Window Flapping Fix

[dickinson]

Hi all,

I have three yurts on my property that are about 10 years old. Currently we tie the window cover flaps to the base of the yurts in three places (one on each corner and one in the middle) with ropes. This has worked for a while but with harsh storms some of the flaps have torn where they are tied down. Additionally, higher winds make the windows flap and bang against the walls.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I was thinking about retrofitting zippers onto them, but I don't see a way that I can sew the zippers in without taking off the canvas walls which seems like a lot of work. The noise from the flapping windows can be stressful when trying to fall asleep!

I greatly appreciate any and all thoughts!
