Which type of tent is the right one for you?

People have been interested in tents ever since they first began wondering how to protect themselves from the elements, in winter, summer, autumn and spring. Ever since then, our needs have both grown and changed.

The evolution of the tent probably began with a cone-shaped construction of wooden poles with animal hides wrapped round it in order to provide shelter from the elements. During the last century, tents have developed so that now we have modern, light ridge tents, tunnel tents, dome tents, and also party tents and large tents of all possible shapes and sizes. These tents have revolutionized spending time in the great outdoors for both professionals and amateur outdoor-lovers.

Tentipi has created the latest revolution in tent design. Tentipi has designed Nordic tipis made out of the best materials which modern civilization can offer. With patented features and masterly design, Tentipi has created a tent with a performance which almost seems too good to be true.

The recipe:

• The ingenious basic design of the Sami lavvu has been fully taken advantage of.
• Pioneering patented features have eliminated the defects that Nordic tipis used to have.
• Masterly design and reinforcements in the right places have resulted in a tent with no weak points.
• When working on the design, our constructors have not focused on meeting today’s needs, but the needs of the future. Our ambition has been therefore to allow developments to break new ground.

Today there is a multitude of tent types to choose from. If you let yourself be influenced by the choice of tent that other people usually make, there is a big risk that you will miss the tent that actually suits your requirements the best. We are not claiming that a Tentipi® Nordic tipi is always the best choice. But the unexpected performance of the Nordic tipi and its unique features mean that it should always be taken into consideration before buying any tent.

This guide uses Tentipi® Nordic tipis as its starting point because by doing so, we have raised expectations considerably concerning what a modern tent should be able to do. The guide is partial because our aim is to compare our relatively unknown tent models with those that are already established today. However, we do not try to hide deficiencies or gloss over facts because our credibility is one of our most valuable assets — something we are very careful of.

We hope that this guide will provide you with both questions and arguments which will help you to choose your tent, no matter if you favour us or go elsewhere.
