Ultralight shelters take a beating for how little fabric they’re made of — most tears and seam failures are a clean fix, not a retirement.
Torn tarps, blown-out bivy seams, ripstop punctures — if you searched tarp repair near me or bivy repair, this is the shop. Backcountry and river-trip shelters both come through the bench regularly. Send a photo, real quote inside 24 hours.
Patched to match the weight and weave as closely as possible so the repair doesn’t turn into the next failure point.
Reinforced stitching on blown seams, plus seam-tape guidance if that’s part of the issue.
Torn-off tie-outs and guyline loops re-anchored to fabric that’ll actually hold tension.
Bivy and shelter door zippers repaired or replaced the same as tent zippers.
Text a photo of the damage — I can usually tell what’s involved from that alone.
I’ll come back with an honest number and a turnaround date. No estimate fee.
Bring it to Montrose, box it up and ship it, or arrange pickup — free in Montrose, Olathe & Delta, small route fee elsewhere on the Western Slope.
Most jobs turn around in 3–7 days. I’ll tell you the real date when I quote it.
Before-and-after photos from actual jobs that have come through the shop. More go up here as new work wraps.
Photos from tarp and shelter repair jobs are getting added to the portfolio. Text a photo of your own project and it might be the next one up.

Both — bivy seams, zippers, and fabric tears are the same category of work as tarp repair.
Heavier canvas tarps are actually the easier end of the job — the same walking-foot machine that handles wall tents handles ranch and camp tarps.
3–7 days on most jobs, same as everything else in the shop.
