On our recent camping trip we encountered high winds and the inevitable tent damage. This tent is fitted with strengthening rods and were bent, one of the small pockets that the rods were fitted into has just about detatched itself, most of the stitching has come away. Can anyone give me a name of a reputable tent repairer within Lincoln or Lincolnshire who can re-stitch this pocket or give advise on how to repair this properly

Many Thanks

Phil

I have a Lokon Vario 6 and very nervous in high winds, do you use the delta pegs or the normal pegs that come with it

I used the normal pegs having done so two of them came loose at the positions where the strengthening rods were located at the back of the tent. I would certainly advise to use something more substantial in the mentioned positions at least.

I have about 50 long pegs and 10 short pegs, I think I will need to get some delta pegs for next time
