I've been using just an old tarp to put on the ground under my awning, but it collected water and was hard to walk on in bare feet (since I could feel every pebble and small stick). Found this 6x9 mat and have used it twice. Great! Water soaks through and the mat has a bit of a "cushion" feel to it. Glad I got one. Had to hunt for a small-sized one though.
