THE HANDS THAT
PUT IT TOGETHER

MASTER CRAFTSMEN

Our skilled craftsmen belong to the ‘Guild of Master Craftsmen’. They
have over 40 combined years of experience in their respective fields. We
insist the materials which go into making our tipis are sourced locally from
the UK and are of the highest quality. We only utilise suppliers who work
ethically to sustain the forests that they source from.

QUALITY BRITISH FORESTRY
Ethically sourced from UK forests. Each pole is
individually selected by our experts

CANVAS TECHNOLOGY
Our tipis are made from the latest fabrics with
inherently flame retardant technology.

DURABLE STITCHING
The quality of our stitching and yarn, ensures
the strength and longevity of our tipis.

WHITTLED POLES
Felled and whittled in Hertfordshire. The wood
that makes our poles is slow grown in sandy
soil guaranteeing they are light, but strong.
