Hi, have been looking at the coir matting for the 5m bell tent, am concerned about how small it rolls - does anyone have this and can advise?

Went away last weekend and used rag rugs from Ikea but even with quite a few they didn't cover all the floor and they moved around quite a lot.

What do other bell tent users use?

Thank you x

i got 2 reduced outwell carpets and stitched them together to make a 5m circle

cost £70, but I had enough left for the main tent in the barbados as well

i use the rag rugs as well - really practical and can just wash these rather than the whole outwell one

I use a three piece coir mat for mine.

Where did you get a 3 piece mat from? or did you make it yourself?

I have found some rag rugs on ebay that I think I will go for but am interested in having coir mat too!

That looks so cosy, it's fantastic.

Talking to Sally at Longthornes campsite, she was saying they used coir matting in the tipis and it was pretty hopeless

Bulky, trapped the dirt and showed every stain

She wanted to rob my rug
