Just back from our 1st trip of the year in the new tent, thoroughly enjoyable and loved the tent (Gelert Horizon 8). The only problem is that the bottom of the doorways are open, all 3.

We tried closing it up with stick on velcro but that just came away and added to the draft. My OH came up with the idea of glueing the velcro to the door.  The question is, is their glue I can use or will it damage the tent. Or can anyone suggest anything else we can do to close up the doors.

Did the tent come with a repair kit that includes an adhesive?  If so that should enable you to glue the velcro without damaging the tent material - but check with Gelert first.

No there wasn't a repair kit, but will check with gelert to try and get one so should hopefully get glue with it.

Don't know if seam sealer has enough adhesion but you can get a product called Seam Grip which is supposed to be a good adhesive - that might do it.
