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

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

I've used it over 30 nights and have had no problems with it inside the tent. I'm using it in a 2 person tent (REI Half Dome) with the standard ground cover.

None here. We have these on benches which get moved frequently though. They haven't damaged our floor at all.

The floor is made of a plastic, tarp-like material, not sure if that is considered poly-fabric or not, so sorry about that. . .then the rest is made of your standard tent fabric.

Being there is no pre-made footprint for this tent, I just bought a plastic drop cloth from a big box hardware store and brought it along. However, being the screened area has no floor, I wouldn't recommend covering that area; when/if it rains, the rain would go through the screen, pool on the drop cloth and funnel under your tent. While the tent floor is of the "bath tub" style, I wouldn't want rainwater needlessly running underneath. If you want to cover the ground in the screened area, I'd recommend a cheap indoor/outdoor piece of carpeting.

I used one block for the head board and it raised it slightly, the foot remains the same and I have no problem with the foot board digging into my wood floors. Hope this helped.

It is a little heavier than the floors in other regular 3-season tents I have owned. I always use a tarp "footprint" underneath to be safe.

I had no problems. Even if you leave a gap with the elastic, at worst I had a fly or two. Most was when I left the openings unzipped to go in and out. On damp ground at one camp ground I had a couple dozen crickets UNDER the tent when I took it down. They crunched when I walked on the tent floor, yuk! But unless I let them in, I did not wake up to any additional boarders.

Hi Rich, strictly speaking, no- the tent has its own self-contained floor. But a footprint is always a good idea to prolong to lifetime of your tent. You should also consider the environment where you will be using it- a soft forest floor is one thing, but the hard scrabble of a mountain environment is another. I use a homemade footprint that I cut from inexpensive plastic sheeting, and then used a grommet kit to match the grommets of the tent.

none that i see, but there is a lot of hard rubber between the wood leg & the floor. you should be good for a long time.

They recommend putting down paint tarps. We had our floor pulled up so didn't worry. I don't have an answer if you already have the problem.

I have not had a problem with mine and I've had it for several years. The shelter is made pretty well and is of the same quality as many camping tents. Set up and take down is a snap.

I put the tiles down on hard dirt under a canopy. I walk on it barefoot all the time and it is fine. I would not want to crawl on it myself, so I wouldn't let a baby crawl on it

I have not had that problem. Perhaps leveling it with the adjustable feet would help.

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.

they are perfectly safe for tent use.. but, it must be located on solid footings with know chance of tipping or having flammable objects come in contact with it.. if it tips it auto. shuts off, but the surface can still start a fire til it cools down.

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.
