Tent Getting Holes In Floor

Wife or children that are very concerned about insects snakes mice etc.

Tent getting holes in floor.

They say you can patch some bigger holes and i think it would be ok. A hole in the floor won t impact the performance or integrity of the tent so personally i wouldn t hesitate to throw some tenacious tape on there and forget about it. Cut a piece of repair tape to cover the hole and at least one inch of fabric surrounding it. That can come in a tent without a sewn in floor.

Go inside the outdoor camping tent and trim the hole into a square or rectangle giving a 1 inch clip to the corners. Turn those edges under pin into place and then stitch around the edge before adding a second line of stitching 1 4 inch in from that. Patches can come with a built in adhesive or you may have to apply some glue to fix it to the tent floor. If you have punctured a hole in your tent floor a patch may be the best option for repairing it.

On the exterior of the tent start by cleaning the area around the tear with rubbing alcohol and a rag. Sewn in floor prevents mice coming inside the tent. In either case make sure the tent floor is clean if there is dust or dirt on its surface it won t hold the patch. To finish use seam sealer all around the outside patch.

I have used mcnett other brands include gear aid and stormsure seam grip to patch some little holes on my tent and i like the result. Once dry the product is flexible and resistant.
