HAVE YOU TORN YOUR TENT? DON'T THROW IT AWAY!
You should know that the environmental impact of a discarded tent is equal to more than 3,000 km by car. To reduce this impact, Decathlon is committed to ensuring that all tents can be repaired and will be in perfect condition once repaired!
On this page, we'll provide you with step-by-step support for repairing your tent depending on the problem you've encountered.
All our tents are guaranteed against any manufacturing defects. Under guarantee, we take care of the repair and you can bring your tent straight to the workshop at your Decathlon store. Out of guarantee, or if your tent has been damaged by improper handling, it can be repaired very easily by you (or at the workshop for a charge).
The tent pole can be:
- in fibre or aluminium. In this case, it is made up of pole sections and ferrules connected together thanks to a shock cord.
- an inflatable air beam. In this case, it is made up of a tube and a valve.
On trekking tents the poles are generally made of aluminium and are very easy to replace.
OUR TIP: Remember you can call your store to order parts in advance, and avoid having to make several trips.
Nothing could be easier thank replace a tent pole (10 minutes maximum):
- Dismantle the end of the tent pole by unscrewing it and undo or cut the shock cord
- Replace the pole section by cutting if necessary
- Thread the shock cord through the tent pole and tie it to the pole end
