Hi if no luck then consider adapting a carpet from another tent. I just spent ages looking for another make of carpet for my tent (which doesn't have a carpet option from the manufacturer). I'm about to cut to size a couple of lovely green (old season) Easycamp Boston carpets from World of Camping. Not sure the area of your tent (sounds quite large) but they do a good selection and you might be able to cobble something together.

Yep, we have a Cabanon and they don't do carpets, so I got two Outwell EOL tent carpets back in 2009.
One for the bedroom pod, and one for the living area.
The two carpets were over sized of course, so I lay them down, on the ZiG and SiG, and with a magic marker, followed the outline.
I then handed the two carpets over to a lady on our local market, who does clothing alterations, and a week later I had two bespoke fitted carpets for my tent.
Job done, and it cost £10 per carpet for the alterations.

Yes, it's a shame Cabanon don't do carpets, but it's an easy workaround. I'm doing exactly the same with the two oversize Easycamp carpets, trimming down one for living area one for bedroom pod.. I'm going to put a Velcro strip on one edge of them so that when we don't use the pod I can stick the two together to make one big carpet - I guess on the plus side of having the carpet in two halves is that it's easier to remove and shake out!
