Product Description After you get your tent pitched take a few minutes to put together Eureka's 3-Season Hex Screen House. When the sun goes down and the bugs come out you won't have to retreat to your tent, and you can sit at a picnic table and play cards without drenching yourself with bug dope. The hexagonal screen tent has a hub and six poles with external clips, so you can set it up in a snap. The two doors open wide enough to move in a picnic table, and it doesn't have a floor, so you don't have to worry about dropping food during mealtime. With 126 square feet, it's like bringing a sunroom to the campground.

Windless July 3, 2010 Larry V. Brabec (Barrington, Il USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great tent as long as there is no wind. A 10 mph wind twisted two of the support poles around which collapsed the side. Called the company looking for a replacement or a refund and thay wanted me to ship the unit back to them, at my expense, to see why this had happened. Once I realized the expense of returning the tent I decided against sending it back. I set the tent on the side until our next garage sale and bought a Coleman. What a difference.
Very nice screen house July 27, 2009 abezon (Bellingham, WA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Overall, this is a very nice screen house. The bug mesh is tight & regular. The polyester top/bottom is the same material as for many Eureka tents, though the polyurethane coating is not as thick, so the water resistance is not comparable to a tent. A tarp over the top will fix this problem easily. The seams & corners are reinforced, and there are no excessive stress points built into the design.
The screen house was exceptionally easy to set up -- it took us 5 minutes to set up, including opening the box. The clips are easy to attach. The 6-pole hex design has straighter sides & is sturdier in wind than the square or rectangular designs we tried.
My only complaints are (1) the doors are less than 5' high, so I have to duck to get through them, and (2) the stakes that come with the tent are large, thick, plastic things that are hard to pound into the ground, hard to hook to the tent rings, & harder to get out again. I switched to some plain metal J-shape stakes to fix problem 2.
Screen tent functional but life is short... July 20, 2009 optyman (Michigan) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Short and sweet. Owned this for several years. Never left up for more than a week at a time. Stored in bags after drying out every time.
Pros:
- Easy one or two person setup (even easier with more than two)
- Free standing (but recommend securing with stakes).
- No see-um screen with no chance of bugs entering.
- Not overly too large (fits over a large sized picnic table with some room to spare).
- Green colored (blends in with camp site)
Cons:
- Interior items can get wet if the wind blows horizontally. Light rains do not seem to impact interior.
- No top vent (gets real stuffy on the inside if you don't use a fan to circulate the air)
- Zipper teeth are small and plastic and eventually both zippers went out on this item (two separate doors). Temporarily used sewn on velcro to partially fix, until the screen ripped from age. Be carefult with the zippers. All the brands I ran across do not put better quality or larger zippers on the doors...why not???
The Eureka screen tent lasted for more than a couple of years, but now we are trying a Coleman brand. I'll let you know on that one!
Love this Screen House July 19, 2009 SDHB (Northeastern, MN) We love our new screen house. I set it up by myself in approx. 10 minutes with very little difficulty! It's that easy! Its sturdy and handles a pretty gusty wind without any problem. Looks great and keeps the sun and bugs out. Just what we were looking for!
Eureka Hexagon - No Floor July 8, 2008 ASgt 7 out of 14 found this review helpful
I was disappointed because I was looking for a tent with a floor and this tent does not have one. The description stated the tent had a floor and the picture depicts a floor. The tent has absolutely no floor.
