Hi there,during the high winds over the weekend,the awning on my Florida 6 collapsed and this has caused a small hole that looks like a pencil has been pushed through the fly sheet,i have looked in the outwell repair kit that came with the tent and there are some patches,but i think these will stand out on the tent,does anyone know whether tenacious tape could be used as a permanent repair as i dont think this would notice.many thanks simon.

A lot of people have had success using TT its probably worth ago my idea would be to cut a piece of patch fabric just slightly bigger than the hole and TT it to the fabric from the inside and then TT it again from the outside

Tenacious Tape is a brand name for what is basically a very strong sticky tape.  It will bond to pretty much anything and is quite difficult to tear. 

It's very handy to have in your repair kit, but quite pricey at about £5 for a couple of metres.

Actually its not a couple of metres, its 20 inches by 3 inches wide. but in my experience , worth every penny.

I repaired a couple of holes in the roof where a pole snapped and its still watertight 2 years on .
I also used it on a ripped corner seam which was under a lot of stress because it was also a pegging point with great success.

Repaired a 3" rip that appeared in our porch one day, not had a problem with it since.
