TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Polycotton care
The canvas is cotton so it must be absolutely dry before storing to avoid damp. It is also important to keep the fabric clean and to deal with stains as quickly as possible. It is advised to wipe away dust with a soft brush.
DO NOT KEEP IN A DAMP LOCATION.
Benefits of Polycotton or Technical Cotton
The Polycotton, also known as Technical Cotton, has the following benefits:
- Better resistance to UV rays,
- Greater breathability than a traditional polyester tarp,
- Longer life cycle,
- A lighter tarp than a 100% cotton tarp.
However you must be careful as Polycotton is a fabric that needs particular attention when drying and cleaning stains.
Ease of use
This tarp connects to our TEPEE 5.2 Polycotton tent but it can always be used alone.
It can be used in multiple configurations, as an extra living space in front of your tent or an additional shelter for protecting your belongings against the rain and wind. Not only can you peg it to the ground, but you can also use any trees that are available.
Sun protection
Our Polycotton technology relies on a fabric with UPF 50+ sun protection.
Caution: a large amount of UV rays can pass through the sides. Protect your skin with sunscreen.

Maintenance advice
Our camping tarps 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 robustness of your tent, it's important to store it in a dry place when not in use.

To fulfil your needs, the Quechua tarps are tested under the conditions that you will come across when camping in the countryside. Our teams, as well as a panel of testers (made up of partners, ambassadors and customers), test our tarps throughout their development right up until they are marketed. This is how we guarantee the quality of a tarp.
