Re: Tent Alterations

I have used Scottish Mountain Gear for repairs on a tent. Very good quality. Just allow about 4 weeks to get your tent back-may be faster over winter. They have an online booking service with pricing but you can also call them.

Re: Tent Alterations

Thanks...but ive tried www.scottishmountaingear.com and they replied that they dont do that kind of tent alteration.
I havnt tried Alpkit yet but will now, thanks.

Re: Tent Alterations

I tried Scottish Mountain Gear to Modify my Mountain Laurel Designs mesh inner to put partial nylon panels on it to stop the cold wind chill entering the inner on cold winter Scottish winter nights, but after giving them all the information asked for, they said they wouldnt do it.

On the 2018 Challenge I met Mike Turner of Turner Lightweight Tents which at the time of the Challenge was trialing his own tent.

After the Challenge we kept in touch and I gave me a loan of his prototype to try out. Some time later I ordered a tent from Mike and asked if he could modify my inner tent by adding solid panels to the walls.

This was done and Im very pleased with the result.

Im sure if you contact Mike, he will be more than willing to give it some consideration!

Re: Tent Alterations

Check out Terra Nova.
It may not be one of their tents but I know they've been helpful in the past with tent repairs.
Also Lancashire Sports Repairs in Burnley, Lancashire - highly recommended.
Good luck!
