Need help fixing door on fishing shany

(1/1)

bweck:
I have a two person Shappell shanty and the mice decided to use some of the material for nesting.I would say about 60 to 70 % of the door/end is gone.  Does any one have any sugestions on replacing the zippered door?
I thought about closing off the one side, but I have not found a good adhesive for plastic to plasitc.
Any suggestions to help salvage it would great.  Thanks.

LoneWolf:
I'm not sure what the Shappell covers are made of.If it is a plasticized material I would say hot glue it and reinforce with stitching.If it is a polyester or conventional fabric I would try Beacon Fabric Tac. My buddy had a similar problem with his old Fish Trap and the BFT worked great.  LoneWolf

Bob_D:
If there is a boat tarp repair shop around they can sew in a piece to fix it for you. They should have some material on hand that will work.

fishguts:
Try a local awning shop, they have the materials and equip. They should be able to help you.

Tim Kallinen:
Hey

I'd go with fishguts idea.  Those awning shops often have scraps they may give you.

GOOD LUCK :)
