We buy the four man tent for the boy scout troop I am the scoutmaster of, we regularly put three boys and their gear in each tent , and the tents hold up very well. RandyELIZABETH D : Yes. We have both a 2 man and the 4 man. We have had the 2 man for 12 years and it is still wonderful. We were just given 2 4 man Timberlines that are 16 years old each for our Scout troop and they have been used in rain and wind twice since were were given them with no problems. It is a wonderful tent.EUGENE S : Yes, they did last. My Scout Troop order about eight of them. They have held up well. Our Scouts use them year round. We camp approximately once a month. All eight are still in good condition. I would recommend them.TARA P : I don't know if it would, I bought the tent and it came with no poles or stakes, etc, it came to me with only the tent and rainfly fabric! so its sitting in our living room unfortunatelyDANIEL K : Best Tent ever. 12 years in the Army and 15 years loving the outdoors, this is the best tent I have ever slept in. Very well built, and you can tell it will last.JASON S : Awesome tent. Still use it as a semi-lightweight and very roomy tent, but now own a tent that weighs 3lbs less for three times the price. But this tent is more windproof and roomy. Only down side of it is the lack of vestibules and a little heavy for backpacking with three. See them often at campsites.TIMOTHY C : my first one i got from my parents and passed it on to my freinds son still goingTOM M : tent has withstood 2 summer camps and numerous weekend outings with the boy scouts.JAMES B : It has been a great tent and we use it most months when we go camping with the Boy Scouts. We bought it four years ago.KENNETH H : The tent is very well made and built to last. With proper care will provide many years of use. JOSEPH Z : The Timberline tent holds up very well. As a Scoutmaster, I can attest to this. In fact - my troop has been using these tents for over 20 years. Most last a good 8 to 10 years, maybe more, before needing replacement. Even with scouts using them every month throughout the year in all kinds of weather.STEVEN G : Yes. I purchased them for my boy scout troop. These are the only tents we use and we use them a lot. Boy scout tested! Enough said. CHUCK T : I have used this tent 8 times for two trips on the river but I bought this because most of the other campers had one and theirs have lasted for years. The most important thing is this has proven to be unbelivably water proof. ever been wet from socks to pillow ??? this tent will keep you dry ...period.CHRIS F : so far so good. The tent is fairly durable, I use it a couple of times a year when I have short trips that don't justify me setting up my larger tents. just put it away dry and seal the seams once a yearBILL M : Our Boy Scout Troop camps once a month and we bought the tents in 2008. All are working well with the exception of one where a zipper was damaged by a scout. Fabric has held up weel. all the poles and stakes are A OK. Very pleased with our purchaseJOSEPH W : Yes, I have had no problems what so ever.CHRISTIAN F : Yes. I purchased three and they have held up very well in our Scout Troop.
Shopper : how do i assemble it ?TIMOTHY C : Lay out the tent on the ground. Stake the corners down. Find the top pole assy (the one with two small ends). Feed the top pole threw the peek hoops. Get the plastic tube end pieces attach to the end of the top pole so the angled hole is in on top and angle away from the center of the tent. Get the four corner poles with the small end up put in the plastic end piece then the corner alum pin one end at a time. If you have done this right the tent and hopes should be suspending the tent Get the leftover poles (2) and one end at a time grab the top hoop pull it over the plastic end piece and down the front or back of the tent hole and put the large end of the pole on the outside of the top pole outside the plastic end cap. Attach all the hooks on the corner poles. Drape the fly over the tent so that the hooks are down and hook the fly on the end of the poles with the hook along the edge of the fly you stuck at the ends of the peek pole. Hook the other hooks on the inside face of the fly to hoops on tent. Hook the fly corners to the tent corners. Stake the four fly tie downs on (note extra small bungee cords whit metal end can be crimped on fly to eliminate tie downs). You should be done Hope it helpsERNEST L : EXCELENT CLASIC THAT WILL OUT PREFORM MODERN DOAM TENTS EASY ASSEMBALE AND THE PERFORMENCE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. HIGHLY RECOMENDRANDALL W : First review the directions. If you do not have the directions or even if you do, the first thing to do is lay out all the parts to be sure that you have everything. Tent, fly, 8 ground stakes, 4-corner poles, 1-center pole, 2-plastic connectors and 2-metal end pieces. Place a ground cloth to where you want your tent to be, to protect the bottom of the tent. Be sure that the plastic pieces are oriented in the right direction(it is marked on them) otherwise you will damage the poles and not be able to assemble the tent. After the corner poles are placed the the plastic connectors which are then oriented in the correct direction, you then insert one end of the center pole in the plastic connector. Before placing the other end of the center pole in the plastic piece, pull this end segment out from the middle segment then insert the end segment into the plastic connector. Now reconnect the end and middle segments. This is done so that you can have a more extreme angle on the end segment and thereby reducing the possibility of bending you center pole when inserting it into the plastic connector. You can now place the corner "keys" into the corner poles. Some like to do this step before attaching the center pole. Pull the elastic straps at the top center corner of the tent up and around the plastic connectors being careful not to pinch your fingers. Clip plastic tent clips on corner poles. Place the fly on the tent with the Eureka name at the front. Before securing the fly by placing the corner hooks into the rings at the bottom corners of the tent and the side clips to the tent, place the metal end pieces over the exposed ends of the center pole at the plastic connector. Attache the "S" shaped hooks at the end center of the fly into the opposite end of the metal end piece. Secure the fly to the tent. Stake your tent being sure that all slack is out of each side. This includes staking the sides so that the end side of the fly is not laying on the tent.JOE S : The 2 bones hold the ridge pole between them. The other poles form an A on each end and the tent goes under it on the hooks as you see in the p[icture. The fly goes over the top for rain. stake the sides out to keep the reain out. .IAN F : You need to use your standard trekking poles as the center posts. Other than that you use the tent Stakes provided in the loops at each corner and middle edges. If you have the bottom (sold separately) you stake it out first and tie the tent top to the same stakes. Loops on bottom hook to interior clips to keep water out.BILL M : connect the 4 a frame poles. Insert them into the clips along the front and back of the tent. Place the upper end into the connector making sure the cente ridge pole hole is facing with the hole angled toward the edge of the tent. Insert the ring and key into the bottom of each pole. Insert the bungeeed ridge pole into the connector . Stake down the four corners. add the ridge pole extentions to the ridge pole. Place the rainfly over the tent and insert the ridge pole extentions into the pockets under the rain fly front and rear. Connect the "s" clips on the rain fly to the ring and key at the tent corners. Fasten the rainflt clips located at the bottom edge of the rain fly to the tent body. Stake out the rainfly cords . your done.CHRIS F : it's pretty simple, lay out the tent, insert the poles on the corners and connect the top pole, snap the tent to the poles and cover with the rain fly. With practice it' takes maybe 10 min taking your time depending on how may stakes you use to secure it to the groundCHUCK T : You just bought a super tent absolutly rain proof. assembly the first time takes two people then after that just your self read the directions and put the frame together first and then the four corners on the ground and lift the ends ( tent material ) up to the frame. again after you do it once it is pretty easy, Congrats on your purchase

