How to Choose the Right Picnic Mat

Picnic mat - small

Our small picnic mats are the most affordable option of the lot!

This one is suitable for two with plenty of space for your items and food.

If you need a more detailed measurement, the size is 140cm x 170cm!

It is available in four different designs to cater to both those who prefer simplicity and those who love abstract designs and bright colours.

Our mats are insulated, abrasion-resistant and water repellent to protect from moisture in the soil.

The best part of this range? It is compact, easy to carry around and you just need to fold and roll them and secure them with two straps after use!

Picnic mat - big

Our big mats have properties that are exactly the same as the small ones above. 

The only difference is in their sizes and designs!

It gets a little tricky here - try not to be confused. 

There are two different measurements for the big mats - one design in 170x210cm, and two other designs in 190x190cm!

Ground sheet

This is a totally different type of mat compared to the two above.

Some of you may be able to relate this during your army days!

Available in two different sizes - 2x2.5m and 3x4m, our groundsheets are super huge so they are definitely suitable for big families or gatherings.

Plus point about them compared to the mats mentioned above: they're also waterproof, easy to clean, and puncture-resistant!

They also come with metal eyelets at the corners so that you can peg the sheet to the ground (pegs have to be bought separately, though!).

We hope that this guide helped you in choosing the kind of picnic mat that is suitable for your outdoor activities.

Now, get planning on that picnic date or day out by the beach - and add your picnic mat to your to-bring list while you're at it!
