ULTRALIGHT TIPI TARP


This is by far the best lightweight tipi tarp design for strength,
ease of use and reliability

a nixtipitarp design
Features
This 15 foot diameter round tarp makes a 9 foot diameter tipi with 8 stakes and a 6 foot hiking
staff or tent poles.  The tarp without the stakes and pole and made with 1.1 oz silnylon, weighs
only 20.8 ounces.  Floor area ~56 sq ft.
Kit includes all supplies and the most detailed, step by step, easy to follow instructions

Side Note:  The Quest Outfitters team has made one these, it is an amazing design that can take both wind loads and snow loads.  Its versatility in design can be used as a tipi, a tarp, an A-frame
or a lean-to.  With the easy to follow instructions and everything included in the kit, we feel just
about anyone could make this project and you will be glad you did.    

 

Suggested fabrics
:
  1.1 oz Silnylon, coated 2.2 oz ripstop
Due to design size, exact measurements and
instructions for layout are given rather than a pattern.

KITS INCLUDE ALL OF THE SUPPLIES NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE TIPI (IE:  FABRIC (SILNYLON), THREAD, GROSGRAIN, & CORDAGE, does not include the pole or stakes), 


 2NDS ON SILNYLON:  We sell a hundred yards of 2nds to every 1 yard of 1sts.   Every now and then it may be slightly dirty or there may be a mark in the fabric or there may be an extra amount of silicone in the form of a narrow, whitish streak.  In other words there may be minor cosmetic imperfections but we won't sell any silnylon that we feel is structurally compromised unless you know about it ahead of time

wpe55.jpg (6812 bytes) wpe6.jpg (41796 bytes)
   
This ultra-lightweight system helps to eliminate heat loss and keeps your sleeping bag insulation dry adding extra warmth and comfort during cold or damp nights. It also
protects your bag from the elements and exterior wear and tear providing you many extra years of use from your bag. Two bivy sack designs to choose from. [View 2 using
a waterproof breathable top and coated taffeta tub including noseeum, thread, hook & loop, zippers & pattern costs approx. $59 to make].

Design #1: Basic design that minimizes weight and assembly time. Hook and loop closure and rainflaps along the top of the hood opening keeps the elements out. Simply
pulling back the hood accesses optional built-in no-see-um netting.

Design #2: Uniquely designed hood has 2 reversible pull zippers along each side so the hood can be pulled back when it is not needed. Rainflaps and hook and loop hood
closure keeps the elements out. Simply pulling back the hood accesses optional built-in no-see-um netting

Suggested fabrics:  Top and Hood- waterproof/breathable (Stormshield, Gore-Tex,  Weathertek). Bottom Tub- lightweight, waterproof (coated taffeta, ripstop, oxford).
Nettting- No-see-um

Depending on fabric selection the completed project weights approximately 16 oz.
Approximate finished size is 88" long x 33" (at head) x 19" (at foot).

Due to each designs size, exact measurements and
instructions for layout are given rather than a pattern.
