I highly recommend that anyone looking for a good screen house spend the additional money and get a Swiss Gear. Don’t try to save a few dollars and end up with a POS like this one. You either need six people or twelve arms to hold the thing together when assembling. Then the screening doesn’t fit right over the frame. I am sorry that I ever purchased it.
It was torn up pretty bad so I decided to trash it. If you have the manual and can scan it and e-mail me ozark trail screen house I would really appreciated it. I loved sitting outside and eat dinner in the screen house and mess it.
Then the instructions start to get really funny. ‘Insert the leg poles into the hubs to raise the screenhouse frame’ got the first laugh. The “frame” barely stayed together on the ground. Any attempt to lift a corner and insert a leg pole resulted in pipes flying everywhere.
My family and I have used it a total of 3 times and the seams have ripped. There is no way we can camp with this tent, if it would rain it would ruin everything. This tent is only $47 at Walmart, however that is not the point. The hubs on the tent and the construction of the design are worthless. A light misting rain and it’s all over. The hubs break and the legpoles bend beyond repair.
Then I started having other wild fantasies, like effectively adding a room to the desert shack where I live by erecting the shadehouse in the backyard. We love the size of the tent and we used it for a week with no problems. The second time we set it up one of the poles snapped and now I can’t find where I can get replacement poles. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have large screen house and I love it. It gets used very hard every summer.
The screening and roof are all in excellent condition, along with all the poles, etc. With two more roof poles, I’m sure this could be prevented. I have purchased outdoor sporting goods from Coleman and they not only have much better products, but they stand behind what they sell.
Then the hooks don’t even reach the holes at the bottom of the poles. Then if you can manage to get that far, you have to run like crazy to get it tied down before if falls over. Bottom of screen doesn’t even tough the ground. We bought this screen tent about 2 years ago and just took it out of the box to put it up. I hate to say it but this thing is a piece of JUNK.
Just had to comment after reading these old reviews of folks who couldn’t seem to set it up without either A. It take 2 people at least to set this screen house up. Tried to buy replacement parts but they were discontinued. Repaired the cracked gable with duct tape and was able to use it one more time but then gave up on the cracked part and bought another smaller screen room. Had I have known that this particular screen house was so hard to find, I would have bought a kit and tried to repair it.
I need to replace the center hub (CTRH-02) since this broke while I was using it. If you’re running a script or application, please register or sign in with your developer credentials here.

My husband and I were in the screen room, keeping the rain from puddling for more than a half hour. We will not replace the 3-way hubs again. This is totaly wrong that a company doesn’t keep parts in stock. I was told to try and return it to the place I purchased it or wait the 4-6 weeks. Well I’m a camper and I intend to use this weekly. The rest of the process was funny too, with wimpy frizzy guylines, and inexplicable bits of plastic that are supposed to tighten them.
