Re: Advice needed please (window patch)
Hmmm... I don't have any experience in the repair, but I do know you can buy window mesh of various types at your local home improvement store (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) We have some spare mesh due to jury-rigging a window screen at home. We used tape since our installation was temporary -- we were test fitting an window-mounted fan for ventilation.
Whatever you use to affix to the mesh, you'll want it to be able to withstand Texas heat. I learned the hard way (on a different project) that some tapes don't deal with our heat well and turn into a gooey mess.
I'm sure others here can provide more useful info, but I do know the mesh should be reasonably easy to obtain although all you need is a very tiny piece. In fact, you might be able to obtain a more reasonable amount of the mesh for your needs by checking REI.com or your tent manufacturer to see if they offer any tent repair kits... many include a couple small pieces of tent material and mesh for small tear repairs such as yours.
Hope this helps!
