BlackWolf Tanami Delta 4 Tent

G'day Leo,

The Tanami tents from Black Wolf have been discontinued, unfortunately. There are some new models on the way and you can view them on Black Wolf's website. The closest to the Tanami 4 would be the Black Wolf Tuff 4 and Black Wolf Classic 4. Black Wolf is anticipating a mid-December launch but I can't be sure we'll see them before Christmas sorry. 

G'day Deb,

The Black Wolf Tanami Delta 4 Tent has been discontinued by Black Wolf. We're expecting some new release tents later in the year but we're not entirely sure on any of the details yet. There might be another Tanami or they could go down a different line and change it slightly with a different name. Hopefully, details will come out soon. 

G'day Maree,

Unfortunately, broken poles are challenges for most people with dome tents, but I'm not sure that the issue is any more significant for the Black Wolf range in comparison to others. The Black Wolf Tanami range is very popular so the chances of hearing about broken poles more often are not uncommon due to the volume of tents purchased.

In most instances, broken poles are caused by user error or natural causes when they're unaware of the potential damage they're creating. Avoiding forcing poles, ensuring the tent is pegged out, take tension in the guy ropes and cleaning the connections are all steps to help prevent breakage. There are some other times, however, when manufacturing has gone a little wrong.

I mention this as Black Wolf (and every other tent supplier) only replace broken poles for manufacturing faults, not for when they are damaged due to natural causes (eg. wind) or user error (eg. incorrect use). We find Black Wolf incredibly helpful to deal with and we are more than happy to represent you on any potential warranty issue if it arises. We also look to assist as much as we can when the issue is outside a warranty with getting your pole fixed through spare parts etc.

G'day Ian,

The Black Wolf Tanami Delta 4EV is just an older model of the Black Wolf Tanami Delta 4. The differences are minimal with the most noticeable being the cross pole through the main body of the tent.

Hi Ryan, 

Well spotted, it appears we may have that one wrong! We'll have a look and make the necessary correction. Sorry if this has caused you any inconvenience Ryan. 

G'day David,

A geodesic frame means that the tent has more than two poles which cross over multiple times, which adds to the stability of the tent's structure.

If you have a look at the second image linked on the product page you can see that the Black Wolf Tanami Delta 4 has just two poles that cross over, so it's not considered a geodesic tent. 

G'day Rina - Generally speaking, tents aren't designed to insulate against the cold. Sure, they'll keep the wind and rain off, but if the ambient temperature is X, it won't be much different in the tent. That's where your sleeping bag, sleeping mat, and choice of clothes come into it. If it's going to be cold where you're going camping, make sure you consider that when you choose these items. When in doubt, always pack some extra socks, gloves, trackies, and beanies. And enjoy lots of hot drinks - or port if you're inclined. ;) Hope that helps. Cheers, Paul

G'day Danny - Firstly, the Tanami is out of stock until mid-May so if you're after something soon, definitely go the Roman! :) Both are neat little tents. The Black Wolf has a great warranty and oodles of ventilation. The Roman has a geodesic frame, meaning it'll remain nice and solid in a fairly moderate wind, and an awning to give you a little bit of outdoor space. Other than that, they're quite similarly spec'd. Hope that helps. Cheers, Paul

Hi Rochelle, the Black Wolf Tanami range come with flaps on the bottom of the fly that can be tucked under an attached floor for the vestibule, but it is not completely sealed. It would remain quite dry in wet conditions, but excessive water may find it's way in. If that was the case, it might be worth packing up and heading home instead!!
