'''2 in 8 with double base''', which in Catalan is called '''{{lang|ca|2 de 8 amb folre}}''' or '''{{lang|ca|torre de vuit amb folre}}''', is a [[castellers]] human tower with 8 levels and 2 people per level in the trunk. It is strengthened by a second base ({{lang|ca|folre}} in Catalan) in the second level, which helps the third level. The top crown consists of the pair (''{{lang|ca|dosos}}''), a bending child (''{{lang|ca|acotxador}}'') and the crowner (''{{lang|ca|enxaneta}}''). The last two members of the tower are the only ones that climb down through the opposite row they have used to climb up.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Brotons |first1=Xavier |chapter=Apèndix I: Tots els castells |title=Castells i castellers.

It is a very fragile [[castell|human tower]] and it needs technical and equilibrated [[castellers]] to complete it. It is considered the third most difficult tower of 8 levels, after the [[4 in 8]] and the [[3 in 8]], and the first of the high range of 8, followed by the [[7 in 8]] and [[5 in 8]]. Until 2014, 22 groups of [[castellers]] have attempted this tower and all of them have completed it.<ref name="Tots els castells: Gamma alta de 8, 2de8f">{{cite web|url=http://castell.manies.cat/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=53#tab_8a |title=Tots els castells: 2de8f |publisher=castell.manies.cat |language=catalan }}</ref>
