Eureka Tetragon HD 5 Person Dome Tent Review

The Tetragon HD 5 has one window and one door and a peak center height of 6' 0, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 30 other 5 person tents we have studied. With 81 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 5-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to four other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents similar to this one are a very good choice for people who enjoy spending heaps of hours outside of the tent enjoying the fresh air.

Some of the cool points about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part not too heavy, making them simple to carry around. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are usually, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you could do without guy lines and stakes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are easily the most commonly seen of all the various sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat tops, allowing the water to pool on the roof. The most straightforward dome tent should have a rectangular footprint, slanted walls two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to their construction, it is typically considered that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Tetragon HD can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not need to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the ground with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Has Gear Loft. It is nice to see Eureka adding a gear loft in the interior to store some of your things.
3. Plenty of Positive Reviews The Tetragon HD 5 has Plenty of awesome Reviews
4. Other sizes are available. Eureka has also made this model available in Other Sizes.
5. Low price. It is a great purchase for a 5 person dome tent providing this much room. Not many tents available on the market give this level of quality for only $199.95

CONS

1. Susceptible to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Tetragon HD may not do well in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would want to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. Not spacious. With a floor area of 81 square feet, the Tetragon HD 5 is smaller than quite a few of the 30 other 5 person tents we have looked at.
3. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you need keep them inside the tent.
4. Rainfly does not totally cover the tent body. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it may not protect against heavy downpours.
5. Fiberglass poles. Poles made of fiberglass help to keep the price down, they do though tend to be not as strong. This is yet another reason to only use the Tetragon HD in decent weather.
6. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 63D 190T Polyester taffeta but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
7. Sloping walls. Even though Dome tents have many attributes to rave about. The sloping sides do tend to make it all the more smaller inside.
