Why Choose a Teepee Tent?
Teepees have stood the test of time for a reason. Here is why our customers love choosing a teepee design over standard dome tents or playhouses:
- All-Weather Comfort: The unique conical shape naturally pushes hot air up and out through top vents, keeping you cool in the summer, while retaining cozy warmth during the winter.
- Roomy Interior: Enjoy high ceilings and plenty of space to stretch out. There is ample room for sleeping, hanging out, and storing your gear.
- Fast Setup and Pack-Down: Despite their impressive size, teepee tents are incredibly lightweight and simple to erect, so you can spend more time enjoying your surroundings.
- Built to Last: Crafted from tough materials designed to handle daily indoor play or unpredictable outdoor weather without breaking the bank.

Common Questions
Can I use a kids' canvas teepee outside?
Kids' canvas teepees are fantastic for dry, sunny days in the backyard or at the park! However, because they are made from cotton canvas, they are not waterproof. They should always be brought back inside and not left exposed to rain or overnight dew.
How many people can fit inside the adult camping teepee?
This depends on the specific model! Our adult teepees are designed with spacious footprints that can comfortably sleep multiple adults or serve as a fantastic central gathering space for group camping. Check the dimensions on the specific product page to ensure it fits your group size.
Do I need to buy the timber posts for the Teepee Brakit?
Yes. If you purchase the Teepee Tent Brakit, you are purchasing the heavy-duty metal joining hardware only. You will need to source your own timber poles (commonly available at Bunnings or local hardware stores) to complete the stand.
Are teepee tents hard to assemble?
Not at all. One of the biggest advantages of a teepee design is the simplicity of the central pole (or tripod) structure. They are much faster to set up and pack down than traditional multi-pole dome tents.

Let customers speak for us
I ordered a new cushion for my very old and tired egg chair. I was delighted the cushion turned up in only 3 or 4 days, and it looks great. Perfect timing for spring - I can now retire to my comfortable chair with my book in the sunshine. Very pleased!
My son absolutely loves his hanging tent, he is in there all the time, and it has been a great space for sensory regulation.
