torn Nylon Tent
« on: July 26, 2011 »
I have an Urban Estate Himalaya 4 tent. The family uses it now and then but our dog got at it recently and there are some tears in the nylon material near the main door near the top. ( sorry about the technical terms!) Does anyone know of anywhere that repairs nylon tents. While the tears are too big for DIY patching I think it would mend well.  I live in Kilkenny but would be willing to travel or post the tent if possible.
All advice welcome
