Our tipis are made of a strong durable army duck canvas and treated against water, rot and fire. The tipi is sewn with double stitching and areas of stress are reinforced. The door has an adjustable opening for easy entry.

The tipi liner is an interior layer of canvas sewn to follow the contour of the bottom 5 - 6ft. It hangs from a rope strung from pole to pole. The bottom 6 inches may be left on the ground to keep out cold winds and small creatures.

It provides insulation, and helps to create the upward air flow that draws smoke from the fire through the smoke hole.

The liner is optional, but strongly advised if the tipi is going to be used in the winter. In summer the cover can also be rolled up at the sides allowing the sun to shine in and give a panoramic view of nature.

The liner also acts as a privacy curtain at night when silhouettes of people are created by the fire inside the lodge. The liner prevents others from seeing what is going on inside the lodge.
