DIY Tepee

[Sunbkpk]

You can do a simple square pyramid easily like the DIY tut xl on another thread. Similar to this variation I made off a solomid style. Just scale to your size and the panels are just right angle triangles sewn together.

Note on the top edge of my photo above the white card you can see the initial stitch I am referring to on the outside edge.

I made this tepee a couple years ago and it has been awesome. For anyone wanting to take on the task of building their own tepee know that you are going to spend a considerable amount of time to build a bigger tent. Trying to manage all that material is tough. I knew nothing about sewing before this and used my wifes $100 sewing machine. This tent has held up to snow, high winds and some pretty rough back country conditions. I used the HyperD PU 4000 material by ripstop by the roll.

very cool
