Polycotton care
As the canvas is made of cotton, it must be absolutely dry before storing to avoid mildew. It is also important to keep the canvas clean and to remove stains as quickly as possible. Dust is best wiped off with a soft brush.
DO NOT STORE IN DAMP AREAS.
Advantages of Polycotton or Technical Cotton
Polycotton, also known as Technical Cotton, gives you:
- Better UV resistance,
- Better breathability than a traditional polyester tarp,
- Longer service life,
- A lighter tarp than a 100% cotton tarp.
You'll need to be very careful, however, as Polycoton is a fabric that requires special attention to drying and stain removal.
Ease of use
This tarp connects to our TEPEE 5.2 Polycoton tent, but can also be used on its own.
It can be used in a variety of configurations to create a living area in front of your tent, or as an additional shelter from the rain or wind to store your belongings. It can be fixed to the ground, but can also be used to support trees.
Sun protection
Our Polycotton technology is based on a fabric with UPF 50+ sun protection.
Warning: a significant amount of UV can pass through the sides. Protect your skin with sunscreen.
Repair
As designers and enthusiasts of our playground, we care about the longevity of our products. That's why all our tents are designed to be repairable. Spare parts and pole repairs are available at your local Decathlon workshop or at Decathlon.fr.

Maintenance tips
Our camping tarps have been designed for occasional outdoor use (4 weeks a year) on camping trips or in the wilderness. Continuous exposure to UV rays for several weeks may damage the fabric. These products do not fall into the "garden furniture" category and are not designed for permanent outdoor use. To ensure the longest possible life for your tent, it should be stored in a dry place when not in use.
