gerissen (ripped)

It seems to me that the material has come away along the seams - i.e. not a tear per se, but an inadequate seam structure. So I'd go with something like

"The tent fabric has frayed along the seams and therefore there is a hole in the roof"

Der Zeltstoff ist entlang der Nähte ausgefranst und deshalb entsteht ein Loch im Dach

Not about the German but about the hole in the roof: I see no hole in the roof. What I see is that blue bit ripped off and I'm trying to figure out what that blue bit is meant for?

No there isn't but that blue bit is ripped off badly and I wonder what it is meant to be there for?

The blue fabric does look rather strange there. The material looks much lighter than the rest of the tent construction and it looks like part of a long, narrow band. I guess it is some sort of marker piece which was used during the construction of the tent, but was intended to be removed at the end of the process.
