Well within about 48 hours of getting it delivered, cleaning it with two solutions and attempting to get it put together on a test run. We busted one of the zippers, the mfg quality of the thing was so poor, it was litterally going to need maintenance to get it put together... give me a freekin break.... I exchanged it for the (I think this is true) rebranded HomeBox now the SunHut.

I will say the SunHut is sweet, not a cheap overseas knock off. Great quality materials, upholstery, stitching, velcroed flaps covering two 4" and 6" holes for venting flanges... real nice so far.
I had similar problems with my hydrohut. The zippers got stuck real easy and its hard not to break them off. Other than that it works great. I re-enforced the top brackets with rope though. I want to get some snaps to fix the zipper problem. I think snaps would be more reliable.
Earthy Dank Reviewed by Earthy Dank on . Hydrohut alternative Just a thought for those thinking about buying a Hydrohut: In Home Depot the other day I saw a portable closet. It was white on the inside and $20. I don't think it's completely light proof though. Rating: 5
