I'm hoping someone can help. We have an "Outwell" (Vermont) tent extension (porch) and following lots of camping trips last year with lots of wind & rain, 2 of the 4 extension guy ropes ripped away from the seam. We're starting to plan this years camping trips but need to find somewhere that will repair our extension. Anyone know of any repair centres (Locations: London / Hertfordshire / Essex) ?

Thanks

If you don't actually need the seam re stitching,  these cling ons could solve your problem . You clip these on and attach gulines to them .

Someone else may know of a tent repair place near you, but if its just a simple small seam repair, anyone with a sewing machine and a little experience of sewing could do this for you .You would  need to coat the repair with a dab of seam sealant afterwards .

Another option could be a cobbler. A friend of mine had an awning re stitched at our local one.

 "cling ons" look like they could do the job nicely and we can add guy ropes using these to help reinforce, thanks for link, very interesting. Also good to have spares in case of an other unexpected rips.
