Have now purchased the Vango Zeal 500 which I know has the sewn in ground sheet but I want to get a ground sheet that will help protect the bottom of the tent, and help keep the bottom less dirty etc. Has anyone any ideas on which ground sheet would fit this as Vango haven't made it for this tent yet but wondered if its similiar to a previous tent they did - any info back much appreciated. The Zeal is 320 x 345 pitching size.

You can make one out of a tarp either cut it to size (50mm smaller all round) or fold it under the tent where it sticks out to prevent rain water landing on it and collecting underneath the tent

Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

Thanks for the useful info. I noticed last night that Vango do a groundsheet for the Vango Airbeam Flux 550, which looks exactly the same measurements as the Vango Zeal 500 so would I be best to do that?

I have looked at different tarp grounds sheets, and they are either far too big or either too small in length or width (trying to get it 320 x 345 same pitching size as tent) which means getting an huge ground sheet to cut to size and then may not necessary have the holes to put the pegs in to secure in. If you can come back with your thoughts again I would be grateful as new to the camping idea!
