Hi I am new to this site so hello
Does anyone know if I can get a footprint for my tent it is a EUROHIKE
Buckingham Elite 6 Man Family Tent or does anyone know which one will fit
If by footprint you mean a sheet that goes underneath tent to protect groundsheet from mud & so on then cheapest is to make you own. One method is to use plastic dustsheets from B&Q, a couple of quid & if particularly muddy when you leave you can just bin them before leaving site.
Perhaps better to post in the Tent forum. I am a carpet fitter and when we camped I used to save the polypropylene sheeting that the carpets come wrapped in,we did find it a bit noisy underfoot though.
One if my friends has one he made from the membrane you lay concrete on. It's really thick and if you can get some from a builder it will be free. He says it protects the groundsheet and also cuts the damp and adds a little insulation.
Eurohike are mostly sold by Millets or Blacks so you could try looking at those shops. I have just done a quick search on Amazon and can't find a footprint there. You might be lucky on Ebay.
My advice would be to measure the base of your tent then try to find a strong tarpaulin about the right size. It needs to be a good 6 inches smaller all round than the tent so that it is well hidden underneath and water doesn't land on it and run back underneath the tent between it and the groundsheet.
I wouldn't advise light polythene sheets as you will be struggling to get them onto the ground in windy weather and I have seen a few flying high over campsites in my time. They won't offer much protection against thorns and stones either. A tarpaulin with eyelets to pin it down is far better.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
