Pitching and striking the tent
This tent has a classic dome structure.
Simply install the hoops with the room, then lay the flysheet over the whole thing by hanging the loops in the corners on the ground (red for red, green for green). Finally, set up the red summit pole.
To strike the tent, the process is the same, but in reverse.
Mattress compatibility
Recommended tent with a self-inflating mattress or trekking mattress up to 70 cm wide.
We do not recommend using inflatable mattresses, that are more than 8 cm thick, in this tent.
Indeed, this greatly reduces the volume inside the tent and increases condensation inside.
Ventilation of the tent
For maximum ventilation, a large part of the room is made of mesh and includes 2 openable vents on the upper part of the doors. The flysheet is very easy to remove for sleeping under the stars on summer nights.
Waterproofing of the tent
All our tents are validated in the laboratory and in the field to guarantee the waterproofing.
To do this, we put the entire tent under a 200 L/h shower for 3 hours.
The flysheet and the groundsheet are in 2000mm-rated PU-coated polyester and all the seams are sealed with heat-sealed strips.
Wind resistance
We test all our tents in a wind tunnel on a turntable to expose each side to the wind. A properly pitched tent with all the guy ropes properly positioned around the tent should remain habitable in wind speeds of up to 30 km/h measured near ground level (Force 4).

OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH
Because we are aware that we must act to preserve our playground, Quechua is committed to limiting the environmental impact of its products. The rain fly of this tent is in greige which means that there is no dyeing of the fabric. The colour is in its raw state. The dye is one of the processes that has the most environmental impact. This is still not enough and that's why we are working to ensure that this tent will be eco-designed by 2026.
Warranty of your tent:
This camping tent was designed for occasional outdoor use (4 weeks per year) during your camping trips or in the countryside.
Continuous exposure to UV light over a period of several weeks can damage its textile part.
Our tents do not belong to the category of "garden furniture" and are not designed to be kept outdoors permanently.
To maximise the lifetime of your tent, it's important to store it properly when it is not being used.
5-year warranty.
Don't throw away, repair!
Our tents are great for camping at night.
Over time, they age and some parts may wear out or break.
To facilitate repairs, we keep a stock of parts (tent poles, flysheets, bedrooms, etc.) so that they can be easily replaced. Don't throw away, repair !
