Weight
Total weight 1.3 kg Separable parts to help transportation. Flysheet 550 g Bedroom 520 g Aluminium poles (2 pieces) 50 g Tent pegs (11 pieces) 116 g Guy ropes (3 pieces) 18 g Covers 40 g + 6 g To protect your product and increase your protection from the ground and the elements, you can complement your MT900 2P tarp tent with the MT900 2P groundsheet, reference: 8919463 (270 g).
Size and living space
Bedroom length 225 cm Bedroom width 125 cm to the head and 105 cm to the feet. Room height 95 cm 2 aluminium stakes (composed of 2 sections each) located at the feet to increase the usable space. Two 60 cm-deep side canopies (storage space between the bedroom and flysheet) can each accommodate a backpack of about 50 to 60 litres, mountain equipment and a pair of hiking boots. 2 pockets in bedroom.
Architecture, tent poles and tent pegs
This tent tarp requires 2 hiking poles (ideal height 115 cm - max 120 cm) to make its structure. These poles are not supplied with the tent. You can also use the two-pole kit (ref.: 8973633). The pegs are made from 7075 T6 aluminium and have an extremely resistant “anvil” head. This design makes for a very light tent that needs to be fixed to the ground, as it does not stay up alone.
Assembly tips
Start by adjusting your poles to 115 cm in length. Next, stake the tent-tarp at the four corners, then insert the two aluminium poles into the designated sockets at the base of the tent. As the flysheet and inner tent are pre-assembled, you need to slide each pole under the flysheet, directly beneath each door, and tension the porches by driving one tent peg into the ground at their base. All that remains is to adjust all the tension and add the guy ropes in the event of strong winds.
And to disassemble it
This job is very simple. You just have to remove the 2 poles which constituted the structure of the tent, then, once the guy wires are undone and the sardines removed from the ground, to fold the tent taking into account the width of the cover. Tip: Leave the two stakes in position to save time when you assemble it next time!
Waterproofing
Simond tents are laboratory-tested: pitched tent, 200 litres/sqm/hour (3 hours, equivalent to a tropical storm). The 20D polyester (PES) flysheet (2,000 mm rating) and 40D polyamide groundsheet (3,000 mm rating) have a polyurethane coating (inside) and silicone coating (outside). Seams taped with heat-sealed strips.
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 70km/h, measured near ground level. Our tents are certified by the CSTB independent laboratory in Nantes.
Ventilation and condensation prevention
Top ventilation on each side near the doors. Upper part of the bedroom in mosquito net mesh to facilitate air flow. Water repellent fabric around the outside of the bedroom to protect against condensation and draughts. To reduce condensation inside your tent, it must be properly pitched, with the fabric kept taut without being over-stretched, and the air vents open.
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.
Durability
Your tent is designed for touring bivouacs, not for static day use. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight as much as possible because the ultra-light fabrics can be sensitive to UV rays, which weaken them.
Repairs and After-sales service
All our tents are designed to be repairable. For this model, you will find in spare parts: - the flysheet (ref 8739747) - the inner bedroom (ref 8739744 or 8812310, greige model) Information at your Decathlon store workshop or on the internet (decathlon.fr or https://support.decathlon.fr/)
