   This tent doesn’t have a floor. You can purchase something separately. I think of this tent as more of a type of dining room when camping. It is very easy to get in and out of from either side. There are plenty of options for all the sides. The construction is top notch. The fabric is thicker than some tents. The zippers are really heavy duty. All the seams are taped. The assembly is a snap. Just get the poles together in the center aluminum hub and snap the clips on the poles. The bottom of the poles have a unique pin feature to keep them in place. There is just a metal pin on the bottom corner of the tent place that in the rod and it is secure. I will tell you the tent almost blew away a couple times. My wife made sure it didn’t say to stake it first. It didn’t and the whole thing went in the air except 1 corner. That was a little unsettling. We then staked the sides of the tent and put all the guy wires up and a storm it. We got some heavy rain and pretty good gusts of wind. The tent managed that without much problem. Take down was very easy and it packed back into the bag fairly easily. This tent will last a very long time. You can feel the quality in this tent. It’s a good one!

   The rope is slippery nylon. Very pretty color, but slippery nylon. The pull lock is also nylon. There couldn’t be less locking friction between the two if you sprayed them with WD40. I could NOT get these things to lock down. None!

   I bought the ratchet type. The ratchet locks the rope down inside the mechanism. I’ve owned Eureka since the 1970s and I’ve never had this problem before. Horrible guy-lines.

   It’s a great tent for most outdoors environments . It doesn’t take strong winds.

   Love the extra headroom and straight walls and the attached rain flaps are the reason we went with this screen room! We have an original canvas eureka screen house which we needed to replace as it’s age is taking it’s toll on the screening and canvas! Loved it while it lasted 30+ years!!!! Since that screen house is no longer available we are hoping we get the same longevity out of this one

   Fairly easy to assemble. Much larger than previously owned ones. Can fit two 9’ Kayaks and picnic table out of the rain. Loved the three zippers for door access to get in and out. Also liked the idea of having the option to only open one flap instead of the full side flap. Rain flaps are a great idea, just wish they had Velcro along other areas too to help keep the flap closed during high wind storms. A bit pricy compared to other brands, but hoping this lasts a long time to get the value

   I have had the Northern Breeze for 6 seasons and much of that time has been spent in the Outer Banks of NC beaches where it has been exposed to constant sun and storms and winds that have sent MANY lesser sturdy builds to the campground dumpster. This tent is AMAZINGLY well designed and constructed. It recently got pummeled for 12 hours by a storm system over the east coast and shed everything that storm threw at it like it was nothing. I do want to address a couple of issues that I’ve seen on here and the first one is the design issue that causes water to collect when one of the side flaps is staked with the three tarp poles. If you look at this photo you will see how I resolved that issue, but it doesn’t have to be done so formally. I just needed it to work in very tough conditions with wind. On either side of the flaps, midway from the tent to the pole, I sewed a piece of Cordura onto the flap and put a grommet in it. From that, I use a bungee cord to hang a sandbag that I made and fill with sand or rocks or dirt wherever I’m camping. This creates a gutter for the rain to shed from the flap and so far it has worked in the WORST of weather. I try to dig a small hole under the bag so that the draining water will collect and either drain or sometimes I’ll dig a little channel for it to run off in. I do not leave these hanging unless it is going to rain as I don’t want to stress the tent seams if I don’t have to, but so far the corners of the tent are not showing any signs of distress from this. The second thing I want to address is the few complains about being rain proof. For the first five seasons this tent did not leak a drop inside. However, in the sixteenths year it started to wick water through in sustained rain and that would eventually drip inside. So, I waterproofed it with Star Brite waterproofing spray using a garden sprayer and it is once again completely water-repellant except for minimal seam dripping that I will take care of with seam sealer. Given what this tent has endured, especially the beating sun, I think it has given more than a person should ask for. This tent is really a marvelously designed piece of equipment. The flaps on four sides are brilliant. I take the other three sides and extend them tarp style with no poles so as to shed water even more. If I got five years out of this beast I would call it an exceptional value, but I had neighbors at one campground who had one that had been going for 13 years and it still looked strong and study. I expect I will get the same from this one with proper care. That proper care may include a sun fly to keep the original roof from deteriorating due to the UV exposure my kind of beach camping puts this thing through.

   Eureka! Is known for the quality of the product. It did work well in a heavy rain. The size is good to fit very large camping table. Even though it is very, very expensive product we decided to buy it for many years to come. We used it once and one of the elastics broke on us. Very disappointed 🙁 for $800+ it should not have any flaws. I will be returning the product. Second time we bought a year after and it ripped again this time was the stitching. So disappointed. I guess the quality is not there anymore. But the price goes up and up. That is just not right.

   This is the best built screen house on the market. it’s also huge inside and easy to set up!

   Used for the last couple years, phenomenal screen tent. Has survived multiple severe storms, no leaks and have room for everyone

    This came in handy on a trip where we ended up staying longer than we thought and offered creature comforts for weary campers at a high altitude experiencing rain and cold. It’s tall enough where the adults aren’t having to stoop and hunch over, and plenty of room inside for stowing gear, dining or other community activities. You can use the sides with the extra poles if you need more shade but then you may get more rain coming in through the screen if weather hits. Easy enough to just zip it all down though to keep everyone and everything inside dry, and the zippers are pretty darn nice too, no snagging and tugging praying it won’t tear. Just ease of use and it was easy to shake out and put away.

    It is quite heavy though, over 30 lbs– so keep that in mind.

    I have been waiting for a screen house like this. Worth the money.

    We had our 1st tent for ten years and it was great! We purchased our new version of the same tent 2 summers ago, yesterday we noticed first the top loop of one corner was ripped away and then as we were taking it down to clean and store a side clip pulled off the tent! What the heck has happened to the quality!
    So disappointed.

    I know you are looking, trust me this is the one. Forget the others, hands down after much research and comparisons this one is the best. One full camping season in the books, 27 nights lots of weather, rain and wind it’s stood tall, gave dry shelter for kids to play in bad weather. Lifetime Eureka! Warranty to boot!
