Putting an Earthworks Tipi on your land is not complicated, but there are several considerations to keep in mind as you sketch out your tipi dreams.
You can place your tipi almost anywhere you have a patch of flat land. To take full advantage of the tipi’s deck design features, you’ll want to start paying attention to the prevailing wind patterns where you envision your tipi’s location.
Beautifully-integrated features include different fabric selections, poles, a liner to help ventilate and protect your interior from dew, a weather-shiedling ozan, bison-hide reinforced accessories, smoke flaps and other examples of aesthetic functionality.
Most people pitch their tipi directly on the Earth, but sometimes it’s nice to be on a hard surface, dry and off the ground. You can accomplish this by placing your tipi on a pre-built deck.
You may choose to keep the interior of your tipi open so as to not interrupt the full oval of living space, or you may choose to install a few walls to create a private bathroom or even a plumbed kitchen. Consider your plumbing and/or electrical needs as you plan your interior designs.
Most people pitch their tipi with the help of a few friends. The bigger the tipi, the more crew you’ll need. We send instructions with the tipi. If you live near our shop, you have the option of hiring our crew to pitch the tipi.
