'''2 in 8 with double base''', which in Catalan is called '''2 de 8 amb folre''' or '''torre de vuit amb folre''', is a [[castellers]] human tower with 8 levels and 2 people per level in the trunk. It is strengthen by a second base (folre in Catalan) in the second level, which helps the third level. The top crown consists of the pair (''dosos''), a bending child (''acotxador'') and the crowner (''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 equillibrated [[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 |
