 leaking even during a light raing Aug 28, 2008
I had a small Eureka tent for about 10 years and it was great. Just weeks ago I bought the Tetragon 1210 and went for a camping trip. It was leaking water even during light rain. Probably through a place where the zippers meet in a corner. I wrote to Eureka, but got no response. When I called the customer service, theý were not really friendly ant told me, that even when I had the tent for 2 weeks, the zippers are not covered through the warranty and I have to pay for their replacement, which will take several weeks. Surprisingly the person did not realy care,'that their tent with advertised storm shield is leaking.
 Great Family Tent Aug 04, 2008
This is a great family tent! We had two adults, one toddler and one infant (in a Pack'n'Play) in this tent - and still had room for all of our stuff. LOTS of ventilation, which is great for warmer weather. We did seal the tent - and had no leaks during a huge storm. It's nice being able to stand up in the center - and the kids love all of the room!
The only complaint is that the zippers are a bit tough to operate as there is an extra flap on the zipper to keep out the water/rain. We were able to get past it, but it's the only reason I didn't give this a 5 out of 5.

rainy weekend Jun 15, 2008
We just got our Eureka Tetragon 1210 tent. This is our third Eureka tent and we still use all three. My life has changed through the years, from a married couple who loves to backpack, to a family of four (with two girls who love the outdoors. Thank God!). This past weekend was a great test for our newest edition to our camping gear. It rained and rained and rained a lot more. As expected the Tetragon 1210 performed very well. I sealed the two floor seams very well and had no leaks at all. We did experience some wet areas on the floor this happened through absorbtion (it was my mistake, the tarp I used as a drop cloth was hanging over the edge, which captured the rain water and ran it under the tent where it collected at the lowest point. This is where some absorption occured(not a lot though, just some dampness) Great tent, I always trust the Eureka name!!!

 Looks great! Jun 09, 2008
Bought tent during a sale and put it to good use on a recent trip.
Nice size, we used one queen size air bed and 3 others slept on the floor with plenty of room. Two queen sized beds should fit side by side, making for an ideal family of 4 tent.
Tent itself is easy to put together, similar to the Eureka branded 9 x 9 that I already own.. just a lot bigger. The rain fly is tricky, instructions should have had one more step and photo to show that the rod ends fit into the metal grommets.
My previous Eureka tent has done well in rain (with seam sealer used), I expect the same results with this model.
This model has a storage loft, would be great to use during a longer trip. Privacy curtain is easy to install if you choose, the doors are positioned to allow entrance / exit per side which would be handy for families to use. Allowing children to bed down and parents enter the tent later without disturbing the sleepers.
I like Eureka tents and find they are worth the extra expense. My first Eureka tent has been used every season for the past 8 years and still looks great!

Great Tent. Easy to Setup Jun 07, 2008
I spent a lot of time researching tents before I purchased this tent. We didn't have time to set it up before camping, but it only took two of us about 20 minutes to fully setup the tent without using the directions. The height inside was perfect for my husband (6'0") to stand up inside. I really liked that there are windows on all four sides and the ceiling is screen. It kept the tent cool during the day. The only downfall to the large screened ceiling and the awnings is that at night, it was pretty cold and you could feel the wind blowing in the tent. Of course the temperatures dropped to about 40 degrees. It's probably a better summer tent when the temps are higher at night. The tent has lots of pockets to store things in and keep them off the floor. I took someone's advise and purchased a 16x12 tarp to put underneath it and it left a nice size "floor" in front of the tent to keep down the sand in the tent. Overall, I am very pleased with this tent...and all our friends were jealous of it. However, I have not yet camped with it in the rain.
