Question:
Should I put a groundsheet protector (tarp) under my bell tent?
Answer:
Putting a ground sheet protector under your bell tent can help to protect the bottom of the tent from moisture and damage. However, it is important to make sure that the tarp does not extend beyond the edges of the tent, as this can create a "bathtub" effect that can trap water underneath the tent. Therefore, just purchase the size of the groundsheet that is the same size of your bell tent. For example: a 5m bell tent will only require a 5m ground sheet protector.
