What is a tent floor?
The tent floor is the floor covering of a tent.
Most tents already have a tent floor made of waterproof PVC.
These include tunnel tents, family tents, steep wall tents and awnings.
However, there are some tents that do not have an integrated groundsheet and for these you have to buy an external groundsheet.
Advantages of the tent floor
A major advantage of a tent floor is that the underside of the tent remains clean.
This can also be removed and cleaned using a zipper.
In addition, stains on the underside of the tent can be avoided, as the tent floor acts like a protective film.
Another advantage of a tent floor is that it prevents moisture from penetrating when the floor is wet.
Disadvantages tent floor
One disadvantage of some tent groundsheets is that they are bad for the environment, as the grass suffocates more quickly.

The perfect protection against dirt and moisture!
Have you decided to get away from it all, enjoy nature and go camping?
Sounds like the perfect plan to spend a carefree and relaxed time.
However, a lot comes together when camping, which is why you should think about packing your outdoor equipment as well as the appropriate accessories.
For example, if you are traveling with a roof tent or folding caravan, it makes sense to place a tent pad under your awning at the campsite.
This protects it from scratches and holes, especially on very uneven ground, and effectively keeps moisture away from the inside of the tent.
