Tent with poles - Arpenaz 4.1 - 4-man - 1 Bedroom

You sent me an used tent with all poles broken,elastics broken as well,it's obvious the tent was used,unfortunately I didn't check the package inside when I received it,because I trusted Decathlon, but when I arrived in camping site,I had to spend 2 hours in the rain,trying to fix the poles and replace the elastics.Decathlon,you should be ashamed of what you have done.I advice everyone when buy a product online check the containing,or you might be in the same troubles as me.

tent was a good buy but not good in bad weather broke in strong wind 2x poles snapped couldn't replace them. Tent was un usable.
U wouldn't recommend buying this tent

I bought this tent for staycation in 2020 (as unable to go abroad because of Covid-19). We are a family of 4, two adults, a 6 year old and 1 year old.
For first time camping with young family, I was sceptical about the tent and camping in general. However, this tent has a good sized sleeping area and equally good sized living space. Both areas have double layers overhead as sleeping area is separate and attached to the main tent from inside while as living space has a fly sheet over it. It is well ventilated as well.
It endured strong winds and a full day's heavy rain which at times was almost torrential. Given that tent tent remained unscathed and dry despite the bad weather conditions, that was really impressive.
As living space is fairly well ventilated, it allowed us to prepare tea etc. within it when it was lashing down. It also accommodates few chairs, small table and other bags etc.
Whole family had a good experience with this tent as well as camping holiday overall.
I'd definitely recommend this product.

I found this to be the most simplest to erect even on my own, sort the poles first in the right order and insert, then peg the front, then go straight to the rear and peg, then back to the front for pegging in right position then the middle frame then back to the back and position. Then go around the tent checking every line for tension. Simple and thank you for a great 3 weeks, just me and the dog

Bought this tent as wanted a large bedroom area and space to stand up, following reading good reviews, this seemed like a great option for the price. I was really keen to use it, having watched the assembly video beforehand - but In reality it was a disaster!

I found this tent extremely difficult to assemble and believe there must have been something wrong with mine.
I know the poles aren’t supposed to be easy to get the little metal key things into and you have to try really hard to bend them enough to insert the key, but the front pole where the door is was basically impossible to get them into, and after a lot of effort when I finally managed to get it in, the front pole was bent like a wonky horse shoe (nothing like the pics/video), and the black strap connected to the sides of the tent along the floor had pulled so taut, it had raised up into the air meaning we ran the risk of tripping over it every time we entered/exited the tent, and It was pulling on the tent material, in a way which just seemed as though something was wrong in the design or the length of the black strap. This front pole came free from its metal key, so the front of the tent was loose and not secure my entire trip. If I had forced it again I feared it would break the pole or the tents material.
I am not confident in the design of this tent, despite looking lovely and being big inside, this issue was just too much of a worry and I never want to use it again.

Great tent to start with. Stayed 2 weeks in tenby last summer. Stayed extra 2 nights just as storm came in. Unfortunately a pole broke in the night so pegged it out tighter in the wind and rain but by light it had torn up the front. I would buy it again though and get better pegs and make sure everything is tight straight away. But unfortunately it is more expensive than last year. We're all struggling these current time not just businesses!

We needed and extra tent in a hurry for my Scouts and decided to go for one of these. We were not disappointed. We also have some of the Quechua 4 Man Air Beam Tents and whilst these take a bit more erecting, they are pretty much the same as the Air Beam equivalent when up. A great alternative for those on a budget that will last for years. Ours has been used throughout the winter, got filthy and swiftly cleaned in deepest Northumberland and is still watertight. Well done Quechua, Decathlon and thank you to all at Gateshead.
