How to repair tents, awnings and tarps?(τεντες επισκευες)

Materials and processes

It is more and more frequent that tents are used for celebrations of any type of event, party, promotion, etc. PVC or PVDF tents come in all sizes: from circus tents and party tents to small tents for private use.

Its main advantage is that they are very easy to assemble and disassemble, therefore, the structure of the event is immediately prepared. Thanks to their many applications, they can be used for events, fairs, catering services, promotional stands and points of sale.

All this makes its use more and more frequent and over time it can lead to the deterioration of the material until it generates breaks or tears in the PVC or PVDF fabric . With some very basic maintenance tasks, it will give you a longer life and maximize the use of this item, since its high cost makes repair a viable solution regarding wear.

Some repair methods:

Hand sewing . We need to spread a piece of tape along the scratch and then sew it in with strong thread.

Patch or glue . One of the easiest ways to fix the canvas of, for example, an awning, is by applying a patch. For some types there are small patches that are perfect to repair any fabric break. We just have to cut out the damaged area and apply the patch applying any strong adhesive suitable for fabric. The only thing to keep in mind is that the patch must be greater than the size of our hole, so that it does not come off in the future.

Electronic heat sealing

Hot air . It is more effective and ensures a more durable and waterproof impermeability. Next, we show you how to repair tarps by manual welding .
First, the canvas should be placed on a smooth and stable area to work with greater comfort and safety.

Next, we will sand the edges of the broken area of ??the awning or canvas until the coating is removed to give it a better adhesion. We will carry out the same procedure with the patch that we are going to apply.

Afterwards, we will clean the canvas with water mixed with a cleaning solution. Once a minute has passed we will rinse it in water and let it dry for about three hours.

We started to use the tarpaulin welder. Once the patch is placed on the canvas, we will slowly pass over the hot air device until smoke appears, which means that it has been attached correctly. As we heat the different areas of the canvas, we will immediately go over the pressure roller.

QUEROTOOLS Leister offers you different manual welding devices: the small HOT JET S for fine materials, the proven TRIAC ST and AT or the SONORA S1 angle device . These products are completed with the corresponding nozzles and pressure rollers.

We will have to wait around half an hour before using the tarpaulin or awning regularly.
