Eureka Tetragon 9 Tent Review

Eureka Tetragon 9 Tent Review
With floor dimensions of 9 feet by 9 feet, the Eureka Tetragon is designed for whole families. Able to hold up to five campers, the Tetragon has an interior height of 6 feet, leaving plenty of room for movement. The Tetragon packs down efficiently into an 8 inch by 28 inch package. Packed, the tent weighs 11 pounds, 10 ounces. The Tetragon sets up easily, requiring only two poles. The tent also comes with a full coverage rain-fly made of Stormshield polyester.

Perks

The Tetragon is all about ease-of-use and plenty of room. The 6 feet of interior space is downright decadent, while the square floor plan allows for maximum usability. The tent also has a number of thoughtful design features, including a ceiling storage loft and clips for flashlights.

Sacrifices

The mesh windows in the Tetragon are nice, but there is no way to zip them over, making the Tetragon a poor insulator in cold weather. While the rain-fly is effective, the tent can leak at seams and in driving rain.

Bottom Line

As long as you aren't looking to take it backpacking or winter camping the Tetragon 9 is a great all-around choice. Roomy enough for large families, you won't have to worry about cramped conditions in Eureka's Tetragon 9.
