What would be a good footprint to use with this tent?

I recommend buying a tarp and cutting it to the size of the base of the tent, cheaper, easier and lighter. I've used this tent 32 times to date and in every weather including high winds. Can't go wrong with this as a solo tent.

I personally think that this tent doesn't need one. The floor is quite rugged and as long as you're careful where you pitch it, I doubt minor debris would penetrate the floor. If you really do want a footprint you'll have to make a custom one for yourself.

I wound up making one out of tarp. The brown / silver type that you find at a home do it yourself store. Pitch the tent, place it on the tarp, mark the outline and cut. I used webbing/strap material and used a gromet tool to attatch to the tarp and grommets on the strap to where the poles are. Came out trick and at a really good price point...

i see that your tent is 48" Wide by 24" Deep by 60"thats a fairly decent size and unless you are using low watt led and or fluorescent you are going to need a bigger fan, at least for the exhaust youll need a 4" blower fan minimum, 6" preferred like this: VenTech IF4 4" Inline Duct Fan 190 CFMand you can use 1 or 2 of these small duct fans as intake.

a tent, or anywhere you put it, needs to be 54" (4'6") or more. hope that helps.

If the footprint is really 10x17, it might be a little small, but most tents are really a little smaller than the footprint advertised, so ot would probably be okay.

I only recomend anchoring the feet that attaches to the legs, with some good heavy strong long stakes. You can mfind tent stakes that look just like a huge nail. I would not achor with cement as it will rust some metals. Cement ate up my wheelbarrow bottom. Great, strong canopy. Mel

I think you'd need the short bed tent. This tent fits my long bed dually perfectly.

shelter logic canopy top 12 x20 is a good option, you must secure with phone wires, that helped a lot. I never use the use the enclosure........ Anyway, the sun rays destroy the material and you must replace the canopy top every year!

Look for a heavy duty light stand. Buy one with a wide footprint. I think mine are cowboy studio. Many companies sell identical stands. For safety use a sandbag on the legs.

It doesn't come with a footprint. The bottom of the tent (and the first 2-3 inches of the sides) are a similar material to the rainfly, but above that is mesh. I just use a tarp beneath mine, with the excess tucked under (the tent has an unusual shape to it) and that works just fine. I have not tried it without one yet, and I suspect that (at least in the super wet area I live in) doing so might not go great.

Jennifer. No footprint. I use a cut piece of building wrap 3 inches smaller all around except at the corners where I cut holes with grommets to secure them to the tent body. It's better than a bought ons!

This should be fairly straight forward for anyone who has set up a tent before. If not, it still is a breeze. 1. place the tent on top of a footprint/plastic sheet if using one. 2. ensure tent is with doors up (zippers up) 3. the two long poles will go diagonally across the tent in an "X" pattern. They will clip into the pole grabber hooks along the edges of the tent. 4. clip the small pole perpendicular to the tent doors and to the top of the tent and into its end caps at the front and back top of the tent. 5. Stake down tent. 6. Attach rain fly over tent and connect the clasps to the tent corners. 7. Stake down or tree-tie the rain fly so rain will bead off of tent.

I did with a regular size (12 x 12 tent) I believe, but I quit doing it because it was cumbersome and not very good results. I bought a 2 light assembly Zykkor C082 Copy Stand, and that solved most of my problem. I bought it on Amazon. Chuck

I'm not sure what a tent footprint is, but I didn't buy any additional items. Everything was included. I only brought a robber hammer to hammer in the nails.

The foot print matches the tent perfectly, so you don't have any weird bulges or anything. We chose to go with the foot print over the tarp and were very pleased. With a tarp, the stake holes don't align perfectly, so you may have to bunch it up in certain places and such, where this was not an issue at all with the footprint.

I used a 4" inline exhaust 100 cfm with t5 light...that was enough to keep the tent at around 80degrees or less...if you are using hps...you might need a little more pull...intake fan isn't necessary...just a small clip fan to keep the air moving

The one I bought would not cover that large an area. It was perhaps 16X20" footprint and maybe 18-20" high.
