HAVE YOU BROKEN YOUR TENT? DON'T THROW IT AWAY!
The environmental impact of a discarded tent is equal to more than 3,000 km in a 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 consists of a beam and a stopper.
The poles used in trekking tents are usually aluminium and are very simple to change.
OUR TIP: Remember you can call your store to order parts in advance, and avoid having to make several trips.
There is nothing easier than changing a pole (10 minutes maximum):
- Unscrew the end of the pole and untie or cut the shock cord
-Change the section of pole, re-cut if it is necessary
- Thread the shock cord in the pole and tie it to the end
