Default looking for a tent carpet

I have a Coleman Instant Tent 8 (14'x10'). Our current weekend campsite is a sand bank on a local river. I'm looking for a carpet to fit the entrance to help keep sand in the tent to a minimum and also to give some insulation/padding for walking around. I'm looking for a carpet that's at least 10'x7' but no larger than 14'x10'. We're also using a tarp at the outside of the entrance to try and cut down on the sand, is there something that would be better suited for that also, like an outdoor carpet/mat?

Thanks in advance

I put a reed mat down outside the door of my tent then a small rug inside the door.

According to Europa Press reported sources Coordinated Emergency Service 112 in Andalucia, the incident took place about 18.10 hours on Saturday, when the fire started, for reasons that have not yet transpired in the said garage located on the street The Adelfas of the District Camp San Roque.

Walmart and Amazon sell these RV/ Camping/ Patio mats for under $50... walmart is actually closer to $45 ----> Amazon.com: Patio Mats 003 6' x 9' Beige Floral Pattern Reversible Patio Mat: Automotive

As long as there's not a lot of wind, and the sand is pretty well compacted, a couple of area rugs should do just fine. I don't think you'll be able to keep it all out.
