Hi Nessa,
Do you know if your tent leaked through the seams or through the
fabric? Most canvasses will swell when wet, sealing the fabric. I have
had some problems with leaking through the seams, and use a wax stick that
I rub on both sides of the seam to water proof the seams. Most camping
supplies will stock a seam sealer, and it's quite cheap.
