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.

On the campsite
Floor and vestibules together cover 88.2 × 95.7 in. On a square tent pad, as campgrounds list them: 8 × 8 ft: fits; 10 × 10 ft: fits; 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 86.2 × 52.7/47.2 in.
Notes
Floor 88.2 × 54.7/49.2 in, 42.9 in peak, two D-shaped doors with small 4.3 ft² vestibules. Pre-bent poles keep the walls near vertical. Its packaged weight includes the footprint that comes with it.

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.
