What kind of surface can I put this tent on? How resistant is its flooring?

I've been using these tents for over 8 years, and camp about once a month on average(buy about one a year). Haven't ever tried coating the fly, but I think a spray-on like Scotch Guard would work. The floor is pretty strong. Did poke a chair leg through one on soft sand. The weakness is below the door. If you've been drinking (lol) it's easy to trip and rip right below the door. They are not real tough, but good for the price. Especially for the tropics.

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.

The flooring is made of polyethylene, basically the same stuff that cheap blue tarps are made from. It should last reasonably well with care. Without care, probably not too long. Tarps are inexpensive - I always put one under my tent to protect the floor.

I bought this to use at Burning Man in the desert. The thing is this tent isn't very insulated. I actually built a swamp cooler to cool it and the air just escaped as soon as it was pumped inside. I put reflective sheets on the sides facing the sun and above where I put my bed to keep it cool. Its better than your average tent because air runs right through it, but worse if you are trying to keep cool air in. Good Luck!

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.

Yes its fine on floor indoors. Or outdoors if not windy. Its pretty lightweight. Easy to set up. If "2 persons" are 4 yr olds, then its a 2 person camper, otherwise for sleep, only 1 child. Also you need to air it out a few days before letting kids play or sleep. Very plastic smelling.

I would definitely use it outdoors in summer however there is no floor so you would probably want to put down a blanket under the tent. I purchased round area rugs that work great indoors and out.

it just sits on carpet, no serious falls. Put a blanket over the top, makes a great tent!

It has rubber caps on the legs, but 2 of the caps keep falling off mine. If you can figure out a way to keep the caps on, and don't move the cot when there is weight on it, your tent floor should be fine. If you are still worried, cut an X-slit in 6 tennis balls, and stick them on the feet. Like people do for walkers. :)

Hello, The floor size on inside is 7'6" x 8'6" the sides are rounded up from the ground because of tub floor to keep water out with no seams near ground. The walls go straight up almost for great head room. Great air flow with fine mesh screen and can close all vents or screens. This tent is very quick to set up and strong. The tent is seal very will so no water can get in with fly on. This is one of the best tents on the market I think for all weather use. It will sleep 4 adults nice but more than that to tight. If you tie down and stack right it will do good in heavy wind and rain, also you can open screens if it is raining to let air flow. I hope this will Help! Great tent !

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 item can be used in a variety of location. Please be mindful of the soil, you may need additional anchors for the sand. Also, keep in mind the tent is not wind rated and we do not warranty weather related damages.

Mostly. It's not the highest end of tents I found, but would greatly recommend it for the price. I found I was not rained on after camping in light rain, but did find that the surface of the tent fabric was very moist on the interior. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

You would want some kind of foam or inflate able mattress under it. Concrete floors are what they are... I love this product and used it many times last summer while camping.

I wouldn't hesitate myself to use it as a floor when camping if I needed a floor for a canopy. But, that's just my opinion. I used it outside this past winter and spring. Wasn't exposed to snow or temps below 20 degrees. But, held up well enough for me to fold it and save for next year. Had no signs of wear and tear. that's about as best as I can tell you.

I agree with exactly what the other people have responded. It lays flat depending on the ground. Highly recommend it! My daughter loves her tent.

The tent floor is made of polyethylene ripstop (tarp) and sewn onto the tent. It is not optional.

Just used this tent for the first time. (Outfitter model). I would say the floor was above average in durability. It wasn't rubberized or super thick or anything, but you can tell it was a tougher material and will last a long time. I loved the tent and would highly recommend the outfitter model. Easy setup too.

I've only ever used this indoors, but the material seems to be a much thicker tent type cloth. I would think it would be somewhat weatherproof but couldn't say with any certainty.
