I decided that for the $40 I spent on it, (knowing that ozark trail canopy you get what you pay for) I would sew the gap and seal it really well and get a thicker gage replacement pole for the fly. It comes loose easily enough but over time this has put lots of little holes in that flap. We weighted 5 prime ozark trail canopy 10 x 10 bargains over the past 3 years.
I really liked the way it looked and the space but will not be able to use it due to the leaks. I am preparing for a camping trip of 10 days and nights down in Florida where it rains a lot and the wind sometimes is pretty strong so I am wondering if the fly will stay put. There is a large space between it and the top of the tent that might be a trap for strong wind so the fly gets ripped off. I think I will go shopping this week for another tent that I feel better about. Otherwise I like the tent but do not trust it to hold up in severe conditions. I have been camping all of my life and I know camping gear.
Rain fly is too big — it needs one side cut differently to allow to get in and out of the tent. It needs a little bit bigger bag for storage. They claim they are weather tested, but I feel they don’t include rain or wind as elements of the weather. We have never been able to sleep in it and makes a poor storage room. I am 67 yrs old and have used Ozark Trail tents ozark trail chair for years, but this covered screen dome turned out NOT TO BE A TENT. I would not even think of unloading it on my worst enemy.
This is just to let you know of my background and my knowledge. Your tents are not even good for more than two or three camping trips before the 10 has to be replaced because of your substandard zippers you put on the front door. I have had them break while pulling on them. The Ozark Trail 10-Person Modified Dome Tent offers a spacious, versatile, and weather-resistant design, perfect for family camping adventures. Featuring a large screen porch and easy setup, this tent provides comfort and convenience for outdoor enthusiasts.
The fly is so small it allows rain to blow up under and then runs into the tent. I had bought this tent thinking it was going to be dry, man was I wrong. This tent leaked water more than i had ever seen.
You set a new low in tents and the damn zippers you put in them. What are they plastic or made out of pewter.And before you guys cop an attitude, I have been camping since I was at least 4 years old and I am now in my mid-50s. 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. I just bought the 9’x7′ backpacking tent 2 days ago, because I want to do some bikepacking here in FL.
