Tent Getting Holes In Floor

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.

Tent getting holes in floor.

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. Once dry the product is flexible and resistant. Go inside the outdoor camping tent and trim the hole into a square or rectangle giving a 1 inch clip to the corners. Cut a piece of repair tape to cover the hole and at least one inch of fabric surrounding it.

On the exterior of the tent start by cleaning the area around the tear with rubbing alcohol and a rag. 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. To finish use seam sealer all around the outside patch. That can come in a tent without a sewn in floor.

Lay the tent fabric on a solid surface and remove the backing on the tape patch. Wife or children that are very concerned about insects snakes mice etc. Sewn in floor prevents mice coming inside the tent. They say you can patch some bigger holes and i think it would be ok.

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 round the corners of the tape the patch will last longer.
