Ozark Trail Tents

[Patti]

Anyone familiar with this brand of tent?

I'm just looking for a 2-3 or 3-4 person tent

but don't want to spend alot. This is a

brand they carry at Walmart.

I know a few folks that have them. They seem pretty nice. Set up and take down pretty quick. No complaints of leaking that I know of. I would not hesitate to buy one.

Not sure about them. Walmart's home brand I think.

If you get one, seal the seams really good.

How often do you plan on using it? Sun is something that can also do a number on tent fabric. Cheaper tents don't resist the uv damage as well.

If you don't like it, Walmart will take it back.

Thanks for your opinions. I think I'll go buy it.

Probably only one more trip this year anyway.

Not like I'm going to be using it for

winter camping.

Let us know what you think of it once you use it.

It might already have the seams sealed. A lot of them do that now.

[Patti]

And if I don't know if they're sealed? Should I just in case?

And if so, how? Looks like there may be rain this weekend.

I would definitely buy a can of seam seal and spray all seams

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

The seam sealer I've used works like a big marker. You just apply it to the seams.

The sprays are not a seam sealer. They add waterproofing to the fabric. You shouldn't need to do this with a new tent, but one that is older may benefit by it.

And I could get seam sealer somewhere like Gander? or REI? or??? Is it specifically for tents?

I have an Ozark Trail tent and love it. I've used it for a number of years, in rain, and never had any problems. It sets up super easy and has lots of unique little features. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Well there you go! I say go buy it and enjoy this great weather!

Oh ya, Walmart should have seam sealer in the camping dept. Otherwise, Gander, Fleet Farm, REI - they all carry it.

Patti, did you get the tent? Have you used it yet?
