Seasonal pitch advice.

Hi, I have been using the 60 x 60cm interlocking tiles for years but only on hard standing pitches, my Isabella awning is 3m x 2.5m it takes 20 interlocking full tiles, not right to the edge but you then you don't walk along the edge of your awning. Flatten any stones as you lay the tiles, once done then lay the expensive carpet , theres no need to put anything under the tiles, carpet is protected and can walk in stocking feet, when removing just wipe any damp tiles down before storing away, I use one of those garden bags with a handle each side then using a cable tie to tie handles together, I store the bag on its side in the shower room while travelling.

That is what I ended up doing. Though I used a mismatch of tiles. Perhaps next year I might invest in a set.

Why do people insist on playing crappy music on their videos? As soon as I hear it, I switch to another video.

Too mean to buy a Licence from PPL PPS😉

If you put lino on top of the tiles, it will not matter if the lino gets wet and if the tiles are mismatched. On our seasonal we had a layer of thick plastic direct onto the ground, then the groundsheet, the tiles and finally lino on top with some loose carpets. We were living permanently in the caravan at the time and could stay on site for 10 months of the year. We were there for 2 1/2 years. For the two months we moved to another site onto a fully serviced pitch, but as it was winter never bothered with the floor stuff.

I want to keep it simple, (and cheap). I found that the tiles right onto the gravel, then Isabella carpet worked very well.

We have just gone seasonal. And yesterday we bought an Isabella Cirrus 400. It still needs putting up. We have a Bolon carpet for it, I know these are excellent. But we are looking for a bit more comfort underfoot. Some people on site have elaborate raised flooring. We are not going down that route.

One idea is to use interlocking foam tiles underneath, not sure how successful that would be, and I can’t find the big ones anywhere, just 2 foot square. That’s s a lot of tiles.

Amazon do budget breathable carpets, £29. But open to all suggestions.

I used the 12mm foam padded grass under carpet. it is very soft, light as a feather and very easy to store and un roll. Its supposed to go under false grass and has air holes in but works great for us.

Thanks, will look into that. We have artificial grass in the garden. The underlay that came with it was much thinner than that.
