Most modern tents are seam sealed which is what appears to be clear tape stuck on the inside along stitching.Mankysteve wrote: »Cant say I've ever had to do this on the many modern tents I've had.
Exactly how is the tent leaking?. Through the fabric or through a zip or seam?.
As above try the company. If a seam is leaking a simple repair may cure it.0 -
If the tent is poly cotton it is quite common for new ones to leak on first use, especially if they have been stored for a while.
The fibres get wet and expand when they dry out.
They should then be water proof
Best way to make sure you get no leaks on holiday is to erect the tent in the garden and give it a good soaking with the hosepipe on a sunny day.
OP, what tent did you buy?0
