Is something wrong with your tent at the festival? You can repair it easily with Gaffer tape. Click here for the tutorial for different types of damage.
Level of difficulty : Original & quick
A loud “crack”, a little “whoosh” – so much for the tent! Luckily, many kinds of damage can be fixed with a couple strips of Gaffer tape, from torn fly screens and pole suspenders to broken loops and outer seams. That’s why this all-around tape needs to be in every festival bag.
If your tent window is torn, mosquitoes and friends have easy prey. 4 strips of Gaffer tape are enough to repair the tear.
First tape 2 strips of Gaffer tape crosswise over the tear from inside...
...then stick 2 strips of Gaffer tape over the other strips from the outside, and you’re done!
If your pole suspender tears, your tent loses its stability.
The solution: just take a piece of Gaffer tape as long as the tear and stick it over the tear.
Wrap tape around it tight and you’re done!
A torn loop makes it impossible to properly pitch the tent.
Take a strip of Gaffer tape and lay it on top of the tear with the adhesive surface pointing downwards. Make sure the strip is slightly wider than the loop.
Fold the protruding adhesive surfaces inwards...
...and now you can use the loop for hooks and other things.
If the fabric of your tent is damaged or one of your outer seams is torn, it can get pretty uncomfortable in your tent pretty quickly – especially if it is windy or storming. To fix broken tent material you will need a strong outdoor repairing tape
Cover the tear with a piece of Gaffer tape from the inside and outside, and you’re done!
