Tent Groundsheet Range

Tent Groundsheet Buying Guide

A groundsheet helps protect the base of your shelter from abrasion, damp ground, and general trail wear. It can also make pack-down easier because you can lift the tent from a cleaner surface rather than scraping mud and grit straight off the floor.

The main choice on this page is size. A 210 x 150 cm groundsheet suits smaller tents, bivvy-style shelters, and minimalist setups where low weight matters. It gives useful floor coverage without adding much bulk to your pack, so it is a sensible option for solo trips and lighter overnight kits.

If you need broader coverage, the 210 x 300 cm option will make more sense. The larger size works better when you want extra space under a bigger tent, more gear protection near the entry, or more flexibility with how you pitch the shelter. It also suits buyers who want one larger sheet rather than trying to combine smaller pieces.

Weight matters as well. If you are counting grams, the smaller groundsheets are the better fit for fast and light trips. On the other hand, if coverage matters more than saving weight, the larger format is the stronger choice.

Colour is mostly a practical decision. A green groundsheet may blend in a little more in bush or grassy campsites, while a grey one can look cleaner and more neutral over time. In most cases, size and carry weight will matter more than colour when choosing between them.

For best results, pick a groundsheet that sits close to the footprint of your shelter rather than extending far past the edges. That helps reduce the chance of water collecting underneath in wet conditions. It also keeps the setup neater and more stable.

If your priority is a lighter setup, choose one of the 210 x 150 cm options. If you want more floor coverage and more room under the shelter, choose the 210 x 300 cm tent groundsheet.
