FAQs

How dark do the BlackOut bedrooms actually get?

The BlackOut technology blocks approximately 99% of daylight, creating near-darkness inside the sleeping cabins even during bright summer days. This means children can sleep past sunrise and adults can rest during afternoon naps. The darkness level compares to heavy blackout curtains in your home bedroom.

What size is this tent when packed away?

When packed in its carry bag, the tent measures approximately 65cm x 25cm x 25cm and weighs around 8.5kg. This compact size fits easily in most car boots alongside other camping gear. The weight distributes well between two people for carrying to your pitch location.

How long does it take to set up this tent?

Most families complete setup in 10-15 minutes once familiar with the process. First-time users typically need 20-25 minutes. The colour-coded pole system and clear instructions make assembly straightforward. Two adults working together achieve the fastest setup times.

Can this tent handle strong winds and heavy rain?

Yes, the tent withstands wind speeds up to 35mph when properly secured with all guylines. The 100% waterproof flysheet and fully sealed seams keep interiors dry during heavy downpours. However, avoid camping in severe weather warnings or gale-force conditions for safety.

Do you need a footprint or groundsheet under this tent?

The tent includes an integrated waterproof groundsheet, so additional protection isn't essential. However, a footprint extends the groundsheet's lifespan and provides extra insulation from cold ground. Many campers use a tarpaulin cut slightly smaller than the tent base for added protection.

How much headroom is there inside the tent?

The central living area offers approximately 180cm of headroom, allowing most adults to stand upright comfortably. The sleeping cabins have lower profiles at around 120cm height, suitable for sitting but not standing. This design balances interior space with wind resistance.

What's included in the box with this tent?

The package includes the main tent body, flysheet, fibreglass poles, steel pegs, guylines and a carry bag. You also get setup instructions with diagrams. The tent comes with repair patches for minor tears and spare guyline cord for replacements.

Is this tent suitable for winter camping?

This tent works best for spring, summer and autumn camping in mild conditions. While waterproof, it's not designed for snow loading or extreme cold. The single-wall construction and ventilation system suit three-season use rather than winter mountaineering or harsh weather expeditions.
