'''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.
