TENT REPAIR & CARE FAQs

What is included in the canvas tent repair kits?

The canvas tent repair kits include patches, adhesive, a stitcher, thread and instructions for repairing various types of damage to your tent.

Are the repair kits suitable for all types of canvas tents?

Yes, these repair kits are designed to work with most canvas tents, but it's best to check the specifications to ensure compatibility.

What is the drying time for the adhesive?

Drying times can vary depending on environmental conditions, but typically it takes a few hours for the adhesive to set completely.

Are there any tips for preventing damage to my canvas tent?

Regular maintenance, proper storage, and avoiding harsh weather conditions can help prevent damage to your tent.

Can the spare door for the Timberline tent be used for other tents?

No. this door has been specifically designed for replacing on the Timberline Exchange 6M tent only. Both the tent and the door have matching Velcro and zippers that will not work with any other tent or door.

Why do you only have one stain remover and one waterproofing solution on your site?

After years of experience with quality canvas tents, we have tested many products and procedures for cleaning and treated them. We have found that the Iosso stain remover works best for spot cleaning smaller areas on the tent. When re-treating the waterproofing on your tent, there are many options, but again, we found that Dry Guy works very well and is easy to apply.

How often should tents be cleaned an re-treated?

This all depends on usage, location, and your specific tent’s condition. It is certainly best to stay on top of this as allowing your tent to become overly dirty, moldy, etc. will make it much harder to get it back to that “like-new” state.
