When you have a swamp cooler then you will know that you should have a cooler which helps protect your vent but it can be damaged. So if you find that your cover has been damaged then you could fix that so read on and you will find out how to do so with a few simple steps.

What you are going to need:

1. Utility Knife
2. Heavy Duty Thread
3. Duct Tape
4. Sandpaper
5. Silicone or Epoxy
6. Sewing Needle

You firstly need to know how bad your swamp cooler cover has been damaged; if it is only small then it should be easy to repair but if it isn’t then you are going to have a long repair job on your hands instead. You could use silicon to fix your cover or if you have canvass then you could repair that by sewing.

If you find that your damage is extensive then you are going to have to think of what else you are going to have to do. If your cover has been damaged too much then you should think about getting it fixed professionally or even getting a new one put in.

Your second step will be to patch up any damages to your area; now if you find that your plastic has been damaged then you need to get some sandpaper and sand down around the wooden edge and then get your utility knife to take out the damaged area. You could use some Epoxy because that will harden and will be more secure but you need to make sure that you have area covered that needs to be.

You need to prepare your plastic when you are going to be using your silicone; you need to make it into a glue substance and then take your broken piece and glue it. You need to make sure that the silicone has been distributed evenly around the area and after this you should get some duct tape and cover what has been damaged.

You should think now about fixing your damaged Canvas Covers; if you have these canvas covers then you are going to want to try to repair them. You could do this be sewing up which part has been damaged and using some duct tape to make sure it is secure; you need to sew your canvas but by hand and not on a machine or it won’t work so make sure that you have repaired what has been damaged. Then you just need to apply some duct tape to the area in which the damaged was created.

You should think about replacing your entire cover if you find that it is not going to be able to be repaired or is not is a good condition. You don’t want to lose a lot of heat because the vent cover isn’t working and that it is letting air out then you are going to have to get the same one as before; you should think about going to the store in which you got your swamp cooler and making sure you get the right cover which is going to be the same size as your first one so that it will fit.
