- Page 2 • Before you peg out the tent, make sure all zips are closed, and check again when you adjust the guy ropes • Peg out the guy ropes in line with the tent seams How to Put Up Your Tipi Open all bags and lay out all parts. There are two bundles of purple guys ropes.
- Page 3 Unroll the tipi, canvas side up, and find the centre (hat). It is velcroed to the top. Separate the hat from the tipi and tie all the guys (without metal adjusters) to the hat. We recommend using a bowline knot.
- Page 4 Take the end you just untied and tread it through the bottom connecting point, from left to right. And retie the knot into the metal adjuster Now tie the other end to the top connector point (we recommend using a bowline knot) Complete attaching all the guys to the connector points...
- Page 5 Putting up the Tipi up Find a suitable pitch and clear away any twigs or stones. Roll out Tipi and position door as required (think about wind direction and views) Take out the pegs bag and find the thinner of the two sizes.
- Page 6 Velcro Open the pole bag, and connect the pole. Walk into tipi with pole and find the top and the hat Push the pole into the top and the hat and walk the pole upwards until it is vertical.
- Page 7 . Position the pegs the same distance from the tipi all the way round. Tighten the adjuster end of the guy as you go round a second time.
- Page 8 Finally you can play with the hat flap to allow air out of the top. Job done! Next time you put your Tipi up it will take a fraction of the time, you should find it takes around 10 minutes.
- Page 9 Taking down your Tipi If you follow this routine your tent will stay clean, dry and last you for years. It is VITAL that your tent is stored Bone Dry. If you have to take it down wet get it straight out when you get home and hang it over something to start drying it out.
- Page 10 Remove pegs at bottom of the wall of the tent, but not the groundsheet pegs yet. Either take shoes off or crawl onto the tent and pull the top of the tent over to one side Go round throwing all the guy ropes onto the centre of the tent Put the bag next to the tent so you can tell how thick a roll you need to create.
- Page 11 Now un-peg the groundsheet. Unless you are in the driest of dry conditions there will be condensation from the grass on the underside. You need to let this dry off so, weather permitting, flip the ground sheet over (don’t do it on the same spot as the condensation was) and give it couple of minutes to dry off.

Page 12: General Information
Cleaning Your Tipi Tent What with the British weather, odds on you’ll probably get some mud splattered on it at some point.The best way to get it off is to leave it alone until it’s dried out. If that means taking the tent out again when you get home then that’s what you need to do. -
Page 13: Maintenance
Maintenance The cotton must be dry before storing the tent. Never keep the tent stored away wet for longer than two days. Otherwise fungus can affect the canvas witch will create little black irremovable dots. The canvas has been impregnated with anti fungi but when using the tent often this process should be repeated every two years. - Page 14 Leaking Cotton can, when new, let some air through and leak around the seams. After the canvas has been wet once this will no longer happen because of the cotton expanding. Very light stains can appear on a wet tent, this causes no problems. Mainly because of ultraviolet radiation workingon the tent this layer will wear down no longer making the tent waterproof.
