This practical footprint can be used to protect the groundsheet of your 3m, 4m, 5m or 6m Bell Tent. It is designed to fit underneath and has eyelets for the floor pegs of your tent to fit into to hold it tight.

It means that when you’re ready to pack up and put away there’s a clean base to fold and roll up your tent on ensuring a super quick pack up time!

Once home, as long as the canvas is dry, you can store your tent for the next use and wash off the lightweight groundsheet easily and leave it to dry quickly. Not essential but a very practical and useful addition to your Life Under Canvas.

*Please note this item will not line up exactly under a 4m or 5m bell tent with porch and may not fit exactly under other brands of Bell Tent. If in doubt please ask.

Our tents are designed for occasional camping use for the leisure industry. They are not designed to be left up for continuously long periods of time, therefore our warranty does not cover them for this.

However, many people choose to leave them up and they can last being left up for longer. The longevity of the tents depends on how well they are looked after and where they are sited.

If you have anymore questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Bell tents are manufactured from 100% cotton canvas and this is inherently waterproof. When the tent is used on the first few occasion the cotton fibres expand and knit together to create the waterproof fabric. If you are unfortunate enough to be subject to a torrential downpour on the first use of your tent you may experience small leaks particularly around the seam areas. This is perfectly normal and will subside after a couple of uses.

Generally the fibres expand in normal damp conditions and no leaking occurs. If looked after properly your Life Under Canvas Bell Tent should last years and years.
