Get clear answers on setting up, cleaning, and storing your Foxwing Mesh Floor Saver, plus how it handles sand, water, and dirt under your awning.
Quick answer
Set up the Foxwing Mesh Floor Saver by pegging it out under your Foxwing 180° or 270° awning, then clean it by shaking off loose dirt and rinsing with water—no special soap needed.
Why mesh instead of a solid mat
A mesh floor saver lets water, sand, and dirt pass through instead of collecting on top. That means after rain or a windy day at the beach, you spend less time sweeping and more time relaxing. The trade-off is that very fine dust can still sift through, so it works best on grass, sand, or gravel rather than muddy ground.
When the floor saver is not the right choice
If you camp on sharp rocks or thorny ground, the mesh can snag or tear. In that case, use a solid groundsheet underneath or skip the floor saver entirely. Also, the Foxwing Mesh Floor Saver is cut to the exact size of your awning, so it will not fit other brands or non-Foxwing awnings.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I set up the Foxwing Mesh Floor Saver?
- Unroll the mesh under your deployed Foxwing awning, align the corners with the awning footprint, and secure it using the supplied pegs through the corner loops. Adjust tension so the mesh lies flat without bunching. Peg the corners first, then the sides, to keep the mesh square.
- Can I leave the mesh floor saver out in the rain?
- Yes. The mesh is designed to let water drain through, so it will not pool like a solid mat. However, prolonged exposure to sun and rain may shorten its lifespan, so storing it dry when not in use is recommended. Shake off standing water before packing to prevent mildew.
- How do I clean the mesh floor saver?
- Remove loose debris by shaking or sweeping. For deeper cleaning, rinse with a garden hose and mild soap if needed, then air-dry completely before folding. Avoid harsh chemicals or pressure washers, which can damage the mesh. A soft brush helps dislodge sand trapped in the weave.
- Does the floor saver work on sand?
- Yes, sand falls through the mesh, keeping the surface cleaner. It is ideal for beach camping or sandy sites. Just be aware that small items like tent stakes or jewelry can also fall through and get lost. Keep small valuables off the mesh.
- Which awning sizes does it fit?
- The Foxwing Mesh Floor Saver is available in models cut specifically for the Foxwing 180° and 270° awnings. Check your awning model before ordering—one size does not fit both. Confirm your awning model (180° or 270°) before purchase.
