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. We think this is the biggest standout in relation to how different this model is to others on the market.
You never know what kind of weather you may encounter but try not to pitch it if you know it will rain. Even so, the roof openings have hoods over them, so there’s no easy way for water to leak through. A lot of gazebos on the market, soft tops and hard tops, can take an hour or more to pitch which can be a big downfall when you want something quick and easy.
It features built-in vents on the top for added ventilation and offers you 50+ UV protection from the hot sun all day long. We love this feature because it won’t nip at your fingers and you can do one leg at a time. With the constant movement of the sun throughout the day, it’s nice to know that you can easily adapt the height to maintain shade underneath. You’re also getting 3 height options, so you’re not limited in the elevation that you need.
There’s no complicated insertion of poles and we love how it’s well-designed to be completely hassle-free. This makes it the perfect solution for anyone looking to stay safe in the sun, whether you’re spending a day at the beach or hiking in the mountains. The Ozark Trail Sun Wall is specifically designed to protect people from the harmful Ultraviolet rays of the sun. With a UP 50+ rating, it has been tested and proven to block out the majority of UV radiation. Benzene has been used in the manufacturing of this product to meet CPAI-84 fabric fire retardant standards for the tent and canopy industries.
There may not be many bells and whistles, but we don’t think it’s necessary here. With 100ft² of ground space, multiple people can stand or Ozark Trail Sleeping Bags 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 is no information about a waterproof column, so it doesn’t seem waterproof. This means it can repel a very small amount of rainfall, like light precipitation. For those extra scorching hot days, the peak roof vent creates additional ventilation. It also helps to prevent it from easily blowing away, seeing as the wind doesn’t get caught on the large volume of fabric. 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. It can stand on its own, but we always recommend that you lock it down, so it has no chance of blowing away.
You’ll find orange buttons on each leg that are quite large so that you can effortlessly press them and move the poles up and down. This model follows a simple 3 step process, which is common among many instant editions. It’s a matter of unpacking, unfolding, and extending the legs to your desired height.
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.
