I purchased this Screen House two years ago. It goes up OK, poles have color coded stickers on them. Been through several severe storms while camping with no issues. Keeps sun and bugs at bay which was my main reason for buying it. Seems harder to take down than to put up. The way the poles clip into hubs is a little hard to get apart.
As I’ve mentioned elsewhere in the blog, I’m getting married in Joshua Tree on August 2nd, outdoors. Shade can be a matter of survival there if you’re outside at midday. We love the size of the tent and we used it for a ozark trail canopy 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.
Without instructions, it took me about 30 minutes to put it together and get it erected, by myself. Just had to comment after reading these old reviews of folks who couldn’t seem to set it up without either A. ozark trail chairs Hard to set up for one person. It take 2 people at least to set this screen house up. This model has been discontinued and I only need two parts to fix it. No information on where I can get replacement parts.
This product from the list of stuff that I wish I never had bought it would in the top two. Setting up the screenhouse you need an army of people to hold the frame in place to put the screen over. 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.
Great product, however, like everyone else, unable to locate replacement parts. I have lost the instructions and the ozark trail canopy list of parts to the Screen House. I was wondering if anyone can email me the instructions and List of parts.
For the moment, my dream of an extra room in the back yard has come true. Wish me luck putting it up at the wedding. I borrowed this screen tent and thought it was a pain to put up…the center hub broke forcing me to duck tape it to keep it together. The new types that go right up without connections are so much better. It was a nice size though and eventually got up with extra tape. This tent is only $47 at Walmart, however that is not the point.
We placed the screen house over a picnic table at the campsite and it did a fairly good job of keeping insects out while we were eating. The Ozark Trail Screen House is 13 feet long and nine feet wide, with a standing space that tops out at seven feet high. The tent fabric roof provides shade for 46 square feet of the room.
