Tent Repair - Easily Fix Tears and Holes
Can a Tent Be Repaired?
Absolutely! Repairing and sewing a tent is not as difficult as it may seem. It can be frustrating when your tent gets a tear from a thorn or a burn hole from an ember, but instead of tossing out a perfectly good tent, why not fix it? Here, you'll find all the tent repair products you need to mend your camping tent. Repairing your old tent not only saves you money but also extends its life. Tent repair tape is ideal for sealing freshly sewn areas watertight and can also be used to seal seams affected by wear and tear.
How to Sew a Tent
Whether you're reinforcing seams or patching up a large tear, a sewing awl can help you stitch even through thick fabrics or fabric folds. Special sewing thread designed for tents is strong and can easily be pulled through the fabric. Larger holes or damaged zippers can also be fixed with a sewing awl and the right thread. After sewing, be sure to clean the area thoroughly, and depending on the size of the repair, treat it with a waterproofing agent or apply a self-adhesive patch for extra protection.
Tent Pole Repair
Repairing a tent pole is a bit more involved but still possible. Tent poles can be glued and reinforced with sleeves. Fibreglass poles, especially those used in tunnel or igloo tents, are susceptible to material fatigue from regular bending. While repairing "tired" tent poles can sometimes be a temporary solution, we offer a range of tent poles and frames for easy replacement. Simply swap out the broken segment to reinforce and restore your tent frame.
Tent Repair Kit and Tent Patches
Patching up your tent is easy with a tent repair kit. Whether your tent is made of cotton, polyester, or other synthetic materials, you'll find self-adhesive patches and matching fabric adhesives that are perfect for sealing holes. Repair kits vary based on the material, so be sure to know what your tent is made of before selecting a repair kit. A quick solution for minor repairs is repair tape. Simply apply the adhesive tape over the tear, and with the right materials, it will seal the hole watertight.
Replacing the Tent Window
Awnings and larger camping tents often feature clear window films or transparent plastic. After years of use, this material can crack and degrade. You can purchase replacement window film for tent repairs here, available by the meter. With a little effort, you can easily replace the old window film and restore your tent’s functionality and appearance.
Tip:Often, the peg bag is made from the same material as the groundsheet, and the packing bag is made from the same material as the tent tarp. So, you might already have the perfect patch material in your luggage! Add fabric glue, a sewing awl, and tent sewing thread, and you'll be well-prepared to handle any holes, tears, or other issues during your camping trip.
