The company increased production of its custom canvas products locally throughout the 1930s and during the 1940 and even fabricated and erected the IBM "tent cities" just outside Binghamton.
Then known as the Eureka Tent & Awning Company, its first wares were canvas products-most notably, Conestoga wagon covers and horse blankets for nineteenth century American frontiersmen-as well as American flags, store awnings, and camping tents.

The double-coated polyester hooded fly won't stretch, and it allows front and rear windows to remain open even in rain. It's well ventilated, thanks to two vents and large areas of mesh in the side walls. This free-standing, two-pole tent is quick and easy to set up with its durable shockcorded fiberglass frame, ring and pin attachments, and color coded webbing. The double-coated StormShield polyester fly and the polyester bathtub floor combine to provide excellent weather protection.

Review by professional reviewer, Oct., Braun Shaver Series 5 570cc, Philips Norelco Speedxl Men's Shave Model #8240xl, Philips Norelco 1160XCC SensoTouch 2d Electric Sha, Panasonic ES8228S Men's Linear Vortex Nano Arc Foi, Braun 5000 & 6000 Series Flex Integral/XP Replacem Product Description A great choice for car camping, base camp, or three-season backpacking, the Eureka Tetragon 8 rectangular dome tent comfortably sleeps four people. With a price tag of $134.99, this is a great tent and I would recommend purchasing even with the minor repairs and replacements I've done on mine. If you do plan to camp in cooler weather, you can compensate for this with warmer sleeping bags. I would not recommend this as a cold weather tent it is more of a 3 season tent. The zippers work well, but I did have to replace the tent stakes with something more heavy duty. I've not had near the problems some other reviewers have reported, and it has kept me dry in the rain on more than one occasion without even a hint of a leak. I've had to do some custom work to the tent, including reworking the rain fly and replacing flimsy pole clips. I'm not complaining too much because I've used it several times and it has performed its intended job. I've noticed quicker wear and tear and less durability in this tent than I have with other Eureka products I've owned before. This could be due to outsourcing some of the manufacturing or the cutting of corners to save on manufacturing costs. The problem with the Eureka is that quality control has slipped in recent years. * the side pocket storage and overhead loft storage area Other features I love about this tent include: The tent is well designed with windows that can remain open for venting even in the rain.
I have found that every tent manufacturer terms the "person count" of a tent exaggerated by one because they don't take gear into account, so I'd have to say this is a three-person rather than a true four-person tent. It is a two pole tent with a shock cord frame made of fiberglass. Setup is a breeze with the Eureka Tetragon. It is lightweight enough for backpacking, weighing in at a mere 8 pounds. This is designed as a four man tent, but I've used it many times alone and with my girlfriend. I backpack in all kinds of climates and weather, and the Eureka has always offered me excellent weather protection. I've owned many tents in the past, some large, some small, some canvas, some lightweight, and the name Eureka has been around for some time as far as tents go.
