Ozark Trail 10 x 10 Straight Leg Instant Canopy White

It's worth highlighting that despite the advertised dimensions of the 10x10 Ozark Trail, because this is a slant leg shelter the top only measures 8x8. While it might not sound like much, that is a difference of 64 sq. Ft. of shade coverage which we find to be quite significant. steel 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. We suggest you don’t leave it outside if you know it’s going to rain. With 100ft² of ground space, multiple people can stand or sit comfortably inside without feeling cramped. It’s also enough room to put a standard table, some picnic chairs, and a cooler or two. There may not be many bells and whistles, but we don’t think it’s necessary here. Even though it technically can, we think you should have a second person there to help out with the set up. Since this model is quite tall, you may even need a small foot ladder, so having someone there will keep things safe. With this model, you receive a free carry bag with wheels for easier transport, and 4 stakes and ropes to tie and secure it down. Please allow business days of processing and production time for your order to ship out. As well as plenty of room on the ground, the height is tall and allows even the tallest in your family or friends to stand up everywhere, not just at the peak. We appreciate that the frame has been made of tough steel, as this ensures that it will stay stable throughout moderate winds. With the help of the provided stakes and guy ropes, you can stake it down, so it remains secure. You never know what kind of weather you may encounter but try not to pitch it if you know it will rain. 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. Many newer tent brands like EZ-Up use revolutionary thumb lock sliders or larger easy to release buttons, which are a much better user experience when setting the canopy up or taking it down. 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. Although you might think that you can’t get overheated underneath an already open structure, if lots of people are standing inside and if the outside temperature is boiling then things can get hot. To prevent any build-up of humidity or stuffiness, these openings suck in air whilst also letting hot air rise and escape. 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. A couple of elements make it standout from a regular shelter, like the upper vents in the roof and the upgraded all-steel structure.
