In the early 1900s, a Christian minister wandered into the Ozark hills, looking for better health, and found a community that would change his future. In the low-cost range of outdoor shelters, the Ozark 10ft x 10ft Trail Canopy is definitely at the top in its class. There may not be many bells and whistles, but we don’t think it’s necessary here. Although you might think that you can’t get overheated underneath an already open structure, if lots of people are standing inside and if the outside temperature is boiling then things can get hot. To prevent any build-up of humidity or stuffiness, these openings suck in air whilst also letting hot air rise and escape. For adjusting the height of this model, there is a push switch system that is designed to make things as easy as possible for the user. In windy conditions high stress is applied to each side and the frame begins to break down at the unreinforced joint connectors. In a sheer stroke of luck for this test, we are having a very aggressive heatwave in Southeast Michigan with temperatures around the 90’s during the day and staying in the 70’s overnight. I’m using my North facing deck as the staging area which receives direct sunlight at almost all hours of the day. I also placed  a small weather system on the deck rail to help get a sense of how hot surface temperatures are in the area. Its versatile design allows it to be divided into three separate rooms or used as one large area. Easy setup is ensured with color-coded poles and pin & ring frame attachment. Additionally, the tent is weather-resistant with a removable rainfly and taped seams for protection against the elements. Overall, we think the Ozark Trail canopy serves its intended purpose - a value brand 10x10 instant shelter that caters to price conscious consumers looking for an affordable shade option. And compared to some of the tents in the EZ-Up lineup, it sells for almost a 70% discount. To our dismay when we fist set it up two of the truss support brackets broke. They are just made out of cheap aluminum and it appears they break very easy. If you find yourself with a damaged or missing part after the six-month manufacturer warranty period, there are a variety of vendors from whom you can order Ozark trail canopy replacement parts. While we share insights and celebrate the adventures that outdoor gear like Ozark Trail can offer, our site is independently run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. When comparing the Walmart Ozark Trail vs Yeti brands, you basically need to consider the cost and whether having a “brand name” is worth the extra money. It seems to be the same quality tumbler as more expensive competitors; you just aren’t paying for the Ozark Trail, Yeti or RTIC name. Like the Ozark Trail 45 Qt Rolling Thermocooler, the Pelican 45QW Elite Wheeled Cooler includes a lid with inch notches and also includes centimeters for those outside of the United States. Similar to the Ozark Trail cooler, the Pelican features orange wheel rims and also has orange clasp accents. You can get this cooler in three colors, Tan which is featured here, as well as graphite and white. The legs extend to give the top peak a height of about 8'10" which will be plenty of headroom for anyone underneath. I’ll be totally honest, I was not expecting this cooler to be as nice as it was. It’s easy to get caught up in brand perception and often times very difficult to break away from what you think you know about a brand. I used the word “think” intentionally, because what I thought I knew about Ozark Trail was not correct.
