That’s a good plan. We are using the tent in a fortnight for a stately home firework display weekend so I could do a practise run with gaffa tape.
I do have some heavy duty stick on Velcro but had promised it to a friend and hate to go back on my word, so will try the tape idea.
I have to say that I’ve had my tent for about 14 years and have always loved it, the Scottish midge issue is the only time I’ve had doubts about anything getting in. I’ve just bought some tent safe insect repellent spray so hopefully we are well armed to prevent being eaten alive. Thanks for the advise.
