Each Eureka! camping tent presents a unique combination of StormShield® features, styling, fabrics, and
accessories
Ideal camping tents for single person use. Ideal for casual backpacking or recreational camping.
Ideal for frequent backpacking or wilderness camping. Ideal for extreme condition
mountaineering or expedition use. Ideal for professional guide, outfitter, tour
group, or scout use. Ideal for casual family camping or base camp use. Ideal for
frequent or extended family camping. Ideal for recreational or home use.
Eureka tents stand tall, even in challenging environments that cause other camping
tents to fail. The difference lies within Eureka!’s StormShield construction: a
culmination of features designed for the ultimate in DRY,
TOUGH, and FAST product performance under extreme conditions. Look for
these features, and more, incorporated into most Eureka! tents.
Double-wall construction
minimizes condensation build-up inside tent by allowing air to circulate between
mesh tent roof and waterproof fly.
High/Low doors vent from
the top and/or bottom, providing options for moderating air flow. Warm air exits
from the top, and cool air enters at the bottom. Cross ventilation through
breathable interior fabric, large windows, and roof vents allows fresh air to
enter and moist air to escape the tent. High perimeter seams of bathtub
floors couple with factory taped floor seams
and fly seams to keep water out. Self-supporting frames
flex to absorb and dissipate stress from strong winds. Fabric reinforcements add
an extra layer of protection to high wear/high stress areas. Anchors for harsh weather
include storm guyout rings, loops, and webs. Nickel sliders on
self-healing nylon coil zippers keep windows and doors working smoothly time
after time. Shockcorded poles take the
guesswork out of assembly, save time, and prevent lost parts. Ring & pin assemblies
make set up easy and reduce stress and abrasion where the frame and tent
floor connect. Post & grommet attachments
speed set up and augment the tent’s structural integrity. Twin-track zipper system
allows door windows to operate independently of doors for convenience and ease
of entry and exit.
Here are some great tent care tips from Eureka!
Cleaning
Clean the tent by setting it up
and wiping it down with a mild soap (liquid hand soap) and lukewarm
water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Never use
detergent, washing machines or dryers because they can damage the
tent's protective coating and seams. After cleaning, be sure the tent
is completely dry, especially the heavier, double-stitched areas such
as the seams, before storing or mold and mildew are likely to grow.
Clean the tent poles with a
soft, dry cloth. This is especially necessary after oceanside camping
trips to remove salt spray so the poles don't corrode or stay gritty.
Clean the zippers with a quick
dip in water and then dry them off. This is especially important if
you've been camping in a location with sand/dirt. If you don't clean
the zippers, the sliders will wear out and eventually the teeth will
become inoperable.
Seam Sealing
We recommend use of a sealer
such as Kenyon Seam Sealer 3 or McNett Outdoor SeamGrip. Be sure to
check directions on the side of container for specifics before
beginning the seam sealing process.
Seam sealing should be done in a
fully ventilated area. Set the tent up or lay the tent out flat. Taut
seams allow for even application and penetration of the sealer.
Decide which seams need to be
sealed. For example, seams that will be exposed to rain, runoff, or
ground level water are a must for sealing, while seams on uncoated
nylon or mesh panels won't need treatment. You won't need to seal the
seams in the roof or the factory taped seams either. We recommend
sealing both floor & fly seams and reinforcements.
Apply sealant to the inside and
outside of all exposed seams. Draw or brush the sealant along the seam,
spreading it evenly and liberally into all of the needle holes. Several
thin layers will work better than one thick layer. Allow 30 minutes to
1 hour for the sealant to completely dry before storing the tent.
Twelve hours for SeamGrip®.
Ultraviolet
Ultraviolet damage to tent
fabric is caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. While our fabrics
are UV resistant, any synthetic fabric is susceptible to ultraviolet
degradation. UV damage will cause nylon and polyester to become brittle
and tear easily. Once your tent has UV damage, it is non-repairable,
but damage can be minimized by erecting tents on sites where exposure
to direct sunlight can be avoided. We also recommend that you use the
rain fly even on clear days. It acts as a sunscreen to the tent. A rain
fly is both easier and less expensive to replace if damaged.
Color Transfer
Due to the nature of tent
fabrics, color can transfer from darker fabric to lighter fabric if two
colors are in contact over time when wet, damp, or exposed to the
combination of moisture and high heat. This does not effect a tent’s
performance. To prevent/minimize color transfer from occurring, always
make sure that your tent is completely dry prior to packing and storage.
Storage
Make sure the tent is
completely dry, then store loosely rolled, in a dry, cool place. To
prevent dust from collecting on the tent, cover it with a cloth. This
allows the nylon/polyester fabric to breathe.
Ideally, the tent poles should
be stored in their fully assembled state. This reduces the tension on
the shock cord, prolonging its life.· We recommend that the tent bag be
used only as a carry sack and not for storage.
GENERAL TIPS:
Use a ground cloth under the
tent whenever possible. If you choose, Eureka! has pre-cut sizes. If
not, trace the tent on the ground cloth and cut smaller than the tent
footprint to avoid having it act as a water collector. Ground cloths
are easier and less expensive to replace than torn tent floors.
Try not to wear shoes inside your tent.
Bring a small rug or mat to put inside the tent door to wipe off mud and catch sand.
Sweep the tent floor daily to prevent damage from stones.
Do not keep food inside the tent. Hungry critters will chew through the tent fabric in search of a snack.
