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. 

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.

G'day Ahmed,

Spare parts can be purchased directly from Oztrail via their spare parts page.

G'day Tracy,

The internal doorways on the Oztrail Blockout Series are solid.

G'day Kate,

The sleeping area of the two outside rooms on the Oztrail Fast Frame BlockOut 10 Person Tent are 195W x 220D cm, whilst the central room is a tiny bit wider at 210W x 220D cm.
Hope that helps!

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.

G'day Ian,

Oztrail hasn't specified a specific wind speed rating on these tents.

G'day Anna,

The two tents have the same design and materials, the thing that is different is the lighting as you've indicated.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

G'day Anna,

Yes the flooring in the Blockout 10 and the Lumos 10 is the same.
