Our team of campers designed this Arpenaz 4.1 F&B tent with poles for four campers wanting a pre-assembled bedroom and a spacious living room.We wanted to design a family tent with poles that is easy to pitch and features Fresh&Black technology. Less heat and light in your tent, so you can decide when to get up!

OUR COMMITMENT TO CONSUME LESS WATER WITH THIS PRODUCT

We have improved this product with a design approach to the product materials.
Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce the impact, we use a mass pigmentation process that involves adding the colour pigments when the yarn itself is produced.

Living Room and Bedroom

5 sqm living area with an inner tent height of 1.90 m.
This tent includes several accessories:
– Liftable floor mat at the entrance in case of rain
– Transparent window with shutter

The chamber of this tent is designed to accommodate a maximum of four 60cm-wide mattresses. It can also accommodate a couple looking for a very large bedroom.

Pitching and dismantling

All-in-one frame structure with pre-assembled bedroom and flysheet.
The three coloured poles are to be inserted into their respective sleeves. Then make taut by positioning the poles in the black end pieces located below the flysheet. Drive in the V-shaped pegs at the two back corners, then pull the tent forwards. Then drive in the pegs at the two front corners.

We recommend that 2 people pitch the tent.

Fresh Black technology for greater freshness and darkness in your tent

Cooler and darker for better sleep!
Fresh & Black is a technology patented by Decathlon that allows us to reflect the sun’s rays and insulate from the light thanks to specific materials.
This reduces the sensation of heat in the tent and makes it darker.

Sun protection

Our Fresh&Black technology relies on a UPF 50+ sun protection fabric.
Caution: be careful, as a large amount of UV rays can get in through a simple open door.

Ventilation

The ventilated flysheet on the living area airs the room and reduces condensation inside your tent. High ventilation hatches are placed at the front and rear of the tent. There is a mosquito net at the back of the bedroom.

Wind resistance

We test all our tents in a wind tunnel on a turntable. The aim is to expose each side of our tent to the same wind intensity.
Properly pitched, with the guy ropes deployed, this tent remains habitable in wind speed 6, measured at 50 km/h.

Waterproofing

We test our tents to validate their waterproofing. The first test is done in the laboratory, 3 hours under 200 litres of water per hour per sqm, equivalent to 200 mm tropical rain per hour. The second test is done in the field under real-life conditions by our teams. This tent is fitted with a polyurethane-coated polyester flysheet measuring 2,000 mm. It also has seams that have been waterproofed with heat-sealed strips, and a 140 g/sqm polyethylene groundsheet.

Repair

As designers and users who love nature, we care about the durability of our products. That’s why all our tents are designed to be repairable. Spare parts and pole repairs are available at the workshop of your Decathlon store or on our website.

Poles and tent pegs

Poles – All our poles are made from fibreglass and undergo double quality checks. This guarantees some of the best resistance against breakage.
Tent pegs – All our pegs are made of steel and have a diameter of 6 mm.

Maintenance advice

Our camping tents have been designed for occasional outdoor use (4 weeks per year) when camping or in the great outdoors. Continued exposure to UV rays over several weeks can damage the fabric. These products are not classified as “garden furniture” and aren’t designed to be left outdoors permanently. To guarantee maximum durability of your tent, it’s important to store it when not in use.
