Tent Flooring

Is it worth shelling out the extra money to get flooring for the entire tent?  I'm worried the ground could be soggy if there's rain.

Re: Tent Flooring

  • IMO, no. Flooring is really expensive. How wet are you anticipating it being?  I got married in the middle of one of the rainiest summers Vermont has ever seen, and it was fine.  They came to put the tent up on Wednesday morning for a Saturday afternoon wedding, and there were no problems.  It rained every day the week before the wedding but the ground under the tent was completely dry.

  • Thanks for your input.  It's comforting to know that it rained before your wedding and the ground under the tent was fine.  I guess I can put that money towards something else :)
  • I agree with not paying for the flooring...Our wedding reception will be tented, and while there will be a dance floor the rest will be grass.  But they put the tent up days before to make sure that the ground is completely dry for your reception.
  • We only had a dance floor, the tables & chairs were on grass.  It rained for like two months straight before our wedding, but the grass was fine.  I'm glad I didn't pay extra for flooring.
