The Dark Room Technology used in its design is really what adds that extra level of comfort to this 10 person tent. This provides roughly 14 square feet of space per Ozark Trail Camping Chairs person if you do put 10 people inside. The rain fly also has a total of six guy lines to help provide extra stability if you’re expecting high winds overnight.

It’s a great way of making camping culture a little more affordable and accessible for anyone interested in trying it out. Four total windows are adjustable from the inside of the tent. They’re double-zippered, and it’s just a matter of rolling them up and stowing them away to enjoy a breeze or take Ozark Trail Canopies in a view in the morning. Also, a rear window accessed from the outside can be staked out into a small awning that protects the tent’s interior if you need a little extra air when it’s raining. The front door runs nearly the tent’s entire height, and an additional bug net door mirrors it exactly.

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. They claim they are weather tested, but I feel they don’t include rain or wind as elements of the weather. I could make a better shelter out of cardboard boxes and scotchgard.

In perfect conditions, dry with a predictable and steady breeze, you can have the door, the windows, and the rear awning of the tent open completely. Working together with the three vents at the peak of the tent, you’ll have absolutely no issues with moisture buildup. At that point, it’s less of a tent and more of a screened-in porch for warm, comfortable nights. The easiest models to pitch are pretty much always “instant tent” shelters, which use a system of preattached poles than only need to be unfolded and locked into place. The one exception to the rule here is for the larger cabin-style tents, especially those with an “instant tent” design that uses pre-attached poles.

This tent is ok…I bought with the money that I had saved up and I really wanted a cool looking tent. I think that this 35 dollar tent could outlast the expensive ones. Mine is red and black and the rainfly covers everything except for a tiny place to get in.
