THE POLES STICKS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE ,SO WE RECOMMEND TO MAKE THEM YOURSELF, HERE ARE GUIDELINES (2-PAGES !!! ) IN ENGLISH
If you want we can order them for you as well : Made from Fir wood, these sticks are exceptionally straight, light in weight, robust and strong, completely debarked and peeled, PEFC certified, sourced from sustainably used forests.
We do not stock tipi (tent) poles . Due to the many different lengths and designs we only manufacture these to special order.
The standard poles offered are made from one piece. Usually made from Pine -Spruce or Douglas fir
and unfortunately quite expensive to ship due to the length and packing dimensions.
OR/O 3-PAGINAS EN ESPANOL
The poles should be at least one third longer than the diameter of the tent. That means: 6m tipi = 8m poles!! In general, you can say that the longer the poles, the prettier the tipi. The poles don't all have to be the same length - an irregular crown is more natural and beautiful!
Attention, the sticks must be as thin as possible!!
Do not cut off the thin tips, but measure the length of the pole from the thin tip downwards. AT THE POINT WHERE THE POLES CROSS, THEY SHOULD NOT BE THICKER THAN 4-5 CM !! Poles that are too thick can cause problems when putting up the tent.
THE CHEAPEST WAY is to make them yourself:
The Sticks or Poles need a diametre of 8cm at the bottom
You can fit 2 or 3 poles together to screw them (READ BELOW !!! HOW TO....)
