Ozark Trail 10 Person 2 Room Straight Wall Family Cabin Tent

Back Door or Back Window – You get to choose between having another door, which mirrors the front, or a 30″ x 30″ screened back window. Steel D-Rings Along Eaves – The d-rings are featured every 3′. This is a much stronger system than tents with metal grommets pressed into the eaves.

Next night still calm, took cover off and loved looking up at the night sky. Let me just tell you this, it doesn’t make a difference what model your tent is. The main thing is is that the zippers that you put in these tents are so substandard that it doesn’t last more than one or two camping trips. You set a new low in tents and the damn zippers you put in them.

Finally, the material of this shelter is noticeably higher quality than many Ozark Trail tents, but the 68D polyester is still not as thick as we’d like. No Ozark Trail tent is perfect, but as far as full-size family camping tents go, this is the one to beat. Protection from the sun is another thing you don’t have to worry about in a canvas ozark trail canopy wall tent, as the thick woven fabric provides total UV protection and some cooling shade below. The main concern with sun exposure is that over time this can weather any canvas by stretching when it is wet and shrinking as it gets hot. Most canvas tents have a UV treatment to help your tent last longer and not suffer from UV stress.

There was a breeze so I put bricks around the edge, and the rain tarp didn’t cover the whole of the window like it was supposed to, but that was it was a little hard to set up so it was understandable. It worked well that night and I got some rain in but nothing serious. Now a few years later I erected it in the backyard just for fun. It is an Ozark Trail Dome Tent that is a 4-person tent.

This means that on a hot night, you can leave the main entrance open with the bug netting closed to let air in and out. This tent seems to be built with winter in mind and has excellent insulative properties for a single-layer tent. The material is made from 100% army DYNADUCK cotton that has a high-density weave that is highly resistant to mildew and has a treatment that swells when wet so that it remains waterproof for many years. One unique feature we learned about was that its tie-down lines have suspension elastic at the top, significantly reducing the chance of ripped fabric. Storm Flap on Door – This is an 8″ canvas flap with buckles that protects the zippers on your door. The storm flap helps keep the wind out of your tent and protects your zipper from snow and ice.

Layout wise is virtually identical to the Core Instant Cabin we evaluated for our 10 person tent roundup, but delivers those same massive interior dimensions for about $100 less. Each of the cabin’s three rooms includes its own privacy divider, and each is large enough to fit a queen-sized mattress as well, so it’s a great option for large groups or families. Other perks of the Three Room Instant Cabin include an instant tent design with pre-attached poles for easy set-up and dual ground-level vents designed to work with a tent air conditioner. My family and I have used it a total of 3 times and the seams have ripped.

That’s plenty of room for two queen mattresses with room left over for some chairs, a cooler, and a camp table. Speaking of camp tables Ozark Trail actually includes a small table with this shelter, which mounts at the base of the main support pole to make the most of the tent’s interior space. This screened-in shelter also gets high points for its price, which is always a selling point with an Ozark Trail tent, but this one represents a particularly good value considering all its features.

Fire Treated Canvas – Fire treatment disallows the spread of an open flame. Required on all tents shipped to New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, Michigan, Massachusetts, California, Louisiana and Canada. This feature is highly recommended if you are using a stove within your tent. Upgrade your camping trip with this single layer luxury all-season 12X10ft Outfitter Wall Tent from Ozark Trail.

The tent is also very tall with its peak height of 86 inches (218 cm), so this is a good reason to include it in my list of very tall family camping tents. Wall tents may be the most practical tent style in some regards and not so much in others. They are practical shelters in almost every way but not so practical to transport on foot. Poly-cotton canvas is a blend of polyester and cotton, which is kind of like a hybrid that aims to take the best of both worlds.

Not sure what season our tents were but, we had to get 4 of them. The first time I got it set up was about that same day. I’m going to Coleman for now on because you are incapable of making a zipper that doesn’t break so damn easy on the door. Wall ozark tent tents are used alongside tepees and bell tents for special occasions like weddings and parties. They arguably provide the most headspace of all tents, so for events where people are standing up and chatting or dancing, there is nothing better.
