Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're camping in wide-open spaces or you just need a little privacy from your fellow beachgoers, this Texsport Hilo Hut privacy shelter is a must. Made of rugged polyurethane-coated taffeta, the Hilo Hut is just like a campsite dressing room, with enough space to change clothes, dry off, or just catch a moment to yourself. The shelter is sturdier than many other privacy shelters, with a pin-and-ring frame system, shock-corded fiberglass poles, and tough stakes and guy ropes that keep it rooted to the ground. And when it gets a bit too hot in the Hilo Hut, you can open the no-see-um mesh windows and vents. Other features include a large zippered D-style door for easy access, a mesh storage pocket, and a carrying bag. Flame retardant to CPAI-84 specifications, the Hilo Hut measures 4 by 4 feet and stands 84 inches tall.

Customer Reviews

You Get Less Than You Pay For...
I bought this Hilo Hut last fall, set it up in the garage for practice and the poles shredded overnight. I contacted Texsport to get some new poles from them and they never responded.

I also had a problem with the zipper, it was missing a tooth or two down low. I put on some duct tape to stop the zipper from going down all the way and getting jammed.

This thing deserves less than 1 star, unfortunately you cannot submit a review without a star rating. How about minus 1?

Bottom line, Amazon has a few other small privacy tents to choose from. You should try your luck with them. The price may look right on this one but be warned you'll get a low quality product, with no customer service from the manufacturer.

There are far better choices than this impossible unit
After spending over 30 minutes trying to set it up, my husband and I gave up and shipped this unit back. We're intelligent people and this design is most difficult to assemble correctly. Also, one rod started to crack from pressure, so it's of very low quality in my opinion. Bought the Outback Porta-privy instead for just about $20 more and couldn't be happier. It pops up in less than 3 minutes, can get it folded up and back in storage bag in about 5 minutes. No poles, no ropes/guides and no problems! Plus its olive green color blends nicely into a campsite. Do yourself a favor and skip this Texsport Hilo Hut.

Hilo hut has more lows than highs
There was no loop or hook in the roof from which to hang a shower or light, so I had to sew in a loop myself. Also, the door would not unzip all the way open. I had to rip out part of the zipper and re-sew it to make the door work properly. Unless you are handy with a sewing machine and don't mind re-making the tent, I'd avoid this one.
