G'day Steve,

You should have 16 eyelets on the 2.4 x 4.0 m tarp, with 4 eyelets in the corners, and and extra 2 on the ends, and 4 on the sides.
The distance between the eyelets are around 80-90cm on all sizes.

G'day Brian,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you - you absolutely can use this over a trailer, just like you would a normal silver or blue tarp.
If there are sharp edges and you're concerned the mesh may be damaged, consider using something like a pool noodle for added protection.

G'day Sam,

The 2.4 x 2.4 (8ft x 8ft) has 12 eyelets all up. The 4 in the corners with another 2 down each side.

G'day Susan,

OZtrail doesn't specify a UV rating or grading of the mesh in these tarps although it is UV stabilised so it won't wear out in the sun. It will block out most of the sun and would be the best option we currently have that would work best as a shade tarp.  

G'day Sarah,

This doesn't get very hot in the sun, it would warm up a little but not super hot to stand on when barefoot. 

G'day Dylan,

Yeah, absolutely, pegging through the groundsheet is pretty common.  You also have the option to fold it up to size if you want to avoid having to peg through.
We'd just recommend setting up the same way every time if possible, and using the same holes.  You can definitely put eyelets in if you want, it comes down to personal preference and how often you'll be going away/how often the holes are being used.

G'day Lucy,

We've not specifically tried the combination out ourselves, so can't confirm if the eyelets will line up exactly with the peg holes, but it is the closest, most compatible option available.

Hope that helps.

G'day Colin,

The Coleman 10P Northstar mesh groundsheet is 6 x 2.3m, so we'd recommend choosing the closest size to that in an alternative brand.  You can potentially go wider, say up to 4m, if you want the Northstar's front awning space covered as well.
Hope that helps.

G'day Amy,

The material is pretty similar, with the overall job of protecting the tent and allowing water to flow away is the same. The Coleman footprints have been designed to fit under the tent exactly, so will be a perfect fit, while the ultramesh are more of a generic option, and will fit a range of sizes and shapes of tents. It's totally up to you, but we're pretty impressed with both of these mats, so I'd choose based on your budget.

G'day Craig,

Theres no best option here mate, it just comes down to your personal preference and how much area you would like to have covered.
If the tarp is larger than the tent footprint it's likely you will need to peg through the mesh, in which case you can grab a set of eyelets and reinforce these holes.  Make sure your orient the tarp the same way each time you set up so you can keep using the same holes.

G'day Mike,

Yes, the Ultramesh Tarps are a great option to use as a groundsheet under Swags. In terms of size, you'll have a fair amount of extra tarp, so you could fold it over, or you could peg it out flat, and have the extra space as a spot to take your shoes etc off.

G'day Elka,

We recommend the Oztent Mesh Floor Saver as it's specifically designed for the RV tent range and means you won't have to peg hole through something that isn't a perfect fit.
If you're not keen on that, choose a mat as close to the RV3 Mesh Floor saver dimensions (4 x 2.4m) as possible.

G'day Tiffany,

Being mesh, it's permeable, and the rain will soak through. There will be no difference to water retention across sizes.
Hope that helps!

G'day Kerrie,

Yes, it will.  The Ultramesh tarp is made from a heavy-duty shade cloth style material, so will allow water, light and air to reach the grass.

G'day Bree,

Welcome to the world of camping!
We'd recommend the 3.05 x 6.1m Ultramesh Tarp underneath the Brampton Tent.

G'day John,

It tends to come down to personal preference. Personally, I like to have a larger mat so there is space to walk around the tent edges in socks if I need to adjust guy ropes/windows etc. The only downfall with this will be making sure to set up in the same direction each time, so any peg holes are in a consistent spot. Some people like to go slightly smaller so they don't create any holes in the mesh. Another option would be the Oztent Mesh Floor Saver which is cut to the exact size.

G'day Glenys,

The 2.44m x 3.65m size is a good option to fit under the Coleman Traveller 3P Tent.

G'day Maddy,

The front awning on the Northstar 10P comes out about 1.4m from the tent itself, so you're looking at about 3.8m in width, by 6.1m in length. The largest Ultramesh is 3.65 x 6.1m so you could go for that model, or you could get two of the 2.4 x 6.1m tarps and overlap them a little to cover the entire front awning area.

G'day Glenn,

This particular model hasn't been around for a while now so we're going based on some archived dimensions here. As far as we know, externally they are about 3m long x 2m wide. We'd recommend the 2.44 x 3.65m size, as this will give you plenty of space and some extra room at the front for your awning.

G'day Bernice,

The Outdoor Connection Brampton 3 Room tent measures 620 x 290 in diameter. This tarp is perfect for most tents and given these dimensions the 10 x 20ft/3.05 x 6.10 would fit nicely under the tent with a slight bit protruding to wipe your feet on! If you want one for under an awning, then buying a second smaller one (to suit your needs) would work well.

G'dat Steve,

If you're just looking for something to go under the tent floor then the 2.44 x 2.44m size will be a good fit. If you'd also like it to extend under the front awning area then we'd recommend the 2.44 x 3.65m size.

G'day Andrew,

There isn't an Ultramesh tarp size that will fit under both the tent and front awning, but two of the 2.44 x 4.88m tarps will be a near-perfect fit.

