Best tent footprints: what to look for before you buy

A buying checklist for tent footprints, with what eBay buyers actually paid. We do not stock this type, so the advice is not steering you to our own product.

Buy a footprint cut slightly smaller than your tent floor, in a material that suits how much you carry. Overhang is the one mistake that gathers water under the tent.

What to look for: 7 checks

These are the points that separate a good tent footprints from a poor one, in the order they usually matter.

  1. Fit to the floorthe footprint should sit about 2 to 3 cm inside the tent edge. Any overhang channels rain under the floor.
  2. Fabricpolyethylene is heavy and tough, coated nylon packs smaller and costs more. Match it to whether you walk or drive in.
  3. Hydrostatic head rating3,000 mm or more suits a ground sheet. A rating below that leaks under body weight.
  4. Grommets or corner loopseyelets at each corner let you peg it to the tent poles. A plain sheet slides around.
  5. Packed weight and sizeweigh it. A sheet that adds 400 g is fine for car camping and silly on a long hike.
  6. Edge finishheat-sealed or hemmed edges resist fraying on rocks and roots.
  7. Universal sheet or model-specific cuta universal sheet is cheap but needs trimming, a cut sheet fits without fuss.
The mistake to avoid
  • A universal sheet that looks right in the listing is often cut for a different tent shape. Compare floor width and length in centimetres to your tent manual.

On 2026-11-01, eBay buyers paid a median of $35.00 for tent footprints (search "tent footprint"), across 802 sold listings. That is real money changing hands on eBay, which makes it a useful anchor when you compare asking prices elsewhere.

How to read it: the count is the sold-result total eBay shows for a search of sold and completed listings, and the median is from the first page of prices (about 60 listings, new and used mixed). It is not an Amazon price, it ignores shipping and condition, and it does not say what a given product is worth. A different spec will sit well above or below it.

Questions

Do I need a footprint at all?

It protects the tent floor from abrasion and makes it easier to pack away. Floors on cheaper tents wear faster without one.

Can I use a tarp instead?

Yes, folded so it is a little smaller than the tent floor. It is heavier but costs less and doubles as a shelter.
