Eureka Tetragon 9 Family Camping Tent
By Linda from Albany, NY on June 23, 2011
Easy to put up and strike with two people (as long as one of them can reach the center top from the outside - remember the interior is 6'). I use a ground cloth but it probably would not need one if the weather is dry. Despite the illustration, there is a door for privacy. Good cross-ventilation.
Pros:
Plenty of space, which we need. Works well for a tall person.
Cons:
Plastic stakes. I plan to replace them
If the flaps in front are staked out it is very easy to trip over them. Also, they're too narrow to provide much shelter.
My older Eureka tent provided separate bags for stakes, fly, and poles, which this one does not.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Great Tent
