HI, just got back from a long weekend's camping at the excellent Hendre Mynach site in Barmouth and I need some advice. Some inconsiderate git left a broken plastic peg in the pitch & we didn't notice intil it had poked a hole through the footprint & sewn-in-groundsheet of our Khyam Ontario 8 . I would like to repair the damage but I'm not sure of the best way to do this. I've searched through the forums but can't find any suitable advice. Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks

Stew

the only silly question is the one you do not ask.

Hi I would try McNett Tenacious Tape it worked on our awning and that was four year ago still going strong both on the roof and the mud skirts.

Michael & Jasper15.
thanks for the info chaps, I got some Tenacious tape and will try it as soon as I manage to get the tent dry again. I did notice while it's drying outside that there appear to be lots of tiny holes in the SIG, I'll just try patching the larger ones.

Many thanks for the replies..

Stew
