Door with zipper :

This option changes the opening system for a YKK #5 zipper with 2 sliders. It will add +25g to the final weight.

Mosquito net skirt : 120g

A 25cm wide strip of mosquito netting is sewn on the bottom of the Pioulou, blocking most flying insects. For good efficiency, the zip option is preferable.

When used with a footprint covering the entire surface, you get a complete and versatile single-wall shelter.

Stakes : 140g

• 6 Rockpin stakes to anchor your tipi on the hardest grounds
  
• 6 UL duraluminium stakes for guylines when the weather turns bad.

Extension tube : 35g

The required length for the central pole is 150cm. We advise to use both of your trekking poles strapped together with the included webbing as a central pole. This solution is the lightest (5g) and very resistant : instuctions here (pdf).

If you use a single trekking pole, you can use the tube extension : this aluminium tube allows you to gain about 25cm of height on your trekking pole.
