Don't put off small repairs
One of the most common mistakes tipi owners make is ignoring minor damages. Small issues, such as tiny tears or loose fastenings, may not seem urgent, but they can quickly escalate into larger, more expensive problems.
At The Tipi Company, we offer a comprehensive repairs service at our Lancashire factory. Our experienced team—who manufactured your tipi—can carry out any repairs needed, ensuring the highest quality workmanship. Prompt action will save you time, money, and stress in the long run.
Don't lean objects on the Tipi canvas
While it might seem harmless to lean furniture, equipment, or decorations against the tipi, this can cause significant damage over time. The friction created as objects rub against the canvas, especially in windy conditions, can:
Lead to small holes or tears.
- Compromise the waterproofing of your tipi.
- Result in leaks or larger rips that require repair.
To avoid this, always keep the canvas clear of objects and ensure your setup doesn’t inadvertently put pressure on the tipi walls.
