole sleeves, and webbing, this sun shelter can go with you anywhere you may need protection from the sun. Side and rear mesh panels provide cross ventilation. Stakes and sandbags are included so that you can anchor your sun shelter anywhere.
We did take it to the beach on a day that had a little wind. It held up well and the stakes held pretty good. I’m not sure how it will hold up in super windy conditions as I have not been able to test that yet.
I broke out the Ozark Trail Sun Shade on my first outing this season. It took me a few minutes to figure out that the flaps on the bottom are designed to be sandbags for use at the beach. I appreciated the directions being attached to the storage bag so they did not get lost or misplaced.
The side curtains would function nicely for a windy beach setting. The product also comes with a tarp that can be put along the ground. This would be great for anyone that plans to sit down in the shelter.
Upon taking down the sun shield things started to go sideways. The structure is held up by foldable poles connected by an elastic band. There is glue on the ends of the fiberglass poles that keeps the ends of the poles in the required cap. This broke apart the poles from the cap fitting. I couldn’t believe that the glue failed on both sides.
Also, there is a hidden pocket to discretely store valuables. This is an excellent addition for soccer games or day at the beach.
