Awning Rugs & Groundsheets
An awning rug, tent rug, or camping carpet – it goes by many names – is the perfect addition in front of mobile homes, caravans, and campers. Whether you choose a prefabricated option or buy by the meter, an awning carpet is essential for keeping your feet clean and dry under the awning or canopy. Additionally, tarps and waterproof groundsheets help keep the inside of your tent dry and clean.
Awning Carpets, Tent Rugs & Underlays
The Awning Carpet is essential for protecting your Caravan, Camper Van, or Mobile Home from dirt and sand. Tent underlays, rugs, tarps, tarpaulins, and groundsheets help ensure your tent stays clean and minimize the amount of dirt you bring into your sleeping space. Practical doormats featuring caravan and mobile home motifs also keep your shoes clean and offer a welcoming entrance to your camper.
The Awning Carpet: Ideal for Protection and Comfort
The awning carpet is one of the most popular choices for campers. Whether you're camping in summer or winter, an awning carpet helps block out heat while also insulating against the cold. It also ensures snow or sand stays outside your mobile home or caravan. When selecting an awning carpet, make sure it covers at least the area under the awning. If it’s too large, simply fold the edges to fit.

Which Awning Carpet is Best for You?
Choosing the best awning carpet depends on your camping preferences. Coarse fabrics with large mesh openings allow for excellent breathability, helping to keep grass healthy under your awning. Finer woven tent carpets are ideal for beach destinations, as they let less sand through and can be swept away easily. For wet conditions, waterproof groundsheets keep moisture out, ensuring your tent stays dry.
Flooring & Rugs for Long-Term Camping
New floor coverings, such as square tiles or plastic grids, are perfect for long-term camping, including winter holidays. These tiles are easy to install, providing sound insulation and excellent warmth. For winter camping, consider adding a heating mat between the floor tiles and the tent carpet as a floor heating solution for the awning, creating a cozy, dry living space even in harsh weather conditions.
Choosing the Right Size for Your Awning Floor
Berger awning carpets come in various pre-made sizes, including popular options like 300 x 400 or 300 x 600. If you need a custom size, you can order tent carpets by the meter or have them cut to your desired dimensions.
Groundsheet Options for Added Protection
Modern groundsheets offer improved protection and comfort. Soft, warm tent rugs provide a cozy atmosphere inside your tent or mobile home. For extra protection, consider waterproof groundsheets or tarpaulins with inflatable edges, which help keep rain and moisture out. The rim design ensures that your tent or awning floor remains dry and clean, even if puddles form.
Securing Your Awning or Groundsheet
To keep your groundsheet or awning rug in place, it's important to secure it properly. We recommend fastening the rug at the corners to prevent it from wrinkling or blowing away in windy conditions. A securely fixed rug ensures long-lasting durability and maximizes your enjoyment of your awning space.
Camping Tarps, Tent Tarps, and Groundsheets
Tarps and all-purpose tarpaulins are versatile camping essentials. These multi-use tarps serve as tent tarpaulins for weather protection, ground covers, or privacy screens. You can also use a tarp to expand your tent or awning by adding side panels or a roof. Awning tarps with integrated eyelets are particularly convenient, allowing easy attachment with cords or fasteners. Additionally, a groundsheet is perfect for preventing ground dampness and can be used as a floor mat for your tent.
