Product Information
Full details
The Vango Groundsheet Protector in Black is designed for campers who want to extend the lifespan of their tent and maintain a clean campsite. Its primary benefit is preventing tears on the tent's base from sharp objects. A potential caveat is its 2.0kg weight, which adds to overall gear load. This protector features two parts for both the tent floor and under the canopy, aids in pitch mapping, and keeps your tent groundsheet clean for easier packing.

Can I use this with any tent?

It is made from 100% PE (Polyethylene), a durable and easy-to-clean material.

Troubleshooting
Groundsheet does not lay flat
Ensure the ground underneath is relatively smooth and free of major debris. Try to pull the groundsheet taut during setup.
Difficult to fold back into the carry bag
Ensure the groundsheet is completely dry before folding. Fold it systematically, pressing out as much air as possible.
Minor rips or punctures
For small tears, consider using a durable repair tape designed for outdoor gear. For larger damage, replacement might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the two sections of the groundsheet protector from its carry bag.
- Lay out the larger section where you intend to pitch your tent. Use the integrated markings to guide your tent's position if desired. Ensure it is laid flat and taut.
- Drape the smaller section under the canopy area, aligning it with the tent's front or side porch.
- Pitch your tent as usual, ensuring the tent's groundsheet sits on top of the protector.
Compatibility:
This groundsheet protector is specifically mentioned to work with Vango tents such as the Avington Flow 500, Avington Flow Air 500, Avington II 500, Cumbria 500, and Harris 500. While it can be used with other tents, ensure the dimensions are suitable to provide adequate coverage without significantly overlapping the tent's own groundsheet.
Care:
- After use, shake off loose dirt and debris.
- If the groundsheet is wet or muddy, allow it to air dry completely before packing it away to prevent mildew.
- Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Store in its original carry bag in a cool, dry place.
