Apologies if this question seems really obvious I'm new to the whole camping scene but I've purchased a Eurohike Cairns DLX 2 man tent with a sewn in ground sheet and have read mixed things online with some people saying I need to purchase a footprint. I've tried to find one that matches the tent but keep falling short, if I was to purchase a big one could I fold it under the tent or am I just waffling b*ll s*it haha.
 
Hi Scouse.

It pays to buy a footprint that is smaller than the actual tent size.....or make one.
Having a smaller one prevents run off from the tent collecting on the footprint and pooling beneath you.
Go anything from 6 to 12 inches smaller all around. :thumbsup:

A foot print is basicly a tarp that is layed on the ground to protect the ground sheet of the tent :)

I'd completely scrolled past this, sorry! Thanks very much, could something as simple as PVC work? I'm a hot air welder by trade and work making trailer curtains and have access to grabbing some.
