Our bag has been sliced (no fault of the bag, the fault of our storage), do you know what we could fit it in? Oztrail swag bag?
Sarah - Mascot, NSW(9 months ago)
G'day Sarah,
Yes it could fit in one of the larger Swag Bags although I would recommend the Coleman Heavy Duty Tent Dry Bag, this will be a closer fit and is a strong weather-resistant option.

Roof hooks1 answer
How much weight cant the roof hooks handle? I have a ryobi light with option of battery or power supply wondering the weight limit to the hooks
Dee - Logan, QLD(1 year ago)
G'day Dee,
There's no weight rating info provided, but standard hanging camping lanterns generally don't exceed the 500g mark - or there abouts. They're not overly heavy duty, tent materials and stitching could potentially fail, so the lighter the lantern the better.

Ground sheet1 answer
Hiya, just wondering what type / size ground sheet you would recommend for this tent? Mostly just after something to protect the bottom of the tent from damage / moisture. Cheers
Amanda - Cardiff, NSW (1 year ago)
G'day Amanda,
We'd recommend the Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp - 3.05m x 6.1m - it will suit the length well, and give you about half a metre of extra width to put shoes etc outside the tent if you have the awning up. You could also go for the 3.65m x 6.1m version if you wanted more space in front of the tent to sit and put things on under the awning.

Room Dividers1 answer
Do the room dividers have fly mesh or are they solid material or do they have a half / half split option?
Tracy - Sydney, NSW(3 years ago)
G'day Tracy,
The internal doorways on the Oztrail Blockout Series are solid.

Tent for colder weather1 answer
Hi! I was going to buy the OZTrail Fast Frame Blockout 10 person tent, but the fact that it has mesh at the to[ (obviously covered with the fly) game me pause. I wonder if this tent get cold at all for autumn and winter camping? We usually do all of our camping in autumn and spring... Thanks!!
Tamara - Winston Hills, NSW(4 years ago)
G'day Tamara,
The Fast Frame Blockout 10 should be fine for all year camping. The mesh top helps to provide ventilation and reduce condensation in the colder months. As long as you've got good quality warm sleeping gear then you'll have no worries in winter too.

How does the material differ to the Lumos version? 1 answer
Are lights the only thing that sets the Lumos tent apart from this?
Anna - Bundoora, VIC(4 years ago)
G'day Anna,
The two tents have the same design and materials, the thing that is different is the lighting as you've indicated.

UV protection?1 answer
Does this tent offer UV protection? Where can I find further details on this. Cheers
Lynn - Point Cook(4 years ago)
G'day Lynn,
Oztrail doesn't specify whether or not the fabric they use offers UV protection, it is a ripstop polyester material. All of the information Oztrail has been able to provide to us is listed on our website, so if you're looking for any further information then we'd recommend reaching out to Oztrail directly to see if they're able to provide more information for you.

Removable room dividers1 answer
Hi, can the room dividers be completely removed so that there is just one large room? Or are they zipped doors so that you end up with remaining side pieces and a lip on the floor thats a trip hazard?
Trish - Jerrabomberra(4 years ago)
G'day Trish,
The room divider doors are zippered doors with a small lip at the floor, so, unfortunately, you can't open it up as one large room. If you've got little ones, they may prove to be a bit of a trip hazard.

Need new pegs?1 answer
I read in reviews that people usually recommend buying new pegs for coleman tents. Would you also recommend buyingn new pegs for this tent too, like the Supa Peg 225 or 300mm ones? If so, how many do I need? Thanks.
Jay - Williams Landing(4 years ago)
G'day Jay,
Speaking from experience I do recommend upgrading to at least 4 pegs for each corner of the tent plus another handful for the guy ropes. Wind does tend to help the pegs wiggle themselves out of the ground leaving it vulnerable to damage. The 225mm (plus a hammer) or to be extra cautious 300mm, should do the trick to anchor down the tent, especially in windy and blustery conditions.

Flyscreen and awning 1 answer
Is the entrance door full fly screen or half half with material when open for airflow? Comparing to Coleman instant up 10p gold which is half/half when allowing airflow. Also is the awning in 3 separate bits? Just wondering about leakage through joins if it rains.
Marissa - Perth(4 years ago)
G'day Marissa,
The entrance door has a two-third flyscreen in it (you can see this on the third image), so you can get plenty of airflow, while also providing some privacy down lower similarly to the windows in the rooms. The awning is in 3 sections, so you can have just the centre set up solo, or the whole thing out. There are weather flaps over the zippers, however, in wet weather, you make experience some leaking through the zippers on the awning if the whole thing is open.

I Feel The Need... The Need For Speed.1 answer
What would be the set up time for this in comparison with the Coleman Instant Northstar 10P? Also how easy is this to set up in comparison to the said instant up tent?
Normann - Penrith, NSW(4 years ago)
G'day Normann,
Thanks for reaching out, love your subject title!! The Blockout 10 Person and the Northstar 10P will take around the same time to set up, we've not done a timed trial as yet, but they have a very very similar design and frame structure. They are just as easy to set up as the Coleman tent and have a near-identical system.
Leece - Snowys(4 years ago)
Is the shade walls and roof in this main photo apart of the tent itself or an attachment?1 answer
I’m deciding whether to get this one or the Coleman instant up 10p lighted tent.
Arielle - Omeo(4 years ago)
G'day Arielle,
The front shaded area including the walls are all part of the attached front awning. They have almost the same set up at the front as the Coleman tent.

Oztrail Fast Frame 10p vs. Coleman Northstar4 answers
I was set to buy the Northstar until I came across the new Fast Frame range. I am curious it the are any differences that are worth considering.
Cam - 4017(4 years ago)
G'day Cam,
The two tents are fairly similar to be honest, with the main difference being the integrated lighting in the Coleman Lighted Northstar Darkroom. The Coleman is very slightly wider, and the Oztrail has a slightly higher denier fabric. Overall we're pretty impressed with the new Oztrail tent range, and would happily recommend both brands.
Leece - Snowys(4 years ago)
Is the flooring the same as the Lumos version of this tent?
Anna - Bundoora, VIC (4 years ago)
G'day Anna,
Yes the flooring in the Blockout 10 and the Lumos 10 is the same.
Leece - Snowys(4 years ago)
I think from Edwin’s review, it seems like Oztrail flooring material is inferior compare to Coleman.
