Is this thick enough for a ground cloth under a camping tent?

It is but only if you don't completely unroll it. I would not advise using it that way. Go get a ground cloth specific to your tent you will be much happier in the end.

I don't camp, however I would think so...though 6 mil might be worth the investment. I don't see this stuff tearing under foot, even with some twigs. On the other hand, 6 mil would be 50% thicker and would last longer.

Yeah, I use it for all kinds of stuff. I used it today when I crawled under the house. I put it down to crawl on.I used it under a parrot cage then hose it off and wash them. I put it over bikes outside so they stay clean too.All from one roll

The one I purchased is 16 mil thick. I have opened the package to check but have yet to use the tarp. It is lightweight and great for that

Yes it can but you need to put a tarp over the concrete before setting up the tent to protect the floor of the tent.

This tarp is much heavier & tear resistant. I've used it multiple times under a family size tent for protection from the ground. There has been a small amount of unraveling of threads o/w it's as good as new. It'll outlast the use you listed for purposes you haven't realized you'll need it for in the future.

It would be too thin for that in my opinion. I used it as a boarder in a quilt and you could see other fabrics when I would lay this on top.

Probably yes too thick. Also if it is windy, this thing will collapse. This is more of an indoor thing, or maybe a sheltered porch.

Yes. This is about as light as you will get for a moderately priced tent that will actually keep you dry in rain and wind. Replace the steel tent stakes something lighter. Figure out a lightweight ground cloth. The floor is relatively thin.

yes! the tarp from factory has sewn edges so if you cut the cut edge with not be as strong unless you fold a little and sew with nylon thread or something waterproof. To just use under tent I do not think you will have any trouble. The cut edge will rip easy if you use it as a tarp to cover something. I think heavy 8ml plastic works just as good for ground cloth but not as strong for sticks making holes. If you have smooth ground or can put pine needles under tent the plastic this works great. Pine needles are soft and insulate from ground. Have fun outdoors! Frederick

Sorry I don't have a micrometer, but it's pretty thin. I use it for a ground cloth for my backpacking tents and the weight is a lot less than a nylon waterproof ground cloth that you usually buy that matches the tent. Also it's pretty durable and waterproof. Good luck.

Most state or federal tent sites have a pad where you need to stake the tent. We put a tarp under our tent as a vapor barrier. Never have had a problem with flooring. We put rubber castors under the legs of our cots. Just use reasonable care.

Since I cannot find a Coleman footprint/groundsheet available for this tent, I would recommend a thin tarp without grommets a little smaller, not larger, than the dimensions of the tent. You don't want it larger because that would catch water and channel it under the tent between the tarp and tent bottom, actually increasing the chance of a leaky floor.

I think so. I'd lay a blanket down first to protect the tent floor. It's definitely not made for outside use. It's thin nylon and wouldn't provide much protection from the elements. But for outside play during the day I think it would work.

It's definitely not 1 cm thick, that would pretty much be insanely thick. It is polyethylene, and in my opinion it's a very solid tarp. I use it mostly for camping, it does great against water.

The product is about 1/8 inch thick - I have used it under chairs and heavy end tables. I am about to buy more. If you think 1/8 inch is not too thick I am sure it will work fine. It is much thicker than just thin felt cloth. Hope this helps. :-)

I wouldnt try; this is rip stop nylon; it will not wilt in a soft rain; otherwise, buy a tarp

I find it better than the ground. I use a blanket for a littile more warmth lining and cushion. The only real drawback is the bar down the center. Its also large. But it makes my week of camping comfortable.

I plan to use ours in the summer, with onesies underneath. :) I wouldn't consider it too thick.
