Right, finally bought a family tent!
I need a footprint tarp. The branded tarps from GoOutdoors are ridiculous prices (and anyway they don’t have the size I need) for what is essentially a sheet of tarp with eyelets. On the tent manufacturer’s website, it gives dimensions of 6m x 3m for the footprint of the tent. Am I cool just buying a 6m x 3m footprint from ebay? (around £15-20)? Or does the footprint absolutely HAVE to be around 50mm smaller all the way round? Am aware of buying something way too big meaning water can pool between tent groundsheet and footprint.
Yes, I could buy my own tarpaulin, cut to exact size, insert eyelets, hem edge (or more likely duct tape edge 😆 ) but we’re at the point of saving only a few quid over the eBay option by doing that anyway
