Thank you OZARK for making camping nights with small children just a little more difficult!!!! Good thing we are all troopers and we didn’t let your HORRIBLE product ruin our trip. When you buy anything from Walmart it is made cheap so it can sell for cheap. I received my Ozark tent from my grandparents, which I used 9 years ago when we went camping with them. 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.
Yes, I had to tape the tent poles together at night because the snaps failed miserably when the wind blew gently and caused the tent to completely collapse… in great weather, with little wind, and no rain. I have been camping all of my life and I know camping gear. 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. The most popular product in their line is the 10×10 Instant Slant Leg Tent with a blue canopy top.
Buy a couple of tarps…because you will need them.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 low prices” it will explain to you why the product there is so cheap. I have pitched the tent ozark trail wagon twice in my back yard and found that I could pitch it by myself in about one hour. I watersealed the seams, as per the instruction sheet inside the carrying bag but I have not been rained on yet. Overall this is a wonderful tent that has held up well to many years of family camping.
We assembled and disassembled the tents on all of our testing sites multiple times. We tried the rain fly for each tent as well, one time rushing to get several of them up during an unexpected rainstorm at night. When heavy trade winds buffeted our Oahu-coast testing site, we pitched each tent in full face of the blast. We then rotated the tents looking for structural weaknesses, and we tested their guy lines and tabs to see which tents had the best and most intuitive design for withstanding wind. It’s natural to focus on the quality of a tent’s rain fly—you need that piece to work when the skies open up.
Easy to set up and pack away, the Mineral King 3 is a lightweight, two-door tent with a generous footprint and a sturdy dome shape. It’s the perfect choice for three-season multipurpose camping. DB cannot hold items past the ozark trail chair 4-day pickup window (Even ozark trail chair if customers go to the wrong Pickup Center). The first time I got it set up was about that same day. This year, The National Retail Federation has reported that consumers are expected to spend an average of $90 on food items for Fourth of July celebrations.
