Can anyone tell me the size of groundsheet I'd need for a Cabanon Athena?

Also, would it go under the inners or would this prevent them being pegged in, so the groundsheet only up to the inners?

Any recomendations, or get pondliner and rugs?

Thanks... Paul

410 x 530 is the foot print size. I would cover the entire area, and not peg out the inners. I find the gear will hold it in place. If you really want to peg the inners down, then it is possible to use thin foam rubber stuck with double sided tape, and peg through. The rubber stops ingress of water. This is the manufacturers system used on my pharoah six to peg through the sewn in ground sheet.

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

Thanks!

Any recommendations for making one - breathable groundsheet/pondliner/tarp?

 We use a standard tarp 430 x 530 from B&Q running the excess up and over the in turned mud flaps, stops any draughts! Pegging the inners through the tarp doesn't cause a problem as we use quite fine pegs for that.

i use a builders tarp as a footprint to pegging the inners straight through works realy well, then in the living area i put two colman tent carpets on top . it stops the bottom of your tent getting muddy, and the tarps are quite cheap so at the end of your stay if the bottom s covered in mud  , i just dump it and get another for next time. i prefer this method to a sown in g sheet because when the bottom of the sheets all muddy , and the conditions are not great and you have to take down your tent wet, you dont have the problem of the muddy ground sheet ruining the rest of the tent.
