Eureka Copper Canyon 6 Person

This weekend we tried out the Eureka Copper Canyon 6 Person Tent.  I was really impressed at the overall quality of the tent.  Eureka put in some extra small features that will go a long way towards making the tent last longer.

It is difficult sometimes to compare tents on price alone because often times someone can cut corners in small ways that lead to a sub standard tent.  Some of the things I liked about the Eureka tent were how the keys fit into the bottom of the poles.

At the end of each of the poles Eureka inserted a plastic part that had a tiny hole just the size of the key to insert.  This helped to prevent the pole or key from getting torn up and securely fastened the tent to the metal frame.

Another feature I noticed was that all the seams were sealed and it looked like some sort of tape or adhesive was used to make sure you wouldn’t have any leaks.

The fly over the top also had a clear part to let sunlight shine in.  I really liked this feature and it would be awesome under a starry night.

I also found the square tent to be much easier to setup.  One of the hardest parts can actually be raising the tent.  With this tent I was able to put the top poles in place and then one by one raise the tent with the side poles.  It made it very easy to put up and tear down the tent by myself.

I highly recommend this tent for durability and ease of use.Eureka Copper Canyon 6 Person
