Who makes a carpet roughly 4x2 M. Can be smaller

 

Pitched my Trio tent in the garden in prep for its first outing with us(last time the wife was in it was 20years ago).....all that was missing was one rubber loop and a small rip in the bedroom pod(I have duct taped it).

Hi hicky70.

                The "Outwell Minnesota 6" tent carpet is around 415cm x 240cm so not far of, the "Outwell" carpets are a little more heavy duty than say the Vango offerings, of course there are other tent carpets around, but some times it can be difficult to establish the exact size of a tent carpet as they dont seem to list the size, just which tent it is ment for, also the carpets can be odd shapes, not just a retangle. hope that helps.

I was going to buy a carpet for my vango but instead purchased some "softex premier" although classed as a breathable ground sheet it really does the job well and can be cut to any shape and  has a very nice "feel" to it. The tent carpets appear to be a rip off for what you get

There has been so bad reports about the vango ones on here.

Hi chris.cop.

                  That sounds a good idea using "softex" I picked up a heavy cotton vinyl backed dust sheet, yet to be used in anger, from Costco about £10, just the right size to cover the living area in my Cabanon, was hoping to get a "Outwell Wolf Lake 5" carpet, but like you say at £65!, they seem a tad expensive. I was just looking to help protect the ZiG a little.
