At The Tipi Company, we are proud to continually innovate and improve our products to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Over the past decade, our tipis have increasingly been used as permanent outdoor structures throughout the year. From glamping accommodation and outdoor classrooms to large wedding and event venues, our tipis are designed to deliver outstanding performance in diverse environments.
As we manufacture all our products right here in our own factories in Greater Manchester, we have the unique ability to respond quickly to client feedback and develop solutions that directly address their needs. This dedication has led us to create our latest innovation – the StormGuard System.
For tipis installed in highly exposed locations, such as coastal areas or open countryside, we identified recurring wear points that could develop over time. While our tipis are already engineered for durability, these extreme conditions present additional challenges that can accelerate canvas wear.
With this in mind, we spent two years developing and testing the StormGuard System to provide enhanced protection and longevity for our tipis. By conducting in-the-field testing at two contrasting sites — one on the seafront in Northumberland and another at an exposed site in Cheshire — we gathered valuable insights to refine our system. These real-world conditions ensured that the StormGuard System was thoroughly tested in environments prone to strong winds, heavy rain, and constant exposure to the elements.
1. Enhanced Durability for Harsh Weather
The StormGuard System has been specifically designed to reinforce your tipi in challenging environments. It offers an additional layer of protection against high winds, heavy rain, and coastal conditions, ensuring your tipi remains stable and secure even in extreme weather.
2. Increased Longevity
By minimizing key wear points, the StormGuard System significantly prolongs the lifespan of your tipi canvas. This reduces the need for frequent canvas replacements, saving you both time and money in the long run.
3. Adaptable and Optional Upgrade
The StormGuard System is available as an add-on, giving clients the flexibility to tailor their tipi setup according to their site’s unique demands. This ensures that those in exposed locations can strengthen their structures without compromising the base design of their tipi.
The StormGuard System is ideal for clients who:
Whether you own a glamping site, run a wedding venue, or manage an outdoor classroom, the StormGuard System provides peace of mind, knowing your tipi is equipped to handle unpredictable weather conditions.
At The Tipi Company, we are dedicated to providing solutions that meet the needs of our customers while maintaining our commitment to quality craftsmanship.
