No doubt bout it. That Sucks

Call customer service below and see what just the replacement canvas will run for it. Might not be as bad as you think.

That sucks.

I've had mice nest in them dryer sheets and moth balls are for moths

Deacon mouse and rat poison works good.

Yep, got new vents in mine too, despite the dryer sheet/mothball treatment. Gonna try iron on patches from walmart for the repair as the damage isn't too bad. Duct tape, my old standby, doesn't stick all that well in the current temps. At the end of this ice season I'll probably pull the canvas off and store in a varmint-free location.

When you store it you could buy some cats and turn it into a litter box. I know that will stop them fore sure Was that funny, I dont hear laughter...... No for real I had the same problem a few years back. I now hang mine in the air from the rafters. Just make sure they are dry or they will mold. If u have a cover keep a corner open.

I store mine up in the top of the shed. Made a shelf out of steel that is just under the roof of the shed so the hut is 6 feet off the ground on steel angle iron supports that they cannot climb. Been doing this for 3 summers now with no sign of mice.

You guys need some barn cats around! I can leave my shanties sitting on a pile of chaff in the hay mow w/ no mouse issues at all. It's my landing nets I have to protect (from fish craving, net eating cats!).

I have free barn cats and they are mean ones. PM me. Even this cold weather will not get rid of them.
