This is a tall and boxy structure so it is best to use it in a quiet area. But I have seen some users reporting of using it in the winds of 50 mph.

The screen door is also covered with a removable cover to protect the entrance. The tent also includes hanging organizers, storage pockets, as well as a media pocket to help keep the tent organized. The main area is huge, giving you and the family plenty of room to enjoy each other’s company. Ozark Trail makes tents of all sizes, but we’ve found larger family camping tents to be their forte. We love the center height, at 7 feet and with a cabin design, it creates these huge interiors that feel like a house when you’re inside. Then when you’re inside its got a ton of cool features that help group camping and support the extra gear you’ll be taking. So the walls are steep and straight and the peak height along the main axes is 78 inches .
