Hi. Taking a seasonal pitch for first time and would like a comfy awning floor.   Thinking of combo of groundsheet, interlock tiles and carpet. Will be hard standing. What does everyone else do?

Thanks. Do you put them straight onto the ground or do you have a groundsheet below?

Hi, We work on a campsite and live in the awning. To be comfy we have 1 inch, 8 foot x 4 foot polystyrene sheets directly on the ground then 8 x4 sheets of osb ply, then cheap bit of carpet from ebay. Screw awning ladders into ply job done.

I use a thick tarpaulin doubled over with rubber interlocking tiles on top and then a carpet that covers the main living area.

I can walk on any part of it, carpet or not, in bare feet

Will they pass a fire test, polystyrene has a bad record for not being fire retardant.
We going seasonal this year and are looking for comfort and any ideas
