4 person poled tent - Arpenaz 4.2

This is a good 4 man tent with some nice little touches (pockets and hooks). I like the 2 bedroom feature as most 4 berth tents only come with 1 room. Nice and sturdy. Good price. Decathlon could improve this tent by: Adding zipped netted doors at the entrance and bedroom doors to prevent small insects from getting in. Having larger windows or an added window on the opposite side to the entrance to let in more light and loads of visibility An attached bathtub groundsheet instead of it being separate making pitching time even shorter. Electric hook-up access. All in all though, a decent tent that doesn't break the bank.

We have had this for a couple of years now and have been very happy with it each time we’ve used it. What makes me write a review now is that we were in it in really heavy rain in scotland last night and we stayed totally dry and the tent felt very solid. Easy to put up and down too but best with 2 people.

Easy to erect

I’ve used this tent 5 times so far. It’s easy enough to put up, even by myself. Ive used it in heavy, relentless rain with zero issues. Not used in bad wind yet. The only annoying thing is that unless it’s pitched on absolutely flat ground, it’s hard to get the middle section ground sheet to Velcro onto the bedrooms properly, so I’ve left it just unattached mostly. It’s good to use with only 1 bedroom up and the rest of the space to sit in. Got 8 people on chairs inside when it rained one night with only 1 bedroom up. Bought some cheap porch poles as there’s eyelets on the doors so that’s a good feature. Goes back in the bag too. Overall, I’ve had some expensive tents in my time, so this one is great for the price.

Very awkward to put up. Poles broke when dismantling after the first use. Tried to return and was met with appalling customer service, could only return if we had paid with a decathlon card- no one told us this when we bought it. You are also not able to put the tent back in the bag when you are finished with it as the bag is way too small. Even the manager at decathlon couldn’t fit it back after telling us we can’t return. Would not recommend at all.

Good quality tent, easy to assemble, plenty space for 4 people. Easy to carry around, as it comes in a handy bag, all around I would recommend this tent.

Looks ok but when you put it up it’s badly put together as the outer don’t sit right and gaps everywhere

Good for big family, I'm use for 6 people 3 teenagers 2 adults an 1 baby. Excellent!!!!

We used it for the first time for 3 nights away for our family of 4. - The tent survived 40mph winds and rain in storm Francis. - Plenty of space to stand up in; - lots of useful pockets and hooks for lights etc; - takes up little space in the car; - we used an extra groundsheet which made it a bit less wet underneath to put away

Just back from a few days camping in Storm Ellen. This tent was amazing. It survived the torrential rain and very high winds. No leaks and didn't move at all. I was so impressed. It's also really easy to put up and the design is great with bedroom pods at each end.

I bought this tent just over a year ago and this is the third time I've used it, and the first time during rain. It claims to be significantly waterproof but there's water coming through both ends over the sleeping areas. The whole area of each section is very wet, and I think we'll be wet inside before the day ends. Not a pleasant experience!

Great tent. We wish that there had been a mosquito net at the front and also, that the ground at the back would be able to be lifted higher (or maybe there is something missing on our tent?). Apart from that, it kept us safe during a rainy time.
