We have five tipis.
1. The Plateau Tipi, which is across the valley near the house. It's the biggest one at 20' across and 19' high

2. The winterized Tipi, it's beside the pond on Horseshoe island, covered with two layers of fabric plus one on the ground that goes up the sides. I made a fire spot in the center of the floor by making a fire on it! There's a hammock in there.

It's much smaller, probably 10' high and 12' wide.

3. The open tipi, it's also on the island, but it has only got a bit of cover on one side near the top, which I move around to make shade for us while we lie in either of the two hammocks there or sit in the adirondack chair or chaise lounge in the center. It's probably 16' across at the base.

4. Sedge Meadow Tipi is a also about 20' across, located on the highway at the tip corner of the property between the stream and the highway. It's only covered on one side by one layer, just to give a bit of privacy from the traffic, but open on the other side to see the marsh woods, the stream and the snowfall.

I have two hammocks in there and a bird feeder, as well as 19 tanned fur hides.

5. Alida built a tipi beside the upper pond right beside the spring that comes out of the hillside from under a rock It's about 20' across, has one layer of fabric on it and is made with very thin old poles. They could break easily, I think, as those were old sticks I found lying around beside the main dam just beyond the exit from the upper pond.
mood: happy

I really enjoyed the you tube videos. Your tipis look like very relaxing places to go. :)
