About this deal
Improved 4500mm H/H Steel poles and a rigid D Door , the Coleman Octagon Blackout is simple to pitch , can be pitched and de-pitched by one person .
If there were more tags a section could be easily divided off for a on-suite washing/toilet area and privacy if windows are open. We watched YouTube videos to find the best way, but once you've done it a couple of times it's alright. The poles secure to plastic hooks along the side of the inner tent and to little metal pegs at the bottom of the inner tent.
Although well ventilated I did not find it colder than other tents I have used even on autumn nights.
Additional UV protection is provided by Coleman® UVGuard™ with a rating of SPF50 providing excellent protection against the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Unsurprisingly, considering the sheer quantity of poles, the Octagon weighs a shade under 30 kg so you'll need those wheels to lug it around. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. I’ll update my review once that has arrived and we have assembled it - hopefully the replacement will be without fault!
Use the Coleman Blackout Octagon Tent as a luxury glamping bedroom or expansive festival tent or with the flysheet removed it can also be used as a bug-proof screened room. Our last 4 man dome tent just had a flap of fabric which closed with a u-shaped zipper - our husky (a little Houdini! We fit our double inflatable mattress, full size travel cot and bags, with plenty of room to spare - probably enough for two single roll out beds if needed. As all of the panels have mesh built into them, airflow inside the tent is brilliant and the tent can be pitched without the flysheet.
