Hi all,

I have recently bought the Coleman Coastline 6 tent.

It appears to be one of the few tents that does not have any hanging loops for lights from the ceiling.

If i attached a velcro loop to the roof would i damage the tent?

how to attach, superglue?

cheers

Hanging loops are usually sewn into a seam , so i dont know if it work sticking a loop onto the fabric.Might not be strong enough to hold the weight of the light if its not sewn in.
I would try tenacious tape though, not glue .

can you hang lights from the bedroom pod elastics ?
I hang ufo lights from them , and also tie them on any loops at tops of windows, the bits for rolling up the curtains

Thanks Debbie, good idea.

Just a bit cheesed off the tent doesn't have one for a light in the middle. I too have the UFO lights.
