Description
The floor should be the most water-resistant part of the tent. By putting pressure on the floor of the tent, it absorbs water into the tent through the fabric. This is why most floors are heavily coated with urethane for waterproofness. Look for a tent that has a one piece floor, it's less likely to seep water than a tent that has seams in the floor. You also may want to consider getting tents that have bathtub floor where the floor actually wraps up along the sides up to four to six inches from the floor level keeping the water out and alleviating of you having to dig trenches around your tent. The bottom of your tent is usually made of reinforced material that is thicker than either its rain fly or tent walls, the ground floor is an abrasive place. To prevent accidental punctures from rocks and the like, lay a plastic ground cover under the tent's floor. Its still not a bad idea to put a tarp under for extra protection. Tent floors made out of Polyweave are good for water repelling but can easily tear on sharp rocks. This is the same stuff you use to cover your trailer or boats.
