Anyone know the easiest way to build a big te-pe? or somewhere on the net where there are plans??...my daughters and I are finally graduating from the little tent, I think they will enjoy this ....maybe for the first 5 minutes..lol...but they will like it, i hope.

Thanks

alright, thanks Paul!....ill try and get pictures, if we get it to stand long enough!

thanks again

You can also (if you have cash that is) purchase one at www.wanderingbull.com

Let me see what else I can dig up for you. I cuold TRY to explain to you but might be easier with a website so you can print pics and directions LOL

I knew the general principal for the most part, I was just wanting some kind of drawing to make my feble little brain feel better i guess....lol...

all the help is very much appreciated!

OK JB...this is what I have for you ... 2 internet addies and my own directions. You decide what is best for you:

The tipi is set up by first bracing 3 poles against one another, then pulling the tripod of tall poles up by a rope hoist. These first or bracing poles are usually oriented to the compass directions (D, the door, is east) as shown here. When the rest of the poles have been positioned and lashed at the top, the tipi cover is pulled around the framework, as shown.

well, this weekend while at the hardware store to get supplies....my daughters decided they didnt want to build a teepee....luckily before i had bought anything....so we took a vote, and they ended up winning with wanting to build a tree house...so much more fun!!...so I do appreciate all the information sent by everyone...I promise it wont go to waste, Ill make them build one when they are older...ill help them build one when they turn 18 and I kick them out of the house....joke joke...

thanks again
