Hi
Regardless what material your tent is made from the one thing we all must remember is to keep all furniture away from the tent sides on windy days it does not take long to ware a hole, blowing the side against the furniture, it got me a few years back in my little champagne and it cost £40 to repair it
So now when we go out or to bed I always check,
Rex.

You are welcome, they say we always learn by our mistakes, But I say it is cheaper to learn from other people mistakes.

Hiya,

That's good advice as I found out at Easter when I was in the kitchen tent and a huge gust of wind blew into the back of it and knocked the stove over!  Luckily there was nothing hot on it at the time.

I've had that too in my kitchen tent, knocked the whole kitchen stand over.  Glad I wasn't there at the time as it must have gone with a crash!
