Product Information

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. Superb glamping tent easy to erect with colour co-ordinated poles, it took my wife and I only 15 minutes. Ripstop Nylon – a durable material used in tents which is strong and repairable due to its Ripstop properties. After all, I would suggest this tent for heavy campers as wel as first timers- families and small groups.

The Ministry of Defence in the UK classifies fabric with a hydrostatic head of 800mm+ as waterproof). One of the most beloved tents has evolved to encompass Coleman's® patented BlackOut Bedroom® design.Polycotton” tents will not have a Hydrostatic Head level, as they are not treated for waterproofing. Coleman has been revolutionary in creating the only BlackOut Bedrooms on the market; the Blackout Bedrooms block out up to 99% of daylight, helping you and your family get a longer, more restful sleep, whatever time you choose to go to bed or get up in the morning.

Manage the Temperature**: Keeps the bedroom up to 5°C cooler during the day and up to 1°C warmer at night. Weather in that week has been as follows; extreme heat, extreme windy conditions, extreme rain and all of the above at once. This of course means you can’t erect it when it’s raining, so unless you are absolutely guaranteed fair weather at your festival or camping trip, you are going to be taking a gamble.

The tent comes with a carry case with wheels, which is great as the tent is very heavy so it helps to be able to pull it rather than having to carry it. If you like the look of this tent I would recommend it- not for the 8 people it says it can hold though! The space in this tent is great - it makes so much difference when you need to go to the loo in the middle of the night and don’t have to crawl across the tent to find the door to get out. Proper use of sunscreen combined with shelters made with UVGuard™ protection fabric can go a long way in the battle against sunburn and UV exposure. If a tent has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm it means that a 3 metre column of water can be placed on its surface before any drops will show through the underside of the fabric.

Double Skin Tent – A tent with an inner bedroom and a flysheet, most family tents are designed as a “Double Skin tent”, as it makes the tent more comfortable, and lessens the effects of condensation. I pegged not only the corners of the groundsheet but also the windows/flaps very well with a hammer. It’s very well ventilated with the mesh windows but can get chilly at night during colder temperatures but it was a lot colder than expected for the end of July. The Coleman Octogon 8 Person BlackOut Tent is a versatile and spacious tent, perfect for luxury glamping, a kids' playroom, or festival gatherings.However, it needs to be about 10% bigger, as once you unleash the fresh from the factory machine rolled bundles inside it’s virtually impossible to ever get them back to the dimensions required. When you think it can get any better, the black out bedroom lets you get the most restful sleep even on a sunny morning. One of our most beloved tents has evolved to encompass Coleman's® patented BlackOut Bedroom® design.
