Hi

We need to replace our awning ground sheet.  Some sites mention environmental sheets.  Others don't.  We just had a normal tarpaulin type ground sheet before.  It was quite thin and hasn't lasted long.  But I just don't know where to start with which kind to get.  I don't really want one of the mesh type ones as surely when the ground is damp it's wet underfoot in your awning? When it is raining my son wouldn't be able to play in there as he'd be kneeling in the wet.  Are these the environmental ones though? Can anyone sort me out and point me in the right direction with ground sheets and suggest the pros and cons of different types so I can make sense of what to buy please!

We ahve a breathable one, but as you said if it rains youwill get wet- we have never been to a sit that insists on one- so will but something underneath.

We had a couple of wet day earlier in the week so used decorating sheets

I used it in July when we had 4 days and nights of torrential rain.
It felt dry and nothing came through it i.e. grass or worm casts.
When we packed away it was fine and the grass underneath it was just slightly discoloured
Would definitely recommend it.
