#EUREKA TETRAGON 1210 TENT WINDOWS#

I’ve had knee surgeries since acquiring that last tent, and while the dome did allow us to stand up in the middle, that was also where the bed was, so I wanted something with a larger floor area AND something with enough height to stand in most of the tent. I wanted something that could be divided into two rooms, and we really needed a larger space than our prior 9’x 9′ Coleman dome that I’ve had for about 15 years. I looked at a LOT of tents before our family’s most recent camping trip. It is poorly designed, made of cheap materials, included many errors in manufacture. I had a Eureka backpacking tent (the Caddis, for those of you “experienced” enough to remember) That I used often for 15 years before passing it on to a friend in worn, but usable condition when I bought a lighter tent. In what I would estimate to be a 20 to 25 MPH wind, the fly disintegrated. The shock cord pulled through the ferrule on the end of one of the poles.ģ. The gear loft could not be used because one of the tie points was missing.Ģ.

Here’s what went wrong in the two weeks I had this tent before I sent it back:ġ. That would be understandable if it were a backpacking tent. The longer story: This tent is made of very light-weight material. Not up to the quality standards that Eureka maintained in years past. The short story: Poorly designed and executed. It is relatively light compared to rest of the tents in this size. The rain fly directions are not the best but it’ll take only 1 try to get it down. But it is very to set it up with or without directions. Due to size and height of the tent, it does require two people to get it up. The setup and tear down time is very good. I do suggest tarp under all tents so that it doesn’t tear and get dirty/muddy but the quality of this tent is unquestionably very high. This in my mind was the ultimate test of water proofing. It got a bit ‘damp’ on areas where the mud was being pressed on the floor but NO WATER got in. During the rain, I could feel the water puddles right under the tent (I didn’t even have a tarp under the tent) all night long but NONE of that seeped in.

#EUREKA TETRAGON 1210 TENT WINDOWS#

You can keep the windows open a bit for ventilation even with lotta rain, esp since there are windows on all 4 sides, so you can find a side away from wind direction. There is a nice equipment loft that is very useful and a great idea.įirst night I used this tent, we got a huge storm hit us. Windows can be rolled up and tucked with the hooks. Both are easily usable and well built, strong and not leaky. Its huge, with a partition, well placed windows and doors. There is Nothing Wrong with this tent.This is a great tent for that is applicable for lot of settings.
