Clean tents

We were yacking about tents the other day and the thread has got a bit long so thought I might post this idea up front. Something I suggested to Bill.
To help keep the tent or trailer clean, at the entrance to your abode try laying out a large area of heavy duty shade cloth, I think it also has the name of Sarlon. Tuck it under the edge of the tent across the entrance and you may have to peg down the other two outer corners. Use at least 2 x 2 meters. It keeps all the grass and sand down, dirt falls through the holes & ditto for the rain. It's smooth to walk on and is very light weight.
We have also used it under the tent as it helps to protect the base from sharpies and keeps it clean making the tent easier to roll up.
I even cut a corner off the shade cloth to make a rice strainer when the (doubtful) navigator was cooking another delectible delight.
Good hardware stores carry the stuff.
