Are the tipis waterproof?
Tipis were developed by North American native people over hundreds of years. They were a shelter that was easily transportable, stable in the wind, and comfortable in both good and poor weather. They aren’t completely waterproof but much better than regular tents. Our TiPi’s have lots of headroom to move around in, and the Concrete floor, all of which make a big difference in poor weather. Tipis naturally shed moisture down the inside of their poles, so if it rains very hard or for a long time, moisture starts to move down the poles. If it hits a knot in and isn’t moving fast enough to get over it, it may start to drip. To retrack the drip over the knot: lick your finger, rub the knot up and down and pull your finger down the pole 8 to 10 inches (old native trick).
