It has been made with high-quality materials and a sturdy frame, ensuring extended use. The canopy fabric is made of a lightweight denier polyester, offering water resistant features and 50+ UPF, which we love. Being protected from the suns harmful UVB rays is probably why you wanted a canopy tent in the first place, and this Ozark Trail tent meets all criteria in this department. 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. Most new tents incorporate this ventilated canopy design to increase airflow and reduce the trapping of hot air, helping to keep those in the shade cooler and more comfortable. The legs are locked into place with old school metal push button locks, something you won’t see on many modern pop up tents now-a-days.
Even so, the roof openings have hoods over them, so there’s no easy way for water to leak through. It would probably only protect against light rainfall as the materials aren’t specifically made for moderate or heavy moisture levels. We think you should use a waterproof spray, that you can find at many retailers, just to be safe. A definite smart design choice, the ceiling vents are a massive advantage for ozark trail outdoor equipment and ultimately have two purposes. It’s typically used by families, couples, or groups of friends going to outdoor events, but we can see it being used for more commercial purposes.

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 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.
The included carrying bag does not have wheels to aid in transportation, but at only 29 lbs. We don’t find that to be a noteworthy drawback as the nylon handles and shoulder strap work just fine in carrying the tent. It’s worth highlighting that despite the advertised dimensions of the 10×10 Ozark Trail, because this is a slant leg shelter the top only measures 8×8. You’ll be able to comfortably fit up to 4 chairs underneath the 64 sq. The benefit of the slanted legs is that these tents are more stable laterally which can increase the stability of the frame and make it less prone to toppling, an important benefit if on a windy beach.