G'day Cathy,

The Ultramesh Tarp in the 2.44 x 6.1m size is a good fit. The 3.65m x 6.1m is also a popular option if you're wanting to have flooring under the awning when it is open too. At this point in time Oztrail aren't making a tent specific option like Coleman has recently started making.

G'day Ronald,

Either option will suit, however if you do go for the 3.05m wide version you'll just need to make sure you line up the tarp each time you set up camp so that the pegs go back through the same holes, as you'll end up with some holes where the pegs slot through the Ultramesh top.

G'day Marci,

Yes the Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp could be used instead of the Oztent Mesh Floor Saver. You'll probably find that there isn't an exact fit depending on the size of your Oztent, but the material is similar and serves the same purpose. 

G'day Ernest,

There isn't an exact fit for the Lumos 6, but you could go for the 10 x 10' (3.05 x 3.05m), or the 8 x 12' (2.4 x 3.65m). Both will suit, with the second one being a little too narrow, but long enough to cover under your front awning area.

G'day Hamza,

The Coleman Footprints are brand new on the market and have only been out for about a month. We previously recommended the Ultramesh Tarps, but now that Coleman makes an exact fit option, then we'd recommend sticking with the Coleman Footprint.

G'day Karina,

The Ultramesh tarp is fantastic as an undertent tarp to stop moisture and dirt from reaching your tent floor. As an in-tent tarp, I'm not so sure it would work as it has no thermal properties. If you're finding it cold at night it might due to a few reasons to do with your sleep system. Your sleep system is your mattress, sleeping bag, liner and pillow which all work together to keep you warm. I've found a blog from our friends at Sea to Summit which might help explain it further HERE. If you would like more information give us a ring on 1300 914 007 or send through an email about your current setup and we can help to tailor it for your camping conditions.

G'day Alan,

The Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp will generally allow the grass to breathe a little better than your tent floor or a solid tarp, however, if left in place for an extended period they will likely kill the grass.

G'day Gerald,

The Ultramesh Tarps are available in 10 sizes, however, unfortunately, none of them are 4.3m long. 

G'day Amber,

You can peg through the Ultramesh Tarps, however, over time you will end with some larger holes in the material. We'd suggest setting it up in the same orientation each time to keep the holes consistent. If you have the Roman Swift Shelter then the 3.05 x 3.05m tarp should suit best, and you shouldn't need to peg through the tarp.

G'day Rory, 

The external dimensions of the Dirty Dee 1400 swag are 215L x 140W cm so your best bet would be the smallest size mesh tarp which is 2.44 x 2.44m. You will have a bit of overhang though, so you may want to alter it or fold it. For more detail on how to do that, check out our blog here. Hope that helps, Rory!

G'day Hiba,

If it were me I'd probably go for the 2.44 x 3.05m size if it was me, as this way you don't have to worry about folding etc. The 3.05 x 3.05m is a suitable option too, it's probably a personal preference really. I would suggest around the front vestibule area just tucking or folding the corners if they're protruding beyond where you're wanting to peg would vestibule. If it extends out from the sides of the tapered vestibule this is fine though.

G'day Jon,

I'd say the 3.05 x 3.05m Ultramesh will suit your set up perfectly.

G'day Rodger,

The Ultramesh Tarp just comes in the one colour, which is Green.

G'day David,

The Ultramesh Tarp is made from a fairly tightly woven mesh, but it will let rain/water through rather than cause pooling and runoff.

G'day Scott,

We sell the Ultramesh tarp in 10 sized, so if you're having trouble adding the size you're after to your bag maybe give us a buzz and we can problem-solve with you over the phone.

G'day Russell,

We do have all the available sizes and their measurements listed in the drop down menu, and you've got a couple of different width options that would work for you with the 10ft (3.05cm) or 12ft (3.65cm) lengths.  I reckon your best bet is to work out the minimum dimensions you're after first, and select the tarp that fits those best.

G'day Bella,

There are a few Ultramesh tarp options that should work for your Instant Cabin Gold 8P. The 3.05m x 6.1m would give you the best coverage plus a little extra extension in front of the doors. You can peg through the Ultramesh tarps but repeated pegging will lead to some holes forming. We'd suggest setting it up the same way each time so the peg holes line up. The other option would be to go for the 2.44m x 6.1m, you'll have a tarp that is a little narrower than the tent this way, but will still give you the length for the front section. It's up to you really, but both options should work for your tent.

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!

G'day Rob,

Great question. You can read about our groundsheet recommendations via our blog here.

G'day Donna,

We often recommend the Oztrail Ultramesh Tarp as a groundsheet for a range of applications, including what you've described as we've found it to be a very durable and protective flooring option.

G'day Linda,

Great question, I've just recently put together a blog to help you choose the right groundsheet for what you're after with your Outdoor Connection Bedarra. You can read through all the information you'll need here. 

G'day Emma,

Galvanised Steel Pegs available here would be the best option to use in hard ground. Size is very much a personal choice, but you're unlikely to go wrong with 300 x 8 mm. In regards to Mallets, it's hard to go past this Zempire option available here.

G'day Emma,

So to clarify, you're looking to cover the complete area of 670W x 490D cm? If so, it's now up to you how you'd like to configure it.

Personally, I would look at getting 3x 3.05 x 4.88 m Oztrail Ultramesh Tarps and then lay them side by side. There would be a bit of overhang and you'd need to establish some holes in the tarps to peg through, but this would give you the best coverage for your tent and the ground surrounding the tent for equipment such as your gazebo.
