The Tipis that we provide are sewn in our workshop in North Devon.  Our Tipi poles are cut by hand from sustainably managed woodlands in our local area.  All tipis are hand made following the traditional Sioux design using 12oz cotton duck canvas and are built to last with attention to detail.  The canvas is fully waterproof and comes as either fire retardant or rot and water proof.

Conceived by the plains Indians the tipi is a conical shelter which was devised to be pitched and transported with relative ease.  The poles and cover hitched to a horse also served as travois (sleigh) to transport possessions when moving around. Cool in summer and warm in the winter the tipi offers a calm, peaceful comfortable atmosphere close to nature.

The words Tipi and Wigwam are often confused as they both share the same meaning 'dwelling place'. Tipi originates from the Sioux / Lakota word relating to the conical skin tent used by the Plains Indians whereas Wigwam is a word derived from an East coast tribe who were fisherman and refers to a domed shaped shelter thatched with Birch bark and reeds. Apologies to anyone confused by the name Wigwam Sam but you have to admit it has a nice ring to it!
