Hi,
why not get a big cheap tarp and lay that on the grass and then fold your tent up on it.
We always fold our tent up on the footprit groundsheet,but as the IL is an odd shape you will neeed a big rectangular tarp to do do the job.

I hang my bell tent in the stair well. Being pointy, makes it so easy. I also always have a spare cheap poly ground sheet for folding up on.

Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.

Hi
I know this will possible add to your problems but if you can roll the tent up with the groundsheet zipped in. It will make pitching the tent next time super quick.

G Cross
But where are you going to put the Fork lift truck needed to pick the whole lot up 
Seriously though........ I have thought about doing this with my TL, but one of the main advantages of the ZIG is that it means the tent stands a far better chance of being packed away dry and safe.
