Then known as the Eureka Tent Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products--most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen--as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.p The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company’s annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.p In 1960, Eureka’s new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.p For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary.p Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.p]

Wenzel Ponderosa 10- by 8-Foot Four-Person Two-Room Dome Tent Specifications

Great for hiking and biking trips, the Ponderosa two-room tent is lightweight enough at 10.8 pounds to carry on a backpack or saddle bags yet spacious enough to sleep four people at once. The tent base measures 10 feet by 8 feet, with a height in the center of 60 inches–more than enough space for an informal game of cards at midnight. The removable divider curtain, meanwhile, adds a bit of privacy in crowded conditions. Construction details range from a shock-corded fiberglass frame with a pin and ring connection to a weather-armor polyester fabric with a polyurethane coating. The frame is designed for quick and easy setup–a far cry from the clunky frames of yesteryear–while the coated fabric is reliable and sturdy regardless of the weather. p And should the rains come pouring down, the tent’s armor-tough seams and water-repellent threads, zippers, and webbing stand ready to resist. The tent even includes sonic-sealed floors that are welded (not sewn) to eliminate stitch and needle holes, ensuring that water from rain-soaked dirt won’t sneak in. Additional details include three windows (two in the front and one in the rear), Dutch D-style doors for easy entry from either side of the tent, and four mesh roof vents for circulation and moisture control. The Ponderosa is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.pstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p

I did my research and found this tent would fit my needs perfectly. i was going to take my 2 daughters camping and needed some room for them and their junk. Tent came super fast and box wasnt as big as i thought it would be. Perfect because i have to carry everything myself.br /br / I didnt get a chance to pre-assemble it because i live in an apartment and its way to big to set up in my living room. I read the instructions and it seemed pretty simple. When it came time to put it up, i was going to have only my 8yr old help me out !br /br / Day of camping I first put a tarp under the tent just in case of leaks or rain. Tent was a breeze setting up. Daughter only had to help hold the 2 poles while i attached them at the bottom clips. Only took about 40 minutes to get it up,and that was taking my time so I could let my daughter “help”. br /br /The tent was pretty roomy. Came with super zippers that can open/close the doors halfway, partway, sideways, upside-down!! really kewl. It also came with little pouches to put your needed stuff in easy to find spots. there was even a storage at the top of the tent for hmm my bread!! great so it didnt get smashed.br /Size of the inside was big enough for a queen sized inflatable bed and a twin sized futon (i wanted something soft to sleep on!) Tons of room for all the gear along the sides.br /br /It didnt rain so I didnt get to see if it was watertight. I bought the seam sealers but didnt use them because i didnt have time to air it out afterwards. But it seemed pretty well made.br /br /Only negatives i found were the outside “flap/cover/thingy” sits a bit too snug against the roof so there wasnt that much ventilation and the door started a few inches above the ground so u have to be careful not to trip on it coming in or out. And in the morning, the dew got the insides near the bottom wet so dont put your stuff too close to the sides. I had no clue it would be soo cold!! Guess even in Hawaii its cold in the mornings! Ooo, forgot to add, id replace the tent spikes because the thin metal ones didnt really hold in the ground that well. I bought some cheap ones made out of plastic at walmart for few bucks.br /br /Taking the tent down was a super breeze, and it even fit back in the original zipper bag with no problems. I even got it back in the original box!!br /br /overall: awesome tent!! it was perfect and my daughters loved it! Ill have to take them camping again!!br /

I enjoy car camping with my tent. It is quite roomy on the inside, and I like that the sides extend out a little. Makes it feel more roomy. It’s got good ventilation. My crazy dogs (labs and a mutt) have not poked any holes in the bottom of the tent yet, nor have any sticks. It is durable construction. I’ve had it for a couple years now, used it numerous times. Haven’t had any problems yet. It keeps water out just fine, and there is enough room for a big air mattress, a dog bed, and my backpack. It packs down to a good size for car camping too.

We bought this tent as a replacement to our older tent, and we took it out on its inaugural camping trip this weekend. Of the three day trip, only one day was wet and rainy. Although unpleasant, I’m glad it rained that day because we now know that this tent MUST be water sealed before our next trip.br /br /I’ve had a lot of car camping experience, and I’ve purchased Wenzel products in the past. The layout and size of this tent were consistent with what I was used to. The roomy interior, ample ventilation and ease of assembly were definite positives. There is more than enough room for two adults with large sleeping bags. There’s an inside pocket for storing lightweight items, and there’s a mesh net that can be hooked on the top of the tent for more storage. Basically, this tent was what I expected–low-frills, easy set-up, comfortable and roomy.br /br /Unfortunately, we didn’t waterproof or seal the seams before our excursion. Big mistake! Trust me, take the time before your trip to purchase and administer the sealant and waterproofer. Trust me. The third day of our trip, it rained constantly from sunrise until roughly 4 p.m. The rain was heavy and steady, and for a while, the tent held up nicely. Eventually, though, the material became saturated with water and began to leak. (We put a tarp down under the tent, so we didn’t encounter any problems with seepage.) Had we taken the time to prepare the tent beforehand, I don’t think we would have run into this problem. br /br /I’m not holding the tent accountable for our laziness, which is why I’m giving it an overall score of 4.
