The Octagon 8 offers a full 360° view of your surroundings. Ample living space and the ingenious D-door, which opens like a conventional door, create a cozy atmosphere at the campsite. This spacious tent provides a variety of options: as a luxury glamping sleeping area, as a playroom for children, or as a comfortable tent for festivals and other events. The outer tent can be removed, transforming the Octagon 8 into an insect-free outdoor room for the garden. The tent comes with a wheeled carry bag for easy transport and storage. The water-repellent properties of a tent are measured on a scale of "water column in mm." This unit indicates how many mm of water the material can withstand over an area of 10 x 10 mm before moisture penetrates. The UK Ministry of Defence classifies a water column of 800 mm as waterproof. There are many other factors that influence a tent's performance in different weather conditions. Coleman subjects its tents to rigorous testing to ensure they provide you with an optimal home in nature—regardless of the weather. Steel poles are very robust, durable, and provide increased stability for large tents and pavilions. All tent materials used in Coleman tents are treated with a fire-retardant coating. This coating ensures that any potential fire does not get dangerously out of control but instead extinguishes itself, giving you valuable time to get to safety.
