Is there anyone out there in Ukcampsite land that know how to repair holes in awnings??

Our's has 2 holes in it, one in the grey material and the other in the burgundy. Is there a way that the holes can be patched like you would with an inner tube for a bike? or would it have to be stitched?

Hi,

I have just repaired a simailar problem with our awning (4 inch split). Iused "stormsure" . You put tape on one side and put stormsure on the other side. its a sort of rubbery, waterproof, strong solution not a patch. When dry in 12 hours take the tape off and you have a neat permanent joint.  Its used for fabric and wet suit repairs. Time will tell I suppose but so far I am pleased with it. Cost about £5.

hi is this it?
