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 canopy fabric is made of a lightweight denier polyester, offering water resistant features and 50+ UPF, which we love.

The one complaint we have is that there is no vents in the fabric at the peak to release the build up of hot air under the canopy. A square, about 6′ x 6′, with X-arrange fiberglass poles.

The Ozark Trail Instant Sun Shade is easy to transport and store in the included carry bag with strap. The Ozark Trail Sun Shelter Beach Tent, 8′ x 6′ with UV Protection is extremely versatile and ideal for your active family. This easy to set-up sun shelter is treated with UV protectant and has a floor area of 48 sq. Ft. to provide the perfect coverage for a lazy day of lounging at the beach or to shade yourself while cheering on your star athlete. Center height so even adults can comfortably sit under it.

We don’t find that to be a noteworthy drawback as the nylon handles and shoulder strap work just fine in carrying the tent. The Ozark Trail canopy very well might be one of the best selling 10×10 tent brands of all time. The easily recognizable logo has been seen by nearly everyone at youth soccer tournaments or beach vacations in recent years. One thing we love about Ozark Trail canopy tents are the accessories that can be added to the shelters.
