Atmospheric, spacious, flexible and, above all, different. These are Nordic tipis with many charming traditional features that have been modernised in capacities that suit everything from family celebrations to events for thousands. The patented fixing system makes these Nordic tipis both stable and easy to erect — whatever the size.

See one of these Nordic tipis and you’re smiling straight away. Step inside and you know why. Fun, festivity and good fellowship are what these spacious tents are all about. Immediately you’re enjoying yourself, chatting, mingling, relaxed.

These are the reasons why these large Nordic tipis are so popular with event organisers, and private hosts and hostesses.

Everyone loves the atmosphere, the space, the flexibility and, above all, the difference. They love the historical link with the classic tents of the nomads that makes every occasion so much more imaginative and enjoyable; an event with flair.

And, in the commercial world, these Nordic tipis grab attention in the most positive way. They make people notice you and remember you.

Using a Cirrus or a Stratus Nordic tipi at a trade fair, for example, gives you the edge in attracting customer interest. They’re more practical, too — easier to erect and cost-effective compared with solid constructions.

Cirrus and Stratus are strong, stable constructions for an enormous range of activities. They can be tourist cafés, trade stands and dining rooms with a difference for a sales conference or sports club function. They can be the inspirational mess hall of a corporate team building exercise, with people eating sociably round a blazing log fire… The circular shape is so companionable.

They can host weddings, anniversaries, stylish garden parties — and numbers are no problem. You can seat up to 200 at tables in the biggest Cirrus or join several Stratus to seat hundreds — or even a thousand plus.

The ambience is unique, evocative, memorable — and great fun.

Fun, festivity, fellowship — for family occasions or thousand-seater events.

You can use our Event Nordic tipis all year round — but you should always remove snow from around them.

Fabric — thick, tough, breathable, water-repellent cotton/polyester mix. It’s far more durable than simple, cheap cotton fabric. But it still lets the light glow warmly through and it breathes to ensure a pleasant atmosphere and less condensation. At the bottom edge the canvas is reinforced with 50 cm of tear-resistant polyamide. Flame-retardant fabric is available as a Health and Safety option.

Poles — these are timber poles of world-beating quality. They are immensely strong, yet very manageable during erection. This is because they are made from the best possible material — extremely late-maturing, de-barked spruce that is lighter than pine. For example the poles for Cirrus 72 are made from trees of up to 150 years old. The annual rings are often so tight they almost touch. Consequently, the poles not only have huge load-bearing strength, this density also makes them highly durable and rot-resistant.

The great strength of the Cirrus and Stratus Nordic tipis comes from the patented cross-pole structure. This is why they can be so spacious yet so stable.

Importantly, too, the structural poles do not extend up through the canvas. This prevents rainwater from running down the poles and into the tent. The traditional external appearance is created with non-structural poles.

The canvas is sewn in one piece to give you the maximum storm resistance and this helps the cross-pole framework to ensure structural integrity in strong winds and snow.

The ventilator cap is weighted to keep it from blowing up, and you can adjust it from ground level.

Tent peg catches have steel ring reinforcements.

Cirrus and Stratus Nordic tipis have two entrances.
