Hi can anyone help.

We recently went camping and unfortunetly a child rode his bike into the back of our cabanon canvas tent, ripping the 'skirt' area near the ropes. It was only the tents 2nd outing, and if possible I would rather repair it than buy a new one. Is anyone aware of any good canvas tent repairers in east anglia who we can contact?

Regards

JulieF

There are a few good tent repairers nationally - I'm not sure about East Anglia.

Have you asked the shop you bought it from to recommend one?

Julie, I can't beleive how calmly you have written this! I would simmer for months over something like this .

Did the child's parents offer any payment to try to make amends? MT
