Ugh. Sorry to hear it. Duct tape is good for a few months at best
before the adhesive oxidizes into a useless and unsightly crust. I
wouldn't use it for anything except temporary fixes, especially
outdoors.

I have used, many years ago, vinyl repair liquid like this:

Patches using this aren't pretty but would be at least waterproof-ish.

Or consider E-6000 adhesive and a big patch of weather-resistant vinyl.
