How do you repair holes in the mesh when the dog(s) tear it?

I wish I could help but my dogs haven't gotten thru the mesh yet. Good luck

That has not happened to my stroller, but if it did I would use upholstery thread and string the ends together to hand tie the netting - almost like darning a sock until you can cinch it all together. Does that make sense? I've used that technique before with excellence results. Good luck :)

I would like to know also, because mine was torn when sent to me. There was no packing slip for return. I wrote but never received any response. Gingerreigel @aol.com

I repaired some mesh in a cat carrier using a combination of sewing mesh together reinforced by crazy glue. Worked great. Looks psychedelic!

Use a screwdriver or butter knife to pry up one side. Turn the pad over, it may be as good as new on the other side.

You could try contacting the manufacturer for a replacement piece... http://www.petmate.com/

Duct tape..if its real damaged, cut it in 2 with clean cuts then duct tape it. It worked for me

Not been fixed or addressed by manufacturer. Can't even use mine anymore since the rip in the mesh is too large.

Try spraying a little Teflon on the rope. The rope sometimes stick together from being wound too tight.

you can splice it, a barbed coupling (brass or plastic) would work fine. Any home center should them. Another way and I think better and easier is to use a piece of rubber hose whose inside diameter is the same as the outside diameter of the damaged hose. I had a piece of auto heater hose that was just the right size, 5/8 inside diameter. Cut out the bad place, slip the two ends inside the larger hose and put electrical tape around it. Works great.

No experience with tearing because I haven't had that problem. However, I am a seamstress, and I'm wondering if there isn't a type of fabric glue that would seal the edges and prevent further fraying. Check with a craft store such as Joann Fabrics or Michaels. Perhaps there are vinyl patches you could apply also.

The material is mesh like. Glue will probably come through all the holes. It stays in place own its own. If you still want to glue it maybe a spray adhesive like super 77

the best thing is roofing bull and membrain (mesh tape for roofs). spread bull around the edge add mesh tape to cover hole, more bull, more tape, more bull till yopu feel good about it.

If you bought new rivets you could. Don't think once you pry off these they would hold together again. These are pretty small tags. Good for a small to med size dog.

we thought about putting plastic over the opening. just glue it or screw it on top of hole like a door flap. but if you put enough hay inside they realy dont need it.joey

I've had the other type with zips for years and the cats slowly tear holes in the mesh and I eventually replace them when's there is too much duct tape on the stroller--but I can't image a cat who could tear a hole in one in a single effort, large enough to get out. The mesh is plasticized and doesn't readily tear, it requires concerted, long-term effort (which one of my cats is willing to expend.)

I have a lab/mix, he broke about 5 of the vertical rods, did not get out, but could have. I replaced the crate, and installed a wire mesh on the outside. No broken vertical rods since.

I have not heard of this. The bag part is not removable. I do not see a way of replacing the mesh either. You would have to buy new ones if they get damaged. I used mine quite a bit and they never tore or ripped. Just make sure you wash them really good.

I use a paper towel and reach inside the holes with it. If you have time, let it air dry upside down for awhile. If not, the paper towel will get it dry.

The animals do NOT make any sounds and the mesh netting is not very durable. Without a way to replace just the mesh netting we actually cut off the bottom half of the mesh netting once it tore and became unsafe for our little ones to use.
