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. Instructions are sewn into the carry bag and can also be downloaded from the Manuals & Guides section below. Adventure is where memories are made, whether it's campouts in the backyard with the kids, Saturdays at the river with friends, or a week in the wilderness alone. Ozark Trail helps you and your family create everyday adventures with gear and accessories built with you in mind. It features four walls to allow for greater weather resistance. One wall has a zipper in the center that can be used for easy entry and exit. The 10' x 10' instant canopy covers a large area, making it ideal for accommodating large groups of people at one time. A push-button on the frame allows it to lock safely into place. It also includes a holder that can be used to support a banner. It can stand on its own, but we always recommend that you lock it down, so it has no chance of blowing away. The feet areas of the legs are also something to mention, as they are shaped like pads instead of a simple pole. This adds to the stability as the weight is more evenly spread. Even so, the roof openings have hoods over them, so there’s no easy way for water to leak through. It would probably only protect against light rainfall as the materials aren’t specifically made for moderate or heavy moisture levels. We think you should use a waterproof spray, that you can find at many retailers, just to be safe. The first is to generate an element of airflow when you’re standing underneath. Yes, it is a completely exposed structure with open walls, but when the hot rays of the sun are beating down, it makes things more comfortable when you have a concentrated breeze flowing through.
