do you need a tent footprint with this specific tent?

I'm not sure what a tent footprint is, but I didn't buy any additional items. Everything was included. I only brought a robber hammer to hammer in the nails.

The bottom of it sticks in the ground. If you push it down you could add tent states if you want but I do not think you need it.

I would say no. Although spacious, we found this tent really cumbersome and ended up trashing it after the first use.

You could be right about the 10 X 12. I fitted one on my 10 X 10 shelter Logic tent but I after you suggested 10 x 12, I am not so sure now. Definitely for the peak it would need 12 feet. I would have to measure mine when I get home to be sure. Give you some feedback later.

It doesn't come with one but I don't know why you'd need it. Get a sleep pad and call it a day. Awesome tent, super easy setup. Can't wait to use it for elk hunting this fall .

Sorry, no. But I made my own. Take a look on YouTube for DIY tent footprints.

I'm not sure. One may not include the tent footprint. Regarding the Zepher 2,it is a great 2 person tent. I have only used it a few times before my daughter and son-in-law liberated from me. They have been using it for over five years with no problems. I bought a Zephyr 1 for myself and it is the best free standing single tent. Along with the freestanding feature it has every thing I require in a single backpacking tent. It is less than 4 pounds, over 36 sq ft (it is actually 44 sqft - room for extra gear etc), you can easily sit up in it, and it can handle light snow. The best bonus is the low price. I'm not sure.

The foot print matches the tent perfectly, so you don't have any weird bulges or anything. We chose to go with the foot print over the tarp and were very pleased. With a tarp, the stake holes don't align perfectly, so you may have to bunch it up in certain places and such, where this was not an issue at all with the footprint.

A footprint would be better. We actually used the foam squares floor mats. They sell them here on amazon. About $15 for 24sq ft. We love the tent and have used quite a few times. 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 school age children. Easy set up and take down.

This is a lightweight tent with the main body, the cover and the fiberglass poles, all of which can be carried separately. It does not come with a footprint tarp but the one I purchased for it is also quite compact when folded and lightweight, again, can be carried separately, so each item can be distributed as need be

you need a 10 x 15 ft tarp to fit exactaly. You may want to get a slightly larger one for the footprint.

You could always put an additional tent next to it. Really designed to be 20 by 20. Good buy tho

I always prefer the footprint that is I fended specifically for the tent that it goes with. I bought the slumber jack footprint for this tent and it fits great. As far as the weight, it doesn't add much to the weight to carry a footprint, and they all probably weigh about the same. This is a car camping tent, so it's expected to be heavy.Some people just use a tarp too

Since the room is bigger than your frame area, if you have the patience, you could overlap the velcro on tent part to fit at the corner areas. It's alot of figuring out but once it's done, it's easier each time.

The tent has a floor, if that's what you mean. But there is no tarp, or "footprint" for underneath. Those are sold separately.

you really do not need them, its that easyor check the manufacturers web site. This tent is awesome. I have never used a tent, and it was easy for me to put together :)

yes, you need some kind of canopy frame to use this tent. Also, a strong wind will pick the tent up, so it must have some way to keep it secured to the ground.
