OZtrail Fast Frame BlockOut 6 Person Tent

G'day Bruce,

The current models of Fast Frame Tents we have don't have the gusseted windows. They do have zips down each side and are able to completely roll up, or you can also peg out the windows with the attached guy ropes.

G'day Darren,

I have one of these tents and came across the same thing! I found the rear vestibule pole threads through the pole sleeve under the top of the rear door, then there is one loop of fabric on each side of the tent where the ends slot into. It is hidden on the underside of the fly, but once in it holds out the vestibule nicely. 

They are very similar. The Instant Up tents have been around for longer but the Fast Frame offering appear to be on par with quality. I'd recommend choosing based on featuers and price.

G'day Lea,

Yep, basically. It doesn't have the same storage or provisions for a lighting system like the lumos, but it does have the ability to hang a lantern or interior light.

G'day Luke,

Coleman has been making their 6P Lighted Northstar Tent for a number of years, and we've been pretty impressed with it, they have great reviews, are easy to set up, and made from excellent quality materials. 

Oztrail has only been making the BlockOut Tents for about 6 months, and so far they seem to be ok. In terms of materials and quality, they look fairly similar, however so far our only review on the Oztrail isn't great.

Overall it's up to personal preference, but the Coleman is a winner in our books.

G'day Aaron,

Unfortunately, we don't have a display model to measure, and Oztrail doesn't have this information available. Based on what we do know, the internal vestibule is around 1.2m from the outside lower edge to the internal door when zipped shut.

G'day Kelly,

The Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp in the 3.05 x 4.88m will be a good size to extend under the front vestibule. The 3.05 x 6.1m is also a good size option if you'd like tarp underneath the front vestibule and awning area when set up as an awning as well.
