mountain hardware spear gt 2 tent

[jags]

hi all happy new year one and all.
would anyone know where i could buy a footprint for this tent and how do i get my hands on an owners manual.
i bought it second hand last week very happy with it so far only pitched it yesterday for the first time ,but it really needs the footprint.
one last question has anyone got one of these tents if so give me a quick rundown please on the best and fastest way to pitch it thanks.

owners manual no idea, but for footprint I use reinforced plastic sheeting

Have you Googled for stockists and approached them?

I've seen folk mention using tyvek elsewhere. I use polythene builders damp proof membrane cut to size to do the job.

thank's lads i would rather have the proper material for the groundsheet less noisy , besides would the builders plastic not be a bit on the heavy side .
i did try to email a few company 's including mountain hardware but no luck i'm afraid.

Some lightweight campers use secondary glazing film as a groundsheet protector. It's a fair bit lighter than the proper ones, and surprisingly tough.

thanks for that andrews i will check that out .

For myTN Lazer comp. I went into my local poundland and found a nice green Patio table cover they were selling for £1.00 a few minutes work and it was cut to shape for the inner. all done and dusted, not very heavy and provides just thats extra proctection need for a lightwieght tent like the lazer comp.

With my Vaude Hogan which come with a footprint, i have never used it, and I camp out on the mountians and hills and after 3 years of hard use it not had the floor sheet punctured.

Pop into B&Q and head for the building supply dept. There have some big sheets of tarping. I got one for my Vango Banshee 300, about £5.

I use one of the woven blue tarps, mine cost me £2 and is really light, I think pound land have started selling them, if it does get damaged thow it in bin and get a new on np
