i shall make you jealous now....

I have a 5m circular outwell carpet, stitched together by my own fair hands (well a dodgy sewing machine actually)

Not hard to make one, or even cut a square to size - it doesn't fray, so you don't need to be able to sew

Just get the largest square you can - £39 for a utah 6 here:-

It's not that pretty being blue outwell carpet, but does the job 3.6m x 3.7m in the main square, and you'll have offcuts for the sides

PS: don't forget a hole in the middle for the pole

I thought twice about resurrecting this thread so apologies if you think it should remain dead.

Whilst browsing around for a carpet that would fit my tent (nightmare - the only way is trawling through every tent and noting its living area size – time to start a spreadsheet I think) I came across this company.

Very pricey, but round! I also think they look very good quality so would be heavy (as in weight, not like, erm, "heavy man").

Hope this helps.

We just bought out new tent from Attwools near Gloucester. We didn't like the vango carpet that would fit it (light grey) as it would show the mud so much with three kids and a dog! Attwools made us a carpet in their factory behind the shop. Might be worth googling them and giving them a call.
