Why choose a tipi?
A teepee is more than just a tent: it's a timeless structure designed for comfort, versatility, and a deep connection to the earth. Here's why our customers choose a canvas teepee over a conventional shelter:
-
All-season comfort : The conical shape and inner lining system regulate air circulation, maintaining a comfortable temperature in summer and winter.
-
Indoor Open Fire: Enjoy the unique experience of cooking and warming yourself around an open fire in complete safety. It is also possible to install a wood-burning stove for winter.
-
Portable and Durable: Unlike permanent structures, a teepee can be assembled, disassembled and moved easily.
-
Authentic and aesthetic: Whether for a backyard retreat, an eco-resort, a festival, or a meditation space, a teepee brings a touch of history and beauty to any environment.
-
Spiritual and Cultural Heritage: Rooted in Indigenous traditions, the tipi is a sacred space that fosters creativity, mindfulness, and connection with oneself and others.

How to get teepee poles
Poles are the backbone of your teepee , ensuring its stability and shape. We can help you source them, but we encourage you to make them yourself.
If you prefer a turnkey solution, sawmills, forestry suppliers, and teepee retailers often offer poles that have already been debarked, sanded, and treated, available in various lengths. Choose a wood that's both lightweight and strong, such as lodgepole pine, spruce, or cedar.
For DIY enthusiasts, making your own teepee poles can be a rewarding experience. It involves selecting straight trees, removing their bark, letting them dry, and smoothing their surface to ensure strength and ease of assembly.

Tipi Maintenance and Longevity: How to Make It Last
Investing in a teepee means choosing a durable and timeless shelter, but proper maintenance is essential to extend its lifespan. Here are some tips to keep your teepee in excellent condition:
-
Canvas
Waterproof and UV-protect to extend its lifespan. Keep it clean and dry to prevent mold and mildew. Store it in a dry, ventilated place. -
Poles
Keep poles dry to prevent rot. If left untreated, apply a natural sealant. Watch for cracks or signs of insect damage. -
Bad weather
Adjust the smoke dampers to limit rain inside. Secure the base with stones or a strip of ground cloth. In winter, add a lining for extra warmth. -
Cleaning & storage
Clean with mild soapy water. Dry completely before storing. Roll the canvas rather than folding it to avoid creases.
