Choosing the right caravan annex mat really is key to getting the most out of your outdoor adventuring. Not only will it substantially extend your living space once parked up, it'll set the stage for entertaining, dining, story-telling, play time and just general horizon gazing. Some of the most memorable times when camping and caravanning are spent on the annex mat, relaxing after a full day of hiking or fishing, exchanging tales, chatting and laughing, enjoying meals, making new friends.
And your annex matting doesn’t have to be drab in order to be durable. You might elect to use mats that are brightly coloured with bold graphics or opt for something that is subtle in design (think geometrics) and soft on the eye in terms of colour. Visually pleasing, yet tough, an annex mat that can bring a sense of fun and peace to your outdoor experience and extend the good vibes from the inside out - or the outside in! - is the ultimate travel companion.
It also goes without saying that the annex matting you choose needs to not only be functional and sturdy, you'll also want it to complement your set-up and be a reflection of your personality. Thankfully, here at Recycled Mats we have arguably Australia's biggest and most diverse collection to choose from, ranging from 1.8m square picnic mats right up to a whopping 2.4 x 7m! But choosing the right annex mat doesn’t need to be difficult … you just need to keep a few basics in mind.
The main thing to consider when selecting annex matting is SIZE. Your awning fabric length will inform your decision when it comes to this but you should also think about how the annex space will be used and by how many people.
Most folks opt for an annex mat that fits under the shade and protection of their awning and whilst it might seem like a good idea to have your mat extend beyond the size of the annex, keep in mind that we don’t recommend that you expose your mat (or part of it) to continual, direct sunlight. If you do want additional “floor” space on social occasions that extend beyond the annex, you might consider adding an additional smaller mat for this purpose – one that can be easily brought back indoors without having to disturb the larger annex mat.
