 SIOUX TIPI |

You won't find a more authentic Sioux-style tipi unless you create one by hand. Comfortable, roomy and well-ventilated, the tipi's design sheds the rain or snow, and it stays standing in high winds. The smoke flaps are adjustable. For optimum performance, we recommend using a liner.Available Diameters:

Tipi Liners
The Tipi Liner is three pieces of canvas sewn to follow the contour of the bottom 6 ft. of the tipi. The liner is used in the summer to provide the needed upward flow of air for ventilation and also to help draft smoke from your fire up through the smoke flaps. In the winter, the liner provides an insulation barrier against the cold and wind as well as the drafting qualities for the smoke from your fire.
The liner hangs from a rope you would string from pole to pole around the inside of the tipi. The bottom 6 inches can be left on the ground to keep out cold winds and any small critters that may be wandering the area.

Tipi Liner Setup Instructions
The tipi liner comes in three (3) sections. There may be one section that is larger than the other two. One long rope is included. Wrap the rope around each pole about 5 1/2' up from the ground. Start at a door pole and go all around the tipi to the other door pole. Lay the liner sections out seam side up. Center the largest section on the side opposite the door opening. Lift the liner section to tie the top ties to the rope. Start the next section where the first section ends. The liner can hang straight down, be staked down, tied to the poles or another rope wrapped around the bottom of the poles.
Item No:
An Ozan is a drop ceiling for the back part of your living area in a tipi. It is to be placed above the liner and will help to keep the the living area warm and dry. The ozan accomplishes this by shedding the water behind the tipi liner. You can also hang another piece of fabric (maybe a colorful one) and use it as a privacy shield. This can also keep bugs out of the back compartment while you sleep. You can use it as your sleeping quarters.
Tipi Erection Instructions
The length of the poles should be 4' to 5' longer than tipi diameter. Open the cover out flat, right side up (the smoother side of the seam is the right side). Select 3 of the strongest poles for the tripod. One pole is laid on the cover, with the butt end next to the door, even with the bottom hem and the other end extending past the tie between the smoke flaps. The other two are laid on the cover, side by side, approximately one-third of the distance around the bottom of the cover. Once again the butt end is even with the hem and the other end extending past the tie at the top. Tie the three poles together at a point approximately 15" above the point where the poles cross each other. The poles should be tied together firmly, but not extremely tight. When the tripod is setup, the knot will tighten and if it is too tight, the result could be broken poles. The poles should be tied with a rope long enough to reach the ground plus 4' or 5' extra, so that it can be staked down in the center of the tipi in the event of strong winds. The tripod is then set up by walking under the poles. Spread the tripod apart so the ends are spread evenly in the approximate diameter of the tipi. Starting at the front, stack the rest of the poles in the crotch at the top. Save the two longest poles for the smoke flaps and leave one pole out directly opposite the door. Take hold of the rope hanging down from the tripod poles and walk with it to the outside of the frame. Walk the rope around the circumference of the tipi poles three times to wrap all the poles together at the crotch. The remaining length of rope should then be brought back inside the frame and staked to the ground at the center.
The cover should now be rolled up from both sides to the center, having the tie at the top exposed. Slide a pole under the cover, using the tie at the top. The butt of the poles should be even with the bottom of the cover. Have someone hold the butt end to the ground and lift the pole and cover into the open spot left at the back of the frame. Unroll the cover around the frame. Starting at the top put sticks in the holes that hold the front of the cover together. The left side goes over the right side. Stake the bottom out and adjust the poles so the cover lays smooth. Put the ends of the two remaining poles in the pockets (or slits) provided at the top corners of the smoke flaps.
