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.
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.

The bedroom is the inner part of the tent, the one in which you put your mattress.
