CORE Outdoor Tent Footprint for 11 Person Cabin Tent - Protective Tarp

In this review the CORE Outdoor Tent Footprint is judged as a simple, practical accessory for families or groups using the CORE 11 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent with Screen Room. The single biggest reason to buy is protection: this footprint provides an extra layer that helps keep the tent floor dry and intact when camping on rough or damp ground. The reviewer found it especially useful when setting up on rocky campsites or wet grass and notes the footprint packs small for easy transport.

Key Features

• Precise fit: Sized at 16'6" x 11'6" to line up under the CORE 11 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent with Screen Room for full floor coverage.
• Protection from wear: Adds a barrier against water, tears, sharp rocks and ground moisture to extend the life of the tent floor.
• Quick setup: Elastic loops on all four corners allow fast, secure staking so the footprint stays aligned under the tent during setup.
• Multipurpose use: Can be used for picnics, tailgates, painting or as a general ground tarp when camping away from the tent.
• Compact storage: Packs down to roughly 15" x 12" x 4" so it is easy to stow in a vehicle or gear closet when not in use.

This footprint is aimed at families or groups who own the matching CORE 11 Person Straight Wall Cabin Tent with Screen Room and want straightforward, effective floor protection.