Saved the Trip!

A big storm drove us from the tent in the BWCAW. Had to cower under a shelf of rocks as the storm raged. After it passed, we returned to the the tent and found it sitting (with all our stuff still inside) in three inches of water, but everything inside was bone dry! Moved it to higher ground and slept well. Unfortunately it later collapsed in a strong wind in the Black Hills. But it lasted a good 10 years. I'd have liked to replace just the poles.

great product for the money

This is a great tent for the money. I would definitely recommend it to almost anyone. Bought this tent to use for scout camping trips and other camping/hiking trips. Easy to set up and very wind/rain proof. I had the opportunity to compare this tent to the outfitter series tent and although they look very similar, the outfitter series is much more heavy duty but $200 more. This tent has been very reliable so far and my son and I are happy with the purchase. Sunnysports was definitely the cheapest source for this tent and I ordered it online and received it the following day. Not too shabby!!

This is what other tents aspire to be.

Theres no way 4 people could camp in this tent if they were older than puberty take that into account if you were considering the Timberline 2 or thought you might step up to the Timberline 6. Otherwise its a great tent. The vestibule is a great addition.Yes its more expensive than [...] tents but this is the only tent you'll ever need...

Eureka 4 - Man Can't Beat Perfection!

We bought a Eureka 4- Man Timberline 36 years ago when we first married. Eventually, after 3 kids, we traded in for a bigger tent. Now, with the kids gone, we looked for a new tent, and quess what? Eureka Timberline is still the very best!! Best price, features, dependability, you name it. This tent has already gone to Isle Royale and Glacier National Parks, and performed with flying colors. Way to go, Eureka! Also, we love the Eureka Singlis air mattresses, which work great, too!!!
