Groundsheets and Tarps

Groundsheets and Tarps

Groundsheets and tarps help to protect you and your camp gear.

Groundsheets protect your tent from the ground below. They are useful for preventing damage to the floor of your tent and also help to keep it cleaner. Under awnings and gazebos groundsheets help keep your space and camping gear cleaner. Netted groundsheets are a great choice as they allow light and air to reach the grass underneath to prevent yellowed and dead spots.

Tarps provide extra protection, shade and shelter from above. They can also be used as a groundsheet, however not every campsite allows them due to the damage they can cause to grass over time. Silver tarpaulins, or silver sails are great for extending over caravan and tent roofs for additional protection from the sun in the summer.

For hikers there’s also lightweight groundsheets and tent footprints for providing compact protection to hiking tents without adding too much additional weight.
