Tarptent Tyvek Groundsheet

The Tarptent Tyvek Groundsheet is a light, durable, and waterproof ground protection layer for your ultralight tent — and a favorite for cowboy camping under the open sky. Made from genuine 1440R Tyvek (“Tyvek Housewrap”), it shields your tent floor from abrasion, moisture, and sharp ground debris, trip after trip.

Why choose a Tyvek groundsheet?

Tyvek groundsheets are heavier than Polycryo, but significantly more durable. While ultralight plastic footprints need regular replacement, a Tyvek groundsheet will typically last the lifespan of your tent — and beyond. It's the "buy once" option for hikers who value reliability on rough terrain.

• Durable – resists punctures and abrasion far better than thin film footprints
• Waterproof & breathable – blocks ground moisture without trapping condensation
• Non-absorbent – shake it off, pack it up, no soggy weight penalty
• Multi-use – tent footprint, cowboy camping pad, gear tarp, pack liner base

Cut it to fit your tent

One sheet, any shelter. Tyvek cuts easily with scissors and doesn't fray, so you can trim a full or half sheet to precisely match the floor of your Tarptent — or any other ultralight tent or tarp setup. A groundsheet cut slightly smaller than your tent floor prevents rainwater from pooling between the layers.
