Eureka Tetragon CustomerReview
Preparation before first use:br /When I first got the tent, I applied seam sealant to all seams and sprayed all exteriors of the tent and rain fly with Sno-Seal water repellent. Then, I cut up a piece of truck tarp from Wal-Mart and made it 4 inches smaller on each side so water won’t pool under the tent between the ground cover.br /br /Pitching the tent:br /The tent was easy to set up and I can do it for the first time (including putting up the rain fly) well under 10 minutes. Only complain is that I have problem knowing which side (the vestibule side or the window side). It’s harder than you think to figure it out if you’re in the dark and it’s roll up. The fix is easy, I just took a sharpie and labeled at the brims on each side and near the hooks. I also labeled the bottom of the tent so when I unroll it I would immediately know which side is the window and which side is the door. That is very important for setting up a tent. br /br /I have also pitched the tent under constant sea breeze on the a beach and at a RV park and at my backyard in near total darkness. I have no trouble setting it up in any of the above situations. However, a second person would be helpful for pitching and folding it up under high wind.br /br /After that, I set the tent up for the first time on grass at my lawn for one night. There were no rain and it was comfortable. The steel stake provided worked well but it’s heavy and the head bended after I mallet the stacks into the ground (due to my “rocky” lawn). I would recommend getting the MSR groundhog aluminum stakes.br /br /Sleeping in it:br /Then I put it on my wooden deck and started to sleep in it. The tent was tied down to the deck with some nylon cords. I purposefully experience a thunderstorm in it with good deal of wind (10-20mph appr.) and the tent stood tall. There are some splashes of water in the tent but you expect that and it’s also my fault as the rainfly was at too shallow of an angle so it exposed too much of the meshed sides. The rainfly should be no more than 8 inches above the ground (see the user poset picture I have posted).br /br /I slept in it on a cool summer night where the temperature reached around 50F. There are slight amount of condensations on the inside at the lower section of the side that I slept. That was rather inevitable but the water dries up with a couple wipes with my towel.br /br /Creature comforts/ergonomics:br /The mesh tent top organizer is great for keeping loose things together. There are also two extra mesh pockets provides other storage possibilities.br /br /The window and door is quite generous in size and allows good air circulation. Even with the rain fly on, I can take a very comfortable nap inside the tent in the middle of the day near the beach. br /br /I am a small person (5′ 5″) and for me any tent is probably enough space so I can’t comment on the roominess of it for most people. It’s enough for me. It’s 2 person tent but I used all the space for the second person for 2 backpacks and my camera bag.br /br /Other comments:br /It packs into a pretty small package and transport easily for car camping purpose. br /br /The fiberglass poles are light weight and easy to clean.
