Which pads fit

3 regular padsFits

An inch or more to every wall. Sit-up room +3.3 in.

3 wide padsDoesn't fit

They don't fit side by side: 2.4 in past the wall.

3 mummy padsFits

An inch or more to every wall. Sit-up room +3.3 in.

Pads side by side at their listed sizes, with the average man (5 ft 9 in) lying on each. "Tight" is under an inch to a wall or the sloping roof: the fabric gives, but a wet wall wets what touches it. Open it in TentCheck to try your own pads, cots and gear, or read how fits are checked.

Where 3 wide pads fit instead

On the campsite

Floor and vestibules together cover 90 × 120.1 in. On a square tent pad, as campgrounds list them: 8 × 8 ft: doesn't fit; 10 × 10 ft: doesn't fit; 12 × 12 ft: fits. Guylines and stakes need more room around that.

For a groundsheet, cut it a little smaller than the floor, about 2 in, so rain running off the fly doesn't collect on it and run under the tent: about 88 × 68/60 in.

Notes

Floor 90 × 70/62 in, 43 in peak, a door and a 9 ft² vestibule on each side.

Roof shapes are modeled from the floor, the peak and how the poles hold the walls, not measured. Treat a result within an inch or two as too close to call.
