Architecture, tent poles, and tent pegs

7001 aluminum poles. Ø 8.5 mm dome; top tent pole Ø 9.5 mm.
Durable lightweight aluminum.
Tent pegs/stakes:
Length 6.7″, Ø 6.1 mm.
Non-anodized 7075 aluminum for maximum strength and lightness while lowering the environmental impact.

Traditional dome shape that makes the structure free-standing and gives it good durability. Top pole provides volume and therefore capacity.

Pitching/striking

Extremely quick pitching/striking. The flysheet and bedroom are pre-assembled. You then need to insert the tent pole in the sleeves of the flysheet (color code). It is also quick to strike.
To store the tent in its bag, just fold up the tent until it is as wide as the bag, fold up the tent poles into a bundle, and place them on the bedroom or the flysheet, and roll everything up into a small bundle to fit it all in the bag.

Waterproofing

Forclaz tents are laboratory-tested: pitched tent, 200 liters/m²/hour (4 hours, equivalent to a tropical storm). They are also tested in the field by a sample user group.
75 denier polyester flysheet, polyurethane-coated (interior) water-repellent treatment (exterior), P75D groundsheet in the bedroom.
Seams taped with heat-sealed strips.
Multicomponent bedroom (P66D) that is breathable, provides protection from the wind, and reduces condensation.

Wind-resistance

We test all our tents in a wind tunnel on a turntable where we can expose each side of the tent to the wind.
To test its wind-resistance, the tent must be properly pitched, taut but not stretched, with all the guy ropes in position around the tent. It should remain habitable at wind speeds of 45 mph, measured near ground level.
Our tents are certified by the CSTB independent laboratory in Nantes.

Ventilation and condensation prevention

Bedroom with mosquito net sections for ventilation and water-repellent fabric sections to protect from condensation and drafts. Large vent at front of tent and additional vent at feet end.
To reduce condensation inside your tent, it must be properly pitched, with the fabric kept taut without being overstretched. Vents and good air flow will help reduce humidity inside your tent.

Repairs and After-sales service

As designers and users who love our field, we care about the durability of our products, which is why all our tents are designed to be repairable.

Seasons

3-season tent: Your tent will protect you from the harsh weather conditions you can encounter in the spring, summer, or autumn. It will withstand light snowfall but is not designed to withstand heavy loads that would weigh on the structure.
In case of snow, remember to shake your tent regularly in order to bring down any snow that has accumulated to avoid putting too much weight on the structure of your tent.

Eco-designed tent

We chose to use a thread known as “biton” in some fabrics of this tent.
Textile dyeing requires a lot of water but also produces waste water from the dye baths. To reduce this impact on the environment, we use only 1 mass-dyed yarn out of every 2 and thereby reduce our consumption and our impact on water.

Tent eco-design (continued)

The tent pegs are not anodized. We have stopped using nitric and phosphoric acids to fix the color because its only function is to make them look aesthetically pleasing.
Your tent pegs can have an “untreated” or “used” appearance but they retain all their technical characteristics and strength.
These actions help to reduce the environmental impact of your product.
