Just got our new Outwell Sun Valley 8 and was wondering if anyone could tell me if its worth buying the ground sheet to go with it or not?

I always use a cheap tarp from b&q. just cut or fold the excess to size, slightly smaller all around the tent, so no rain can get trapped between the tarp and sig.

This is the size I have for the sunncamp eden800 which is similar size to the sunvalley. . Less than half the price of the made to measure groundsheet, does the job. Keeps the sig clean .

Woolworths currently have lots of tarp in various sizes in their sale. I have just ordered a 9 x 6 one for £7.99.

Hi Beermatt

We have just ordered the SV8 + footprint (groundsheet) and it is due to arrive today, what do you think of it?

Thanks Neets

Hi .  I used to use a cheap tarp until I landed up at a site which wouldn't allow it.  I then got an aerotex breathable groundsheet from Highbridge in gorgeous patterned burgundy.  Not too bad a price and the difference between 4 days with our sheet and my friend's tarp was amazing.  Their grass was yellow and ours was still green.  Lovely on the feet too.  Worth the outlay I think.

we use foam awning tiles - waterproof, insulating and nice and comfy on your feet.The great thing is you can put as many as you need down as they slot together like jigsaw pieces so if we're stuck for space we just take a few with us.
