We have no floorcovering for our small awning but now have a larger awning & would like any advice/comments re breathable floorcovering for this one. Something that is easy to manage & clean & possibly also lightweight. 

Any comments appreciated

Thanks Pete Millis re ebay will definately take a look though have never bought from there -only this site once. 

Thanks also general hawk - not sure about interlocking panels - thought they may be heavy/bulky & need to keep an eye on this.

Should be able to sort this before next season - hopefully.

I guess there is too much choice when it comes down to it.

Once again thanks

We also us the interlocking panels - great underfoot, and warn underfoot too. They are very light - infact I would say that they weigh much less than normal carpet would.

I would go for the kampa easy tread over the carpetina. We have both and although the carpetina packs up smaller, it is a good bit thinner and not as robust. I would buy the kampa again, don't think I'd get the carpetina. (although it is smoother underfoot - the only thing I can think of in it's favour).

Hi again Kent - the interlocking panels are made of a kind of foam that is very light although they are a bit bulky

We have both and would probably prefer carpetina, it lays flatter. The interlocking squares tend to ride up on uneven ground so that each square needed pegging down to get the smooth effect.
So smooth ground = Kampa   anything else = Carpetina.
Conclusion,,, have both!

Many thanks to David, N1ckyC, Mrs Numnuts & generalhawk

Will investigate all suggestions though I think will have to rule out the interlocking squares.
