About Eureka
Though the exact year is unknown, Eureka’s long history begins prior to 1895 in Binghamton, New York, where the company still resides today. 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 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. The seven acres of tents housed thousands of IBM salesmen during the company’s annual stockholders meeting, which had since outgrown its previous locale. In the 1940s, with the advent of World War II and the increased demand for hospital ward tents, Eureka expanded operations and began shipping tents worldwide. Ultimately, upon the post-war return of the GIs and the resultant housing shortage, Eureka turned its attention to the home front during the 1950s by supplying awnings for the multitude of mobile homes that were purchased.
In 1960, Eureka’s new and innovative Draw-Tite tent, with its practical, free standing external frame, was used in a Himalayan Expedition to Nepal by world renowned Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person documented to summit Mt. Everest only six years earlier. In 1963, Eureka made history during its own Mt. Everest ascent, with more than 60 of its tents sheltering participants from fierce 60+ mph winds and temperatures reaching below -20°F during the first all American Mt. Everest Expedition.
For backpackers and families, Eureka introduced its legendary Timberline tent in the 1970s. Truly the first StormShield design, this completely self-supporting and lightweight backpacking tent became one of the most popular tents the entire industry with sales reaching over 1 million by its ten year anniversary.
Eureka tents have also traveled as part of several historic expeditions, including the American Women’s Himalayan Expedition to Annapurna I in 1978 and the first Mt. Everest ascents by a Canadian and American woman in 1986 and 1988. In recent history, tents specially designed and donated by Eureka sheltered Eric Simonson and his team on two historic research expeditions to Mount Everest, this time in a quest for truth regarding the 1924 attempted summit of early English explorers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine. During the 1999 expedition, the team made history finding the remains of George Mallory, but the complete mystery remained unsolved. Returning in 2001 to search for more clues, the team found amazing historical artifacts which are now on display at the Smithsonian.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Hey bugs--BITE ME!!
I'm a single woman pushing 60 with no mechanical skills, and I was able to put this up by myself. In less than 30 minutes I was sitting in it, enjoying a beer and giving the finger to those rotten bugs that wanted to ruin my afternoon. At night I delight in being surrounded by happy little fireflies. I love it!
Just to add, the tent has been through 3 summers now and is still in good shape. I put it up in early spring and take it down in late fall, hosing it down and hanging it on the clothesline until it's completely dry. The poles I just make sure are dry and put back in the box (you're supposed to clean them but I don't). Also enough light gets in so that it doesn't damage the lawn under it (there is no floor).

Eureka Hexagon Screen House
I have had 4 different screen houses before this one. This is by far the best. It is easy to set up and has plenty of room. We live in Maine and sometimes have thunderstorms with gusty winds come thru. All it takes is seconds to unclip and pick up the poles and give them a little twist and the tent drops to the ground till the storm goes thru. Just as quick to set up again. I lost 3 tents before to wind. I won't have to worry about that with this one.
Excellent Backyard Screen House
I purchased a Eureka Hex Screen House 3 years ago for my wife, we live in the country and the only way I could get her to be outside with me was to get her a screenhouse to sit in. She absolutely loves this screen house, I have been setting it up in the spring every season once the bugs start to appear and leaving it up all summer. The two doors allow easy access to either side and the interior is large enough that her A-Frame swing will fit inside, she relax's bug free and comfortable while I work in the garden. This is a very high quality screen house for the price, since I leave it up throughout the summer it has withstood many gusty storms and never had an issue!!
