Canvas & Weather Protection

At the heart of the Vango Sherwood 400XL Poled Tent is its exceptionally tough Sentinel Excel fabric. This 150D embossed material is one of the most durable in Vangoโ€™s range and is designed to cope with heavy use and challenging weather conditions.

With a 5,000mm hydrostatic head rating, the flysheet offers outstanding waterproof performance, ideal for prolonged rain or exposed pitches. ColourLok technology helps protect the fabric against UV fading, ensuring the tent maintains its performance and appearance season after season. Fully taped seams provide added reassurance when the weather turns.

  • Sentinel Excel 150D Fabric โ€“ Extremely durable and hardwearing

  • 5,000mm HH Waterproof Rating โ€“ Excellent protection in heavy rain

  • ColourLok Technology โ€“ Improved UV resistance and colour retention

  • Fully Taped Seams โ€“ Watertight protection throughout


Frame, Pitching & Stability

The Vango Sherwood 400XL Poled Tent uses a traditional poled structure that delivers excellent rigidity once pitched. PowerFlex fibreglass poles are strong, lightweight and designed to flex rather than snap in gusty conditions, helping the tent maintain its shape.

Pitching is made easier thanks to oversized corner pegs and an adjustable pegging system, allowing you to achieve a neat pitch even on uneven ground. For added stability in poor weather, the TBSII Tension Band System and high-visibility guylines help brace the tent against strong, changeable winds.

  • PowerFlexยฎ Fibreglass Poles โ€“ Strong, reliable structure

  • Oversized Corner Pegs โ€“ Clear and simple pitching points

  • Adjustable Pegging System โ€“ Perfect pitch on uneven ground

  • TBSII Tension Band System โ€“ Improved stability in windy conditions

  • High Visibility Guylines โ€“ Easy to see in low light


Living Area & Integrated Front Awning

The living space is where the Vango Sherwood 400XL Poled Tent really earns its โ€œXLโ€ name. The extended living area provides ample room for relaxing, dining or storing camping furniture, while the integrated front awning adds valuable enclosed space that feels like a natural extension of the tent.

Large Diamond Clear windows allow daylight to flood the interior, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. In the evening, zipped or toggled privacy curtains let you quickly adjust light levels and privacy. Mesh doors and AirZone panels keep fresh air flowing, helping to regulate temperature and reduce condensation.

  • Extended Living Area โ€“ Plenty of room to relax or socialise

  • Pre-Attached Front Awning โ€“ Extra enclosed space for dining or storage

  • Diamond Clear Windows โ€“ Light, airy interior

  • Zipped & Toggled Privacy Curtains โ€“ Flexible privacy control

  • Mesh Doors & AirZone Panels โ€“ Improved airflow and comfort


Bedrooms & Sleeping Comfort

After a full day outdoors, the Vango Sherwood 400XL Poled Tent offers excellent sleeping comfort. The King Size Midnight Bedrooms use premium darkened fabric to reduce early morning light, helping you enjoy longer, more restful sleep.

Each sleeper benefits from a generous 70cm sleeping width, making these bedrooms noticeably more spacious than standard designs. A zipped inner divider allows you to split the sleeping area for added privacy or roll it away to create a larger shared bedroom. Practical storage pockets and clear access doors make everyday use simple and convenient.

  • King Size Midnight Bedrooms โ€“ Darkened fabric for better sleep

  • 70cm Sleeping Area Per Person โ€“ Extra comfort and space

  • Zipped Inner Divider โ€“ Flexible bedroom privacy

  • Clear Access Bedrooms โ€“ No step-over for easy entry

  • Bedroom Storage Pockets โ€“ Handy organisation


Groundsheet, Storage & Practical Features

Comfort underfoot is assured thanks to the fully sewn-in waterproof PE groundsheet, which seals out draughts, insects and moisture. An additional groundsheet protector is included, helping to extend the life of both the groundsheet and the tent when pitching on tougher ground.

Thoughtful extras such as SkyTrack II hanging points, lantern hooks and cable entry points make it easy to personalise the interior. Packing away is made far less of a chore thanks to the Smart Pack roller bag, which allows the tent to be rolled directly into the bag.

  • Fully Sewn-in Groundsheet โ€“ Warm, bug-free interior

  • Additional Groundsheet Protector โ€“ Extends tent lifespan

  • SkyTrack II System โ€“ Flexible lighting and storage
