Ozark Trail Outdoor Equipment & Camping Gear

The height of the inside leaves you in awe of the amount of room that’s under the roof. My son is 6’2″ and standing on his tippy toes can barely touch the center of the frame at the ozark trail canopy lowest height. There is no information about a waterproof column, so it doesn’t seem waterproof. This means it can repel a very small amount of rainfall, like light precipitation.

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. This large canopy gives 200 sq ft of coverage and features an easy-up design with telescoping legs, so it can be set up in just a matter of minutes. It also has a heavy-duty water-resistant canopy and rust-resistant legs, making it a great choice for cover on party days with rain in the forecast! The weight of this Ozark Trail is lighter than most of the same size alternative steel frame canopy tents, coming in right about 29 lbs. 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.

Used for my son’s open house, had up for 3 days leading up to the event, and withstood light rain very well. For those extra scorching hot days, the peak roof vent creates additional ventilation. It also helps to prevent it from easily blowing away, seeing as the wind doesn’t get caught on the large volume of fabric. Getting our hands dirty with the top-rated 9×9 Neso Grande lightweight beach canopy tent. It was a little challenging putting it up the first time but still took about 10 minutes. Bought to use the 4-person connected and figured it’d be better to do a 10’x20′ canopy instead of 2 10’x10′ canopies.

With the massive influx of instant canopies taking over the market, it can be hard to find one that lives up to its claims. For a day at the beach, sunny picnic party, or other outdoor event, you want something that’s going to protect from the harsh rays of the sun, but is still easy enough to transport and assemble on site. We explore the lightweight beach canopy that’s powered by the wind to see if its worth its hefty price tag. Sturdy, super easy to set up, Nice carrying case on wheels, great price for how solid this tent is.

Most versions at this price will stick to the really simple designs, with a complete lack of add-ons. While this model isn’t anything ground-breaking by any means, it’s still not oversimplified, and the vents are a prime example of that. A frequent reader of our site put the lightweight Cool Cabana pop up beach canopy to the test during a West Coast vacation. The biggest issue in all of this is the inability to withstand any rotational pressure during medium and high impact weather conditions as the joints become unstable and collapse at the mid points. In windy conditions high stress is applied to each side and the frame begins to break down at the unreinforced joint connectors.
