Has anyone had problems with the feet causing damage to a tent floor?Thanks

I have not had trouble with that, but did as a precaution, cut some small maybe 4x4" squares of that closed cell blue foam roll like they have at Walmart for a 1/4" thick or so sleeping pad for a tent. That foam roll was too long for me being female anyway, so I didn't miss 4" off the end across it. I cut 6 of those one for each foot on the cot, and big enough for them not to slip out from under the "feet" of the cot. Don't know if that was necessary but love that tent and didn't want to take the chance. Hope this helps...

I have not had any issues. The rubberized feet rested nicely and there was no sliding or slippage on the floor.

I have used mine for 24 days of camping and have no damage. I would guess that what is under the tent would make a difference. It is an excellent cot.

I personally think that this tent doesn't need one. The floor is quite rugged and as long as you're careful where you pitch it, I doubt minor debris would penetrate the floor. If you really do want a footprint you'll have to make a custom one for yourself.

Be careful when you extend (open) the tent not to push the tab (lock) too far towards the bottom. It will click ever so lightly, The top will still sag a little. Sounds like you opened it too far. Check the tap lock on the front right leg.

I bought one for my mom last Sep. she just used a few times and the foot broke. I contacted Amazon and they requested me to sent the broken one back and sent a new one to me. Hope it helps.

Highly recommended. We took it to burning man last year.. In addition to the heavy winds, sand storms and extreme heat, it stood up pretty good in the rain one evening. I would recommend using commercial grade stakes to keep it bolted to the ground. The ones that are included are to flimsy.. Just my 2 cents..

I've had mine for a year and haven't had a problem. Gone camping multiple times in it.

I always clear the area I put my tent but yes the floor is very rugged for such a light tent. The only problem I've had is that one of the clips that holds the tent to the poles tore off and I need to sow it back on. Hope this helps. Overall, Im happy with the purchase.

There is no full floor, only about one foot of floor material all around the inside perimeter. We put an indoor/outdoor rug down inside the tent, with the outside edges laying on top of the tent's perimeter floor. Works perfect to completely cover all exposed ground inside the tent!

The feet on mine sit on the grass, and I didn't cut them. Worked out just fine. Might actually work out better because the feet tend to dig into the dirt a little more than they would if the bottom surface was parallel to the ground.

I put foam tiles ( skip hop playspot) under the base. I don't think that the feet would scratch the floor, but I'm more concerned with our uneven floor and possible noise that th metal feet would make, so I put those tiles down

The legs make a broad u-shape with the "u" against the tent bottom, and the loose ends stuck safely into metal bars that make the frame for the cot. It shouldn't damage the tent.

I purchased this tent about six months ago. Tent does have a lightweight floor (like the material tent walls are made from), not a tarp. Hope this helps!

The floor is very durable, but I'm not exactly sure of its makeup. I do know; however, that it did not allow any leakage or moisture in during a very heavy downpour. We also have a tarp down under our tent and I pretreat with rain repellant. We had minor leakage at the nylon straps for the tent stakes. I had not treated those areas and the base of our tent was pulled very tight. I consider the leakage that we did have to be because of that tightness and the size of the leakage was less than 3 inches in diameter (really insignificant). Both spots were near the front door.

I'm going to say no. We bought a double cot to keep us off of the ground, it's not quite a queen size, and it's hard to get it in the tent. We have just enough room on the sides to sit and put your shoes on. But, we love the tent, glad we bought it!

Hi Vicki, Did you install the steel poles around the sides of the tent that go from the plastic Y connectors to the steel pins in the stake locations around the bottom of the tent? If they fit it seems the floor would be flat on the ground and the stakes would go in. The stakes go at the same places that the side poles attach. The steel pins lock in the bottom of the side poles to pull the sides down. Ed

By design I would say yes. However, in reality, the floor material is very thin at only 1200mm. Most tents have a floor with 2000mm - 5000mm that has a water resistant coating applied. In addition to being thin this floor does not appear to have the water resistant coating. For that reason if you were to buy this you would definitely want to purchase a/the footrprint otherwise you will probably end up wet.

I only recomend anchoring the feet that attaches to the legs, with some good heavy strong long stakes. You can mfind tent stakes that look just like a huge nail. I would not achor with cement as it will rust some metals. Cement ate up my wheelbarrow bottom. Great, strong canopy. Mel
