holes in my paddling pool!

[lucygates]

Last year I invested in a large paddling pool thinking it had at least a couple of years wear & tear!  This was before the mice got to it...  How can I repair the holes which, though not large, are to big for the single plastic patch supplied (which, by the way failed) ?

Many thanks

buy a very cheap paddling pool and then use that as a patch? what i mean is cut it up into the size patch u need and then ask at a b and q store or hardware store for some sort of waterproof sealant that would bond it to the other liner.

There must be some form of sealant as the patch that came with the pool must have had an adhesive

some people i used to know had a tarpaulin repair company (whose accounts had as many holes as your pool, but that's another story...) but they used patches of the same rubbery cloth, which they seales to the original tarpaulin with a hand held electric heat thingy - a kind of melting-melding, if you will. i would say ring an equipment hire shop and ask them about hand held stuff like that and find out...good luck!

Maybe the patches in a bicycle repair outfit would do the job
