Hi. New to camping (1st trip last week!) and wondered if there is a problem with using chairs with feet inside tent. Used recliners with bars but take up a lot of room, but worried about feet damaging SIG especially if ground is wet. Any advice ?

Or you could use some small off cuts of carpet under the chair feet.

Or possibly castor cups? We have some clear ones we use under the camp bed legs to stop them punching holes in the ground

I do like the inventive ideas that you people suggest. Never thought of anything under chairs but could be useful under table perhaps.

Jam jar lids are ok, but I've had much better results with the lids off Branston pickle.
