CGear Sand Free mat or other?

[FCloud9]

We have the CGear large (10' x10') blue/green mat for two years and love it when we use a mat.
Works great at keeping the dirt outside and dries extremely quickly on the occasion it rains ( almost every camping trip).
The size is perfect under our 20' airstream awning with just enough room for two chairs and small table.

We have two CGear mats and one sold by ZipDee and we tend to use them all!
Ours are 4 years old now and other than holes from fire embers are holding up well. Awesome product!

Thanks, now with two Labs we have been looking for a "sand mat".

I have been very happy with this mat. Very durable, easy to clean, folds up small for a 9' X 20' rug.:

I ordered one (8' X 8') from Austin Kayak this evening for $59.00 with free shipping. I got blue, but they also had orange. The 10 X 10 was $79.00. I will try this one and, if it is as good as advertised, get another 8 X 8 to go with it.

Thanks! I just ordered one as well.

We got two of these mats based on feedback in this forum. They are beautiful mats and do stay clear of sand - goes right through. However, the fabric used for the border of the mats fails rapidly probably due to UV damage if left ouside all the time - within weeks. This same fabric is used to attach the D-ring holddowns. I have five of those D-rings in a bag from failures of the hold-down straps. These were not from high tension - they failed with a just a slight finger pull - the fabric had completely disintegrated. The fabric of the mat seems to be different and had not failed. I wrote the vendor trying to find out if a sailmaker would destroy the fabric by putting stainless grommets in it, but in a couple of tries on the web site I got no response at all. I found similar comments from some users when going back through the Amazon reviews. I will update this when we try the mat out with grommets in the mat - if they hold and don't destroy the mat, great. Otherwise, this is definitely poorly designed for long-term use as an RV mat.

I just received a size Medium of the Cgear sand free mats, in this linen-ey Brown, and am absolutely delighted with its very compact size folded up.

No grommets for attaching to the ground, but enough weight to it that it will hopefully not be an issue.

With sand and dirt, having something which reduces the tracking inside improves ones quality of life.
