After a week camping in the recent high winds and heavy rain we are now having to carry out a few repairs to our tent.

Our outer fly has some ties that help to attach it to the poles, a number of these came off during the heavy wind and we need to reattach them, luckily the tent did not rip, the ties just came away.

I was thinking of sticking them back on with something i had seen on the internet called Stormsure/Stormseal, can anyone offer advice on whether this would work or an alternative solution,

Thanks

Hi Beth,

welcome to the forum!

If the ties are on the inside of the fly I would suggest sewing them on and using Stormseal to reproof the area after fixing, again from the inside.
It may be worth adding a few extra to prevent a re-occurrence.

If the ties are on the outside....I'm not sure what to do...

Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.

Thanks for that, they are on the inside, so will try as you have suggested
