The tipi is a versatile structure, which is becoming increasingly popular as a spacious alternative to camping in an ordinary tent. Naturally evoking a communal spirit, in touch with nature. Tipis provide a fantastic space for a variety of purposes such as camping, workshop space, communal events or your own personal garden retreat.

Their circular shape reflects the natural cycle of life from planetary movements to the changing of seasons. It is a hypnotic experience to lie down in a tipi gazing up at the apex of the poles and seeing the stars through the smoke flaps.

All our tipis are hand made following the traditional Sioux design using 12oz cotton duck canvas and are built to last with attention to detail.

The canvas is fully waterproof and comes as either fire retardant or rot and water proof.

Tipis are made to order in various sizes, a choice of coloured canvas is available adding warmth and interest to the front tipi cover. Please call us to discuss these options.

Tipis consist of three main parts The Cover, Lining and Poles.
Linings keep the tipi snug in Winter and aid the draw of the fire.

Douglas fir poles are sourced by my partner Luke, from sustainable local woodland.

All tipis come complete with pegs, lacing pins, sisal rope and bags.

SIZES

Tipis start from 12ft to 30ft upwards, the size you require will depend on how many people will use it and what space you have to pitch it.

Consideration should also be given to the size of the vehicle which will be used to transport your poles.

 

		sleeps		capacity			average pole length
12 ft		1 - 2		1 - 6			16ft
14 ft		2 - 3		6 - 8			18ft
16 ft		4 - 6		8 - 10			20ft
18 ft		6 - 8		10 - 12			24ft
24 ft		12 - 14		30 - 35			30ft

Pole length is really down to choice. The above is a guide as to the lengths we use taking into account the ease of transportation.

ACCESSORIES

Adaptation to precipitous climates has led to the development of the rain hat devised by the inhabitants of Tipi Valley, Wales. This stops torrential rain from entering through the smoke flaps whilst not obstructing their function of drawing the smoke up from the fire.

Groundsheets, rainhats / raincatchers are available, please ask.

We can deliver tipis and help you to erect them for an extra charge.

If you would like any advice please call us to discuss your requirements.

We also specialise in smaller kids tipis.
