Ultramesh Tarp

G'day Alanah,

Generally, you want the tarp under your tent to be mesh so that the water can flow down through it into the ground rather than pool between the tarp and your tent floor. The tent floor itself will likely be waterproof and have a waterhead rating. The tarp is designed to protect the floor of your tent rather than contribute to keeping it waterproof. So in short, the Ultramesh Tarp will suit in all seasons.

G'day Abhi,

That's a hard one to get an exact match on mate, but with the external dimensions for the Coleman 6p Gold Dark Room being 470L x 270W cm I reckon either the 8 x 16ft or maybe the 10 x 16ft..?  The former means you have to compromise a little on the width to get a closer match on length, and the later gives you extra width with the same length.  Some people like to have their groundsheets/tarps extending out from beneath the tent floor so if this is your preference as well, you might want to consider upsizing..?  Just click on the dropdown menu for all the different sizes.  Cheers :)

G'day Alan,

I can confirm that there are eyelets every 90cm along the sides of the Ultramesh Tarp. They are a single layer mesh tarp and the consensus from staff who have these is that you can see through them so you wouldn't be able to use it as a shower screen.

G'day Jim,

Thanks for your enquiry. The brass eyelets on all sizes of the OZtrail Ultramesh Tarps measure at approximately 90cm apart. 

G'day Sharon,

The Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp and Fast Frame Floor Guard are made from a very similar Polyethylene material. The Fast Frame Gloor Guard will fit exactly to your tent, but if you're happy with a fit that's slightly smaller or larger th Ultramesh Tarp will do the trick. 

G'day Jared,

I've just done a poll of the staff here in the office who have the Ultramesh Tarp and they've all said they don't get slippery when they're wet, so you should be fine with rain or overnight dew.

G'day Sian,

Yep mate, going with 2 smaller ones would be what I'd choose :)  Depending on how much you want it extending out around the Galaxy Plus, would determine which size you'd go for.  I'd probably opt for overlapping the tarps in the middle and pegging them at the outer edges rather than meeting them up underneath the tent and pegging down the centre line, but of course, that's totally a matter of personal preference :)  Cheers!

It's similar, B, not quite in the same league but far more affordable. It's made with a single layer of woven fabric, whereas the C-gear mats use a multi woven double layer fabric. The Ultramesh tarp is a fantastic choice though, I use one for my camping needs. Check out this video we created to show the performance on the beach - https://youtu.be/gEKs0X4c3o0

G'day Bruce,

I've asked around in the shop for a few options and we think the Ultramesh Tarp would provide better puncture resistance under your tent. They're a bit like a double-layered shade cloth so they're pretty tough despite being a mesh. It's worth noting though that the overall durability probably isn't as good as they're not as easy to care for/clean etc. Have a read of our blog on choosing a ground sheet, there are a few pointers in there that might help with your decision. The 8x8 should be a good fit for you Coleman Instant Up Darkroom 4p. 

G'day Dee,

The Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp 8 x 12 foot (2.44 x 3.65m) will suit your Coleman Instant Up 4P tent well, and the Supa Peg Key-Head Galvanized Steel Steel Pegs in 225mm will work well as a slightly heavier alternative to the pegs than the ones that come with the tent.

G'day Riz,

Having a bit of a look at the dimensions of the Coleman Traveller 3P Tent, I'd suggest that the 8 x 12 ft Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp would be your best bet. 

G'day Chris, 

Adding any mat or tarp is going to create some sort of slip/trip hazard on concrete, but how slippery it is will depend on how smooth the surface is.

This isn't something that we've tested or been asked before, so I'm sorry we couldn't give you a definitive answer, Chris. 

G'day Joe,

You shouldn't have any issues using an Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp with your Jet Tent F30X, just make sure you get one with large enough dimensions to fit your tent. 

G'day Joe,

If you went for the 10 x 16 ft Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp, then I reckon you'd be on to a winner with your Jet Tent F30X!

G'day Lyn,

The 10 x 10 ft Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp will fit the main body of your Roman Adventure 6V Dome Tent wonderfully. If you also wanted to cover the awning area, then I'd suggest the 10 x 16ft option.

G'day Gary,

If you're going to use an Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp, then you'd have no issues with pegging through your tarp. This would also allow you to have a small amount hanging out to use as a doormat of sorts before entering your tent. Alternatively, you'd have no issues with folding it under to fit as well. Whatever suits you best, go for it!
