Thank you Alex for your comprehensive reply. It confirms what I suspected may happen with a foam mat. I have used a small tarp but sometimes it gets gathered up as the scope turns in azimuth and then fouls. My concern on bare grass is moisture getting into the feet which even on an SDM only seem to have the merest hint of paint. The electrics are also very close to the wet ground.
Thank you also Malcolm and Allan for your input.
I would have thought that some thin waterproof carpet type material may be best. I will cast around a bit more.
