Polycotton care
As part of the tent is made of cotton, the canvas must be absolutely dry before storing to avoid mildew. It's also important to keep the canvas clean and to remove stains as quickly as possible. It's best to wipe off dust 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 tent,
- A longer lifespan,
- A lighter tent than a 100% cotton tent,
- A more pleasant living environment in terms of noise, for example.
However, you need to be very careful, as Polycotton is a fabric that requires particular attention to drying and stain removal.

Sun protection

Ventilation
Living room:
Ventilation vents at the top of the living room provide fresh air and limit condensation in your tent. The living room is fitted with six mosquito nets, two on the top of the front door, two on the top sides of the living room and two on the bottom of the living room.
Bedroom:
Inside each bedroom there are two low side ventilation hatches on each side.
The bedrooms are fitted with mosquito nets on the top of the doors.
Highly wind-resistant
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 amount of wind.
With proper assembly and the guy lines deployed, this tent remains habitable in a force 8 wind measured at 70 km/h.
Waterproofing and taped seams
We test our tents to ensure they are waterproof. The first test is carried out in the laboratory for 3 hours under 200 liters of water per hour per m², the equivalent of a tropical rainfall of 200 mm per hour. The second test is carried out in the field under real conditions by our teams. This tent is equipped with a Polycotton flysheet. It has a 195 g/m² waterproof ground sheet (ground sheet: 5,000 schmerbers).

Maintenance tips
Our camping tents have been designed for occasional outdoor use (4 weeks a year) on camping trips or in the great outdoors. 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.
