You need to make sure that you position the tent on top of the footprint so that none of the footprint is sticking out.Cheers.Alex

Thanks for all the feedback. I did get the tent covering the footprint initially but it is not much smaller and when it was windy the edge of the tent blew up exposing the footprint, specially at the front. Could be specific to my tent I suppose.

Maybe it won't always storm when I'm camping!

We've been out on many a rainy day and never had water between SIG and footprint yet, lucky, or type of tent, dont know.

Always tuck footprint under tent so none showing and peg tent down well so any rain just runs on grass and doest touch footprint, as Im sure others do. So maybe just luck? Anyway footprint keeps tent base nice and clean, but of course  you dont have to but exact footprint, any good quality waterproof material would do, cut to size. We got our footprint half price because it didnt have a bag and had been returned to store, lucky us.
