    ​Groundsheet for MT500 Mesh 2P tent

    A ground sheet, sold separately (reference: 8933562), has been designed to provide additional protection for the MT500 Mesh 2P tent. This groundsheet helps reduce abrasion and increases the tent's waterproofing (by limiting moisture rising from the ground). It also means the tent can be pitched as a tarp, without the inner tent.

    Waterproofing

    Forclaz tents are laboratory-tested: pitched tent, 200 litres/sqm/hour (3 hours, equivalent to a tropical storm). They are also tested in the field by a sample user group. 75 denier polyester (PE) flysheet, polyurethane-coated (interior) water-repellent treatment (exterior), P75D bedroom floor cover. Seams taped with heat-sealed strips.

    Durability

    Your tent is designed for wild bivouacking, it is therefore not designed for static use in the sun. We recommend that you avoid leaving it in the sun as the light fabrics can be sensitive to UV light that weakens them.

    Size and living space

    Bedroom length 210 cm.
    Width 120cm.
    Inside height 108 cm (at its highest).
    Two 60cm-deep side porches (storage space between the bedroom and flysheet) can each accommodate a backpack of about 50 to 70 litres, mountain equipment and a pair of hiking shoes.
    2 pockets in bedroom.
    1 inner hook at the top for hanging a lamp and an adjustable horizontal clothes line.

    Pitching

    Separate flysheet and bedroom. Traditional pitching method. Once the bedroom is pitched on the ground, put the 2 main poles in place and clip on the bedroom. Add the yellow cross pole by placing it over the 2 main poles and attach it to the bedroom. Cover the whole tent with the flysheet. Adjust the tautness. Intuitive pitching thanks to colour coding on the pole, bedroom and flysheet.

    Ventilation

    We created this tent for summer use. The inner bedroom is made from mesh fabric for optimal ventilation. A reclosable zipped shutter adjusts the air flow at head level. The cut of the flysheet is designed to encourage air flow towards the inner bedroom. It's finished off with 2 high vents. The bedroom can be used without the flysheet. You can spend a night under the stars looking at the Milky Way.
