OZtrail Fast Frame BlockOut 4 Person Tent

G'day Simone,

The overwhelming majority of tents in our range are manufactured in china, even if the business is 100% Aussie owned and operated.
Unfortunately the manufacturing industry for these kind of products in Australia is virtually nonexistent.
If you're looking for an Aussie made tent, there are some canvas touring tent options around the place - Kulkyne & Austral Canvas are two off the top of my head.

G'day Anne,

No, it doesn't.  The Oztrail BlockOut range has the light suppression coating, where as the Lumos range has the light suppression & the internal lighting system.
Hope that helps!

It varies a bit depending on where you stand, Ryan, I'm 185cm and can stand in these vestibules with my head touching the fly when I'm right back near the inner tent, but i need to duck a bit to get under the doorway. ~ Ben

G'day Penny,

You'll lose about 15cm of all sides using a stretcher, due to the taper of the walls.
This effectively leaves your useable tent space as 190L x 210W.
Going of the stretcher dimensions, it will be a tight squeeze fitting them in front to back & they'll likely press on the walls, and you'll only have a 30cm corridor down the middle.

When looking at which tents to buy, minus 30cm from the sleeping area length and width, then compare that with this size of the stretchers.

Hope that helps.

G'day Courtney,

Unfortunately there is not an extended awning accessory for the Oztrail tents.
You may be able to fashion a DIY option up with tarps, etc but theres nothing available off the shelf.

G'day Paige,

The mesh panel is stitched in, but there is an internal privacy panel for each window if you want to close those up.
Hopefully that's what you mean!

Good question Nicole, we have plans to shoot videos on these tents in the coming weeks, so we can detail all these inclusions. From what I have seen though they have small internal mesh pockets in opposite corners.

G'day Natalie,

I've measured the tent pegs - of which there are lots in a little bag! They measure 17.5 long, excluding the hook end and about 5mm in diameter. They are made of steel. We always recommend buying some extra heavy duty pegs at least for the four corners of your tent so its properly anchored in the ground, especially in windy conditions. You can check out some pegs HERE or our range of pegs HERE.

G'day Natalie,

I can confirm the exterior windows do have guy ropes on the bottom which can also be used as an awning or angled down for ventilation.

G'day Natalie,

The zippers are the full length of the internal windows. They open from top to bottom to assist in good airflow, ventilation and privacy!

G'day Natalie,

I've checked our floor stock and can confirm that the zippers go from top to bottom on the door of the fly - so you can make it into an awning if you wish!

G'day Natalie,

I've checked out our display model and the rear door has eyelets which will allow you to attach poles to convert it into an awning.

G'day Natalie,

The tent body itself and floor don't have a specified waterproof rating, however from what we know about the PVC backed Polyoxford floor it is largely water-resistant and shouldn't be a problem. The tent body itself is polyester, so isn't water-resistant or waterproof.

G'day Natalie,

Yes, there are zippers that run down either side of the exterior window coverings on the fly. They run from the top of the window to just below the base of the window.

G'day Natalie,

The included awning poles are a fixed-length of 180cm.

G'day Natalie,

Both of these tents are very similar, and both have some great features. They have blackout fly material, and floor vents to allow lots of options for ventilation as needed. The material on the Oztrail is slightly higher denier, and there is no-see-um mesh, however, the floor on the Coleman is a slightly better fabric. The Oztrail is brand new on the market, so it's hard to exactly what their performance will be like. The Coleman is a great tent and has been a strong seller, with excellent reviews for a number of years, so we know that they're great. Overall we're impressed with the new Oztrail tents too, however, they've only been on the market for about a month so it's hard to know exactly how they'll perform until they've been around for a little while.
