The peg fasteners consist in a reinforcement and a strap loop. On this loop, several types of adjusters are available:
- Normal : 2mm cord adjustable with Lineloc (+12g).
- Ultra-light (UL) fasteners: 1.25mm PES/dyneema cord with lineloc mini
- Ground fasteners by webbing + stainless rings : +65g
This option changes the linelocs fasteners for adjustable loops of webbing. The adjustment is very easy, ultra-durable and gives large versatility on snow or other difficult terrains. Buckle+cord is still used on the door for easy access.
Mosquito net skirt : 110g
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.

Central pole : 150g
