What is the best thing to put on grass in an awning to stop little feet in socks keep dry and clean?

Friends have a green stretch mesh they can peg through, its sort of spongy.

Anyone got a link or a recommendation please?

I am after 3.5m by 2.5m roughly.

We started off with the spongey green mesh but in wet conditions it did tend to soak it up and stayed wet for a while. We now have Isabella Bolon grey plastic breathable groundsheet instead, it's not cheap but it is hard wearing, should last for ages and doesn't soak up moisture.

We too have the bolon carpeting but we place tarpaulin underneath .it also helps when it does rain, any water that comes through is clear water

We use an awning carpet and then place the interlocking matting that you can purchase from most caravan dealers or when available from Aldi.

Moroccan Mats...interwoven plastic. Air permeable and strong. We bought ours at a show, and many sizes are available. Had ours for years now. (2209) So hardwearing also. Only thing is they are difficult to fold down to a small size.

Bought this in the end and will use with heavy gauge polatheen if grass is wet.

Will let you all know how it performs when we get to use it.
