TENT FLOOR PROTECTION

I have an RV3 and I use the OzTent Groundsheet under it. A piece of Poly Tarp would work OK.

Hi we have a piece of canvas that was specially made up for the tent, it comes out the front to make a floor for the "porchie" bit, seems to work well for us.

Cheers

We have a Tourer type tent and even with the heavy vynle floor had found sharp objects under the foor which was both uncomfortable and which could possibly cause damage to the vynle. We bought a length of the heavier grade shade cloth which we now run under the tent as well as out under the awning of the tent. The shade cloth keeps the bottom of the tent clean for packing up as well as allowing most of the sand/dirt to fall through at the front of the tent. I think some caravan parks require some form of ground cover to protect the grass for extended stays however I am not aware of what type suites their standards or requirements.

I use annexe matting, which can be bought from Clarke Rubber. Goes under the tent and extends under the annexe on my RV4 Oztent.

This is a more expensive option than shade cloth, but I have been happy with it.

We are also very happy with annexxe type matting (got it from an online camping store). You can bang pegs through it without the hole spreading. More expensive than shade cloth but well worth the money. I've also found it has a slightly spongy feel underfoot for a bit more comfort.

Another vote for shadecloth. Cheap and nearly indestructible. Light and easy to pack. Works great.

Bob Y. I'm trying to picture this. I would have thought the shadecloth would be on the ground, under the tent floor. Here you are coming home after some sherberts trying to get into your tent and walking on the shadecloth. This is going to make it very difficult to find your swag/bag and is definitely a sign of a very significant sherbert problem.

I have a soft floor camper and I use the polytarp cover off the trailer as the tent floor groundsheet - first off and last on!

I use a 6m thick shadecloth mat for the living area outside the tent under the awning up tpo the kitchen. Works a treat and lets all the crud fall through.

Have a look at C GEAR site.
Expensive, but works like they say it does.

Hi Patrol,
I also use standard green shade cloth. Works a treat. Had it cut so that it is slightly bigger than the tent floor - allows a bit of splash protection if it's wet, and easy to peg out the corners.
Had the edges seamed and some eyelets put in to peg it down. Like Dunworkin, also allowed some extra shadecloth at the front of the tent (about 1/2 metre) as a "porch".
Cheers, Mark.
