Now it’s time to sew! Take two semi-circles and place them right sides together. Sew along the curved side using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Even the tents with external frames, though they might require more than one person to set up, are on average far less complicated than a multi-piece dome tent with a vestibule.

One of the biggest benefits of having a teepee style tent for family or frontcountry outings is how easy they are to set up compared to other “large” tents. For single-pole style teepee tents, setup is often as easy as staking down the bottom and propping it up with a pole. Lightweight options often don’t include a floor and bug net, making for a closer experience to nature than many people are prepared for. Next, trace and cut out semi-circles, one exterior and one interior, for as many wigwam/teepees as you wish to make.Modern takes on the teepee are a far cry from the skin and pole design of their predecessors, but the function remains the same. They’re reliable, versatile shelters can get the job done in all four seasons. Construction can range anywhere from a pared down tarp shelter, to burly canvas teepee tent.

Nothing is quite as therapeutic and relaxing as a nice warm shower…unless, of course, it’s coming from your sweet baby boy’s diaper.? If you’re looking for something to shelter a lot of people and don’t mind the extra weight, tents in the frontcountry section are a great option with many at affordable prices.

All the Teepee Tents We've tested

The teepee style’s simple design allows them to be specialized to a high degree, and you’ll see all arrays of takes on design. It’s all about what your needs are. I have a pretty good fabric stash, but it’s comprised of almost all girly fabrics. Thankfully, I had a few scraps of boyish fabric left from some burp rags I made for a friend a few years ago. I also grabbed a few hand-me-down flannel blankets and burp rags for the inside fabric. These large, family style tents have the added perk of ventilation. When you’re housing up to twelve people in the same shelter, having a reliable means of airflow is a must. Choosing the Right Tent for Your Needs First step, cut out a 6-7″ diameter circle to use as a pattern. I found that the little dessert paper plates are exactly 7″ in diameter, so I used one as a template.
