It does have a small overheard gear loft for a accessories and two pockets for other bits and bobs. One issue is no vestibule’s for storing gear, which is a standard feature of most dome style tents. However, the advantage over this tent and other dome style shelters is they are more sturdy and can stand up against high winds better, if needed. When comparing this tent with other family tent’s we believe many of the cabin style tents offer more living space. Whilst on the subject of doors there’s two of them which makes access easier. The center height of just over 6 feet is sufficient enough for most people, but a larger and taller person may have to clamber in and out a little within the door area.

There is plenty of living space (120 sq ft of it) for 2 adults and two or three children sleeping with space for equipment. The Eureka Tetragon 8 has one large room or a divider can be set up so user’s only can have two rooms. Two rods have to be attached to the fly over the door area for added protection which creates a brim. It takes a little less time than setting up than most cabin style family tents.

Most of the time is spent attaching and pitching the fly down properly. The tent is attached to the poles with clips, although the top section has to slide through sleeves which seems to strengthen the structure. It’s fairly easy to pitch and can be done in less than 15 minutes. The tent is set up with two fiberglass poles only – which helps with reducing time for setting up.
