I've bought a secondhand tent which is generally in good condition except that one of the pegging points on the sewn-in bathtub groundsheet is missing. Worse, it's one of the corner points (ie, one that you really want to peg, and not skip over).
Does anyone have advice on where I can source a replacement, and how best to fit it?
I actually have an industrial hot air gun which is supposedly up to welding plastic, though I've never tried. Plan A must be buy a replacement and weld it on. The main glitch here is I can't find where to buy one, and my googling for groundsheet pegs eyes etc just turns up ordinary grommets, which I obviously don't want to put through a tub groundsheet.
My plan B is to sew a ring on a shortish length of tape, sew the tape through the groundsheet and then deal with the groundsheet punctures (seam sealant or a patch inside, or probably both).
Does anyone have experience of a good alternative plan? It's a largish canvas tent, so sending it off for repair will be relatively costly just in delivery to and fro.
Thanks for any help.
This is what I have:
This is what is missing (from elsewhere on the tent)
