WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?
Our tipis can be heated in the cooler months, and offer excellent shade for the warmer months. They are made from waterproof canvas and we lay a waterproof membrane layer underneath the matting flooring. Do to their structures, our tipi tents are the strongest tipis in the wind, so you are in safe hands. Our tipis can be used all year round, wind, rain and sun are no problem for our teepees!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RENT A TIPI?
Tipi tent hire start at £1520 for a single tipi event. This is inclusive of VAT; Fairy lights down each pole; up lighters in the tipi and matting flooring throughout.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TIPI AND A TEPEE?
Historically, all of these structures are a cone-shaped tents made from animal skins draped over wooden poles, but modern-day tipi tents are covered in canvas instead. These structures all can be quickly assembled and dissembled in keeping with nomadic lifestyles of indigenous people of the plains of North America, Northern Europe and Asia. Tipis are very similar to a teepee, but are distinguished by the addition of smoke flaps at the top tipi tent.
