Hi, I am a newbie on this forum. Does anybody have any advice on adding extra elastic pegging points to a tent flysheet?  My Rage Alta 4dx is a great tent but I would say some additional elastics would improve it and make it a little less drafty.

Welcome to UKCS stoppercoach.


One way of attaching extra lines or elastics is to use Clingons, a reusable eyelet.

If you use the UKCS search button you will find lots of info about Clingons.

Here is a Clingons search to get you started.

Sewing little nylon tabs with an elastic hoop through should be quite easy too I would of thought.

Thank you for your welcome and your help 'sceptical camper' . I have done a few searches and looked at some reviews about clingons and I think that is the way to go for me. I am impressed.

Thanks also Gareth29 for your idea but not sure I could trust my sewing ability so clingons it is.

Admin please delete if this is too necro, but...

came here looking for the same advice about sewing extra pegging points to the side of a shelter that flaps too much.

Clingons now seem to be have been rebranded as Holdons, and their website is here:

https://www.holdon.com/

I've ordered eight of the midi size as they look useful for many tasks, I'll let you know what I thought of them once they arrive, and have been used in anger.

OK they are a bit bigger than I anticipated, but look to be sturdy, well made, and they do the job they are meant to do. I might try the smallest size they make just to compare them, but the extra pegging points on the Alpkit Polestar do a great job of reducing the flapping in the flysheet.

Very handy.
