Tentipi®: Ventilation is extremely good on warm days thanks to the big smoke opening, the large air intakes fitted with mosquito nets, and the net-fitted door. Every air intake is easily adjustable from inside. The air intake roof can be closed to make sure that no rain gets in and to protect the net when using the Nordic tipi during winter, for example. These are important solutions which make the Tentipi® Adventure Nordic tipi a well-functioning alternative even without an inner-tent.

Tentipi® (Safir): Three air intakes. It is easy to supply a fire with oxygen because the air intakes and the door allow you to let in air from any desired direction, which is practical if the wind turns.

Tentipi® (Zirkon): One air intake opposite the door.

Tentipi® (Onyx): Have no special air intakes. Air comes in through the net in the door or under the fabric. An inner-tent is needed to make the Nordic tipi insect-proof.

Are there air intakes? How many and are they positioned in different directions? Are they protected in winter? Are they big enough to let in enough air for a fire or for cooling the tent?

Too dense a net is no good on hot, still days because the natural ventilation will not be strong enough to get through the net. If a high ventilation opening is too small, the airflow will be poor; if there is no high opening, there will be no natural ventilation at all.
