repair hole in shappell

[Guest]

I burned a half dollar size hole in the polyethylene wall of my portable Shappell with a lantern. What is the best way to patch this?

Hi Bocephusdog....
You might check at any outdoor retailer,
Gander Mtn, REI, Galyans or the like, see what they offer for a tent repair kit. Or call Shappell direct, see what they recommend. 1 888 571 1144 Good Luck !

Try iron-on patches found at a fabric store. One on each side.

Please let us know what they tell you. It's only a matter of time before I burn or cut a hole in mine! By the way, the customer service at Shappell is fantastic!

CALL SHAPPELL!

I called them and told them a friend tore the zipper a few weeks ago and they sent me a replacement cover, instructions on replacement, the special stapler to repair it, the staples I needed, AND the postage paid box to return the stapler.

Service does NOT get any better than this! Shappell user for life!
