My floor is 49 1/2" by 46 1/2" and I didn't want the 3/4" gaps, so I spent an extra $10. Carpet nap would cover that.

I like carpet because you don't feel the little stones and twigs that invariably get traced in when camping. A whisk broom takes care of minor clean-ups and a car wash vacuum the major ones.
By the way, my carpet is 4 x 4 and is a near perfect fit. Don't understand why you'd need 5.

It's the stuff used in gym floors. Not elegant but bomb proof, and it comes out easily for cleaning and is warm to the feet. I got the 5mm (3/16") red dot, and now think the candy corn would be more fun. $8.50/ft, for 4' wide, so you need 5'.
