Was instructed by M to get a patio mat for the dome before our first trip out next month. I know that the dome has a footprint of @ 9 x 11, so my question for those of you that have and are using a patio mat with the dome: 6 x 9 size or 9 x 12 size? ------------- P & M ... and Comet too! 2012 171 -- The Monkey Pod 2018 Ram 2500 |

Here's a link you might want to look at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002W2W2K/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002W2W2K/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 We just used this particular mat for the first time last week. As Seanl said, it protrudes a foot or so past the 'Dome, and doesn't quite span the entire width, but anything smaller would not be worth it, and anything larger, IMO, would be unwieldy. It packs nicely into the optional storage bag and sweeps clean for storage and next use. We really like it! (edit)- We also got the stake-downs. The weave is tight enough to do the job, but allows for tent stakes to be driven through the mat at strategic points if you need to restrain wandering Cocker Spaniels. ------------- Bob and Joyce Jennifer and Baxter, the Campin' Cocker Spaniels RP 177 "Key Pod" Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT / Z71 |

| We bought the 6x9 which left room around the edges. The little bit of room was enough for the dogs to dig holes in the dirt and create a mess. I would go for the one that is bigger. |
