I did not have these mounted in the photos posted with this article. 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. I need a break from the Pacific NW clouds and rain sometimes.
After researching many different models, I decided upon the Ozark Trail Sun Shade. The Ozark Trail instant sun shade was incredibly easy to put up and even easier to take down. This will be coming with us to the beach and any sporting outings where we will be exposed to the weather. I had purchased the item about eight months before getting to use it. Customer service stated that it was past the point where the purchase populated in their system.
Sometimes it’s easier to watch someone set it up and talk about it, rather than read a review. Feel free to check out the video below, or you can scroll on down and read more about the sun shade. 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. These push locks get very difficult to use over time, especially if the tent is used on the beach and exposed to sand and saltwater, causing rust build up. With the push buttons you need to worry about pinching fingers or not being able to release the button when it gets rusted, which is never a pleasant experience. The Ozark Tail sun shade comes with side curtains to cover the mesh on the side.
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 ozark trail sleeping bag 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.
Side and rear mesh panels allow cross ventilation. Stakes and sandbags are included so that you can anchor your Sun Shelter anywhere. The Ozark Trail 8′ x 6′ Sun Shelter is extremely versatile and ideal for the active family. We acquired about the seven hot ozark trail 8′ x 8′ instant sun shade reviews over the latter 3 years.
I go out to the rural part of the state where it is hot and dry. While this is amazing for evenings around the camp fire, the day time in the sun can be brutal. I can’t handle a full weekend in this type of condition. So I spent the last year looking for a budget friendly sun shade.
The ozark trail sun shelter with Fast Feet for Easy Set-up 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.
I don’t see why you would spend more money on the more expensive sun shades, when the Ozark Trail did such a great ozark trail screen house job. It kept anyone out of the sun who chose to be that day. It was nice having some refuge when you wanted it.
We also plan on using this at football games in the fall. It’s often raining and it seems like this will also make a great shelter out of the rain. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it beats sitting in the actual rain trying to control an umbrella. The Ozark Trail 8×8 Instant Sun Shade did exactly what we needed it to. It kept us out of the sun when we didn’t want to be in it.
