Breathability and Ventilation
The Ozark Trail 7-Person Trail Cabin Tent features four windows and three vents for ventilation, as well as a mesh bug net over all of the windows. The door does not have a bug net over it. However, for added ventilation, the door can be rolled up and held open by a ring found on the side of the door.
There are three vents found at the top of the tent. The vents help keep the air circulating, so everyone stays cool and comfortable.
Weather Resistance
The Ozark Trail 7-Person Family Cabin Tent’s windows do well in light rain and wind. However, it is not entirely waterproof unless you put a tarp over the top of the tent. The tarp is not included with the tent.
The windows of the tent zip up to provide extra privacy and protection from the rain, and the seams are factory sealed to prevent leaks. The flap over the door’s edge helps keep the rain out.
The tent does not offer floor vents, so it is recommended to bring a tarp to place under the tent to protect from moisture and help with weather resistance.
Durability
The Ozark Trail 7-Person Family Cabin Tent is made of strong, mildew-resistant material.
The tent offers a sewn-in PE floor for extra durability. A floor sewn into the bottom of a tent is essential for two main reasons: warmth and comfort. A floorless tent may be lighter weight, but it offers little benefit. Sewn-in floors also provide an extra layer of protection from the elements, keeping you dry in wet weather and providing a measure of insulation in cold weather.
The tent’s body fabric is made of 185t poly taffeta for water and mildew-resistant finish. Poly taffeta is known for its durability and long lifespan.
The mesh fabric covering the windows is made of 68d polyester, which is extremely strong and durable. The material is also UV resistant, so it will not fade easily in the sun. Additionally, the mesh is breathable, which will help keep you cool in the summer heat.
The Ozark Trail 7-Person Family Cabin tent comes with 6 guy ropes and 13 steel stakes that provide structural support for the tent.
Ease of Use
The Ozark Trail 7-Person Family Cabin Tent is an excellent option for larger families or groups of friends. It has an average setup time of 10 minutes. The easy-to-follow instructions make this tent easy to set up.
The tent has an internal frame that is made from steel. The frame is solid, durable, and lightweight, making it easy to carry. The frame consists of two poles that connect to an inverted y at the top of the tent. The poles are set up between the 2 windows on either side and held together by 2 velcro straps. The poles telescope out and then lock into place.
Packed Size and Weight
With a packed size of 27.5″ x 7″ x 8.75″ (70 x 18 x 22 cm), the Ozark Trail 7-Person Family Cabin tent is small enough to transport easily. The carry weight of 13.71 pounds (6.2 kg) is also manageable, even for longer camping trips.
The Ozark Trail 7-Person Family Cabin Tent is a great tent for camping with family or friends. It has a large footprint and can comfortably sleep up to seven people. The tent is also tall, so there is plenty of headroom for everyone.
The Ozark Trail 12’x12′ 7-Person Instant Tepee Tent is another great option for camping with a larger group. It has a similar footprint to the Ozark 7-Person tent but is taller, providing even more headroom.
