• All-in-one inflatable structure with two inflation points for easy inflation. Once inflated the structure is free-standing, i.e. you can move it to a different location very easily. PUMP NOT INCLUDED
• To make it easier, we recommend that 2 people pitch the tent, although 1 person can manage.

• Protect your skin with sunscreen.

Ventilation

• Three doors with mosquito screen window.
• Can be configured as three half-doors or three open doors.

Wind resistance

• We test all our living rooms in a wind tunnel on a turntable. The goal is to expose each side of our living room to the same wind intensity.
• Properly pitched, with the guy ropes deployed, this living room remains habitable in wind speed 7, measured at 60 km/h.
• Feel free to re-inflate your inflatable poles regularly during your stay at the campsite (7 PSI).

Waterproofing

We test our living rooms to validate their waterproofing. The first test is done in the laboratory, 3 hours under 200 litres of water per hour per sqm, the equivalent of tropical rain of 200 mm per hour. The second test is done in the field under real-life conditions by our teams. This living room is fitted with a polyurethane-coated polyester flysheet measuring 2,000 mm. It also has seams that have been waterproofed with heat-sealed strips, and a 140 g/sqm polyethylene groundsheet.

Repair

As designers and users who love nature, we care about the durability of our products. That's why all our tents are designed to be repairable. Spare parts and repairs for inflatable hoops are available at the workshop of your Decathlon store or on our website.

Maintenance advice

Our camping living rooms have been designed for occasional outdoor use (4 weeks per year) when camping or in the great outdoors. Continued exposure to UV rays over several weeks can damage the fabric. These products are not classified as “garden furniture” and aren’t designed to be left outdoors permanently. To guarantee maximum durability of your living room, it's important to store it when not in use.
