We explore the lightweight beach canopy that's powered by the wind to see if its worth its hefty price tag. So, for those of you who are enticed by the cheap prices of slant leg canopies, we’re here to warn you to not waste your money - even if it only costs you $75 or $100. Unfortunately — and inexplicably — one of the steel support poles bent while I was assembling the tent. This was a surprising result (I’m not that strong) and suggests that the materials used to create this tent are not especially good quality, despite the higher price point of this tent. In addition to packed size, assembled size, ease of set up, and weather protection, I also considered each tent’s price when making a final determination.

When shopping for a camping chair, it's best to keep in mind your specific preferences and needs. Another important factor to think about is the terrain (grass, dirt, concrete, etc.) on which you'll be using your chair. If you're headed outdoors this summer, having just the right camping chair to bring along could be just what you need. Floating Treetops Aerial Park – Look right and prepare to be amazed! It is made with a steel construction frame and polyester material for the canopy, which is in line with just about every shade tent on the market today. The frame is that of a pyramid structure, which are generally found in all value brand canopy tents as they require less material to manufacture vs. that of a full truss system and as a result can keep the price lower. Slant leg canopy tents are cheaper than straight leg tents because they use less material. Ultimately, I wasn’t as impressed by the 10-person tents that I tested for this story as I was by the 8-person tents or the 6-person tents. Unless you truly need this much space, I would strongly recommend you opt for something smaller made with higher quality nylon and steel poles. But if you have a big family then a 10-person tent can absolutely be a cozy way to enjoy the long weekend. So, right off the bat, you’re saving money because there is less soft goods material. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with the quality of the 10-person tents that I looked at. All were made from less robust materials, including fiberglass poles. This helps to keep the cost of the product down but makes for a less reliable product in the long run. If you can, I’d recommend opting for one of the best 6-person tents or one of the best 8-person tents. It's worth highlighting that despite the advertised dimensions of the 10x10 Ozark Trail, because this is a slant leg shelter the top only measures 8x8. Keep this tent in your arsenal for when you know there will be clear skies on your camping weekend. The rainfly provided sufficient coverage, and there were a reasonable number of windows and doors, which also helps to prevent water incursion. There were even some different style stakes provided which hold better in soft ground (like we had around our testing site), a detail I appreciated. The Wenzel Pinyon was the only 10-person tent in my test that didn’t break or leak in the rain, which makes it the only real winner in my test. There are three crisscrossing poles at the top that form the room of the tent. From there you bend down each end and connect the poles that form the side walls to the floor. In practice this took more elbow grease than I was expecting, to the point that I worried the fiberglass poles would break (they did not).
