Hi,

I have just today managed to split the roof of our new (used) awning practicing putting it up - (a pole went though it)  nightmare !, the split is in the roof and about 6 inches long.

Can anyone advise the best way to repair it, some sort or repair tape maybe ?

Hi

I used "Stormsure" and it worked a treat. Cost about £5

There is a website on here or maybe the CC that gives you advice on which Awning to go for, at the back of this site it gives you a list of companies that carry out Awning repairs, you will no doubt have somebody reasonably close to you, hope this helps and in the meantime I will look for the mentioned website,

best regards, Martin

Our previous awning started to tear at one of the corners - where the fabric was under stress.

I phoned Dorema and they posted me some small matching fabric scraps from their factory.  I stitched the tear with a sewing machine (3-step zig-zag)  Mr Ulti-mates then glued the repair patch onto the area and we sprayed it with Fabsil to waterproof it too.

I have since sold the awning, but have every confidence that the neat/discreet repair is still holding good.
