Comments about Eureka Northern Breeze Screen House with Sides & Awnings:

I've had 4 dining canopies. The cheap ones with 8 ropes to stake down and the quick setup ones with thin nylon that lets water in during downpours. While camping, and storm clouds gathered, I had to run around and try to put up plastic walls to try to keep the dining area dry. Then sit and pray for the storm to end.

The Norhtern Breeze is like the name, a breeze. If I see a storm, I zip down the sides and get out the cards. The size allows ample space for the wife and 3 boys to keep busy and keep fed for hours. No more running to the tent to ride out the rain. The 2 awnings allow us to expand the space even more.

It is bulky, but we are comfort-campers, and the Northern Breeze has definately added comfort to our camping.

Well made and easy to set up with 2 people. Because of the straight up walls it gives you a lot of covered area. Walls/flaps keep rain out if windy. Problem if it's very humid or rainy in that condensation builds up on the inside of the roof.

We have used this as a shelter over our dining area and as a sleeping tent. My favorite aspects are the overall size and the ability to roll up the sides for ventilation and view.

After a few trips with this, I can say with or without the floor we had no rain inside and not even on the ground directly underneath. When you are selective about where you set it up (flat...no ground water from rain traveling towards it) and it must also be staked down...it's so high any wind will make it move...otherwise it is very effective and enjoyable. Friends slept under it in a rain storm with just their 4 season bags and no floor and were bug-less, dry and warm all night

The poles can also be very awkward easily shifting, but it can be set up easily with 1 or 2 people within 10 minutes. I like the very long stakes that are for setting up the front like a shade canopy...but haven't used it that way...I use the long stakes for the corners and it's very stable.

The snap in floor is not a perfect fit...it's too small with not enough attachment points and not enough overlapping fabric. However, it's been nice to have a floor when we want it in the summer when my husband and I camp without the kids. The snap in floor does get a little scuffed up from the ground.

The zipper stops all over the tent are fabric and not metal. On my first tent, one of all the zippers had a tiny fabric stop. The zipper pull continued right off the tent and then makes the tent permanently open since the start of the zipper is fixed to the ceiling. Campmor exchanged mine for no cost for this reason.

I found somewhere that the manufacturer prefers the tent not be stored in the bag, but lightly folded outside the bag and the poles not be stored folded by assembled. I'm a little irritated by all the pole bags like caps to protect the poles internal strings when folded during travel...the bags and their ties are too short...I can't see myself using them long term. Most of the men I've camped with do not have small enough hands or the patience to wrap up every bundle with such short bags and ties.

We are very happy with this…an upgrade from our old screen house.

My wife and have used it as a tent, a dining and cooking area, and as a place to stay dry during a huge Midwest thunderstorm.

Pay attention to where you set it up. secure all tie downs, and combined with the floor it will remail dry inside.

On one memorable multi-day camp, we moved our huge outfitter cots into the screened room and stayed there all night! We were comfortable and had lots of room to walk around. The next day, while the sun was beating down on our neighbors we relaxed in the shade of our tent and prepared our meals and ate without worrying about the pesky flys and mosquitoes. At night we hung a fly cathcher from the convenient hook in the center of the tent and had a mosquito coil burning just in case.

Late one night, a thunderstorm struck and we remained dry and cool, despite the heavy rain and high wind. I had even kept one end of the tent open, relying on the awning and bug screen to keep the rain out! It worked like a charm.

Best Tent/Screen room I have ever owned. We leave our other tent at home now. This is so easy to put up, that it makes camping much more enjoyable.

Not the quality Eureka use to be

due to size, set up for one person only challenge

I was excited to get this but was a little let down with the lack of stakes and poles. The awnings collect water and sag. For the price I paid for this I expected better design. I am also disappointed that everything is ties and velcro...no clamps or snaps. Furthermore, I do not know why they did not design the sidewalls to zipper or clamp shut. In high winds there is no way to keep the rainfly closed on the sides.

No-see-um screen is nice, setup is easy.

This 12x12 provides oodles of room, even with a big picnic table in it. The four flaps allow one to adjust for wind, rain, sun, etc. Setting it up is idiot-proof but it does require at least 2 people. Setting it up in the wind could present a challenge.

bent a pole first day, didn't stand up to winds at all, poles slide and rotate out of place in the slightest wind. first eureka product I have owned that was a total waste of money.

good concept but poorly designed go back to the drawing board and give us a better frame....
