If and when I buy a new tent, I will go with Ozark again, and will not buy it from walmart….if you watch a doc. Called “Walmart, the high cost of ozark trail wall tent low prices” it will explain to you why the product there is so cheap. When you buy anything from Walmart it is made cheap so it can sell for cheap.
Cotton can be maintained relatively easily with some water-repellent treatment. It is not something you have to do every year but instead can just be applied when you notice any spots where water doesn’t bead off like it used to. Also, any repairs can easily be made with a needle and thread without special glues or siliconized patches. So I called the company requesting new poles and a month later I have yet to see my new poles. I will not ever purchase from this company again. Again, I AM a soldier with nearly 30 years experience in putting tents together.
This tent leaked water more than i had ever seen. I will never buy an Ozark Trail tent in my life and I will tell everyone I know that if they buy one what to expect. And that is you will never be dry in one because they suck bad.

We must have had some wind but not tornado force/ hurricane force winds. I just wish who I need to contact to get a new tent shell and two end poles that are made of sturdy material would contact me and make good of it. We have never been able to sleep in it and makes a poor storage room.
Instead, you need to consider how the seams are sealed, whether it requires waterproofing, and if so, how often and with what product. In addition, you should imagine how snow settles on the roof and understand whether the groundsheet is floating (not attached to the walls) or sewn in with bathtub edges. A wall tent is shaped like a rectangle or square box with a pitched roof. The side walls are usually around four to five feet tall and at a vertical or near-vertical angle for maximum space and durability. They are called wall tents because the straight sides they have to provide a flat wall as opposed to bell tents or dome tents, which are either curved or don’t have vertical walls.
