Bell tenters- what do you use for a carpet?

[nobodysfool]

I don't like the scratchy coir ones they sell for the bell tents and can't have loads of picnic rugs/blankets on the floor as I have THE most clumsy sons who will trip up on them.
Any ideas which tents if any have a carpet that would fit?I believe 2 semi circles carpets velcro-ed together would work better which wouldnt be a problem making them as I have a sewing machine.....any ideas?

Shameless bump.

Watching with interest - I have never heard of a carpet in a tent before!

We have a groundsheet .

How about getting the largest tent carpet you can find. Look up monstrous 12 berth tents!

Then trim down to fit the bell tent.

Well I looked at the coir and it seems it's HUGE to get into a car, so that won't do for us with our tiny car.

I took a lot of rag rugs, that I got from ebay years ago - they are really cheap, very light, take up very little space. Lovely colours.

You need a fair few though and they do tend to ruckle up. But they are nice and stop it getting too messy as you can shake them.

I bought some chenille upholstery fabric from eBay. It's certainly thick enough for us and the anti-fire backing is slightly rubbery so it sticks to the groundsheet and doesn't ruck up like rugs do.

We use our old outwell Hartford XXL carpet, they don't make them anymore but you can always look on evay

Ebay even!

Blimey. A carpet for a tent?

We have a bell tent. Hasn't got a carpet. Nor curtains for that matter, and definitely not sofas!!

Curtains and sofa, now you're being silly

Behave you two! I like a warm cosy tent and I wont apologise for liking that!
