first off, throw away those little
wires that come with a popup blind
and buy or make some real 12-15"
tent stakes. stake it down well and
use those guy strings they gave you
and tie those out and stake them as
well. i learned that lesson with my
first popup.
to fix any holes/tears use black
gorilla tape available at any wally
world. my primary blind is probably
about half gorilla tape now. and be
sure to do any repairs while the inside
is dry and free of condensation.
i've been getting about 5 years out of
the cheap popups i use. they stay out
sept. to jan.
good luck
