Recently went to the Outdoor Show in NEC and decided to go with the eco -friendly types of groundsheets.

Having read some reviews we have concluded that the open weave options are not for us. So are considering Liteweave, Carpetina and Comfimat.

Any of your experiences of any of these would be appreciated.

Have used open weave groundsheet in our tent living areas for many years and have found them to be excellent. They are soft underfoot and any spills (which always seem to happen) drain away into the ground below, as does most dust and dirt that is brought into the tent. Yes you do get bugs in the living area, but it is a tent and most bedrooms are sealed anyway, the only time you will need a normal groundsheet is if are pitching on very wet ground when there is a chance of water/mud coming through.

We love our open weave one too for all the reasons mentioned above - only down side is that if you stay for more than a week or so you may need to mow it !!
