Linking The Tipis
Linking Instructions
STEP 1
Before we begin with the steps of linking the Tipis it is important to understand the principles involved.
The Double Tipi linking kit we place 2 Giant Tipis next to each other their centres 10 mtrs apart. With a pair of main poles approx 12 inches apart. If the 2 Tipis were pitched with all sides down and no link the footprint would look something like this.

Getting the second frame in position.
Erect your first Tipi frame. Making sure you have enough space on your site for your next Tipi frame (10-12mtrs). Take a look at Tipi framework instructions to learn how to erect Tipi frames.
Placing 2 main Tipi Poles opposite each other (A B ) 18" apart make sure you have that gap otherwise the roof sheet wont fit correctly
Push your framework up the same as the first frame went up 3 poles pushing against 2 poles. Make sure the poles you are pushing against has stakes behind them to prevent them slipping away as you start pushing.
STEP 2
PLACING ROOF POLE
You will have 1x 5.5 mtr roof pole
This is placed in the middle of both pearlins (on top of pearlin) facing each other then ratcheted to each pearlin.
STEP 3
Fit 2 Tipi Skins
Now you have your Tipi frames in the correct position (18" apart on the linking poles) its time to pull the Tipi skins over. Take a look at Raising the canvas section if you are not sure how to do this. Once you have 2 Tipi skins on make sure the zip will not be on the lifted section. Only peg down the front of the Tipi as you will be lifting the back side of the Tipi skins around the joining sections. Its time to move onto the next step.
STEP 4
Deciding internal & External Tipi
When linking your Tipis you need to decide which Tipi is your external (Tipi on top) and which Tipi is your internal (Tipi on bottom). The best way to do this is see which way the wind is blowing or which way the prevailing wind blows. Make your Internal Tipi face the wind.
STEP 5
STRAPPING TIPIS
Here we start placing the EXTERNAL & INTERNAL straps
start with the long external straps
6mtr long straps (blue) They are the from the highest point (roof bar)
Side straps (red) go from 3mtr length down to 0.5mtr
STRAPS
External Straps
Only to be used on outside of Tipis
Internal Straps
Only to be used on inside of Tipis
STEP 5
INTERNAL STRAPPING
Next we fit internal straps
2 X 2-3MTR INTERNAL STRAPS from the internal Tipi (see above) to the next Tipi pearlin.
2x 8tmr long internals from internal Tipi to the opposite Tipi above the pearlin around the main Tipi Pole
Add more Internal Tipi straps if Tipi is baggy add as many as needed on Internal skirt and make sure they are pulled tight to get the Tipi Tight
STEP 6
LINKING SHEETS
Now we fit the Linking sheets to close the 2 Tipis
unfold each linking sheet and place one between the 2 Tipis where the gap is and roughly half the gap
Feed the bottom of the linking sheet canvas behind the main poles.
Along each of the short edges of the side sheet there are D-Rings
Fit an internal strap to each of the D-Rings on the side of the sheet and strap them around the main Poles
Ensure they are running straight. If they are running at an angle they can slip along the main pole in the wind and become loose.
Outside of the Tipi now find one of the 2 corners of the side sheet stretch it out and pin it to the ground
Find the D-Ring at the centre of the bottom edge of the covering-canvas, pull it out and pin it to the ground.
There are other D-Rings along the bottom edge which should be pinned too
You can now pin your external Cross straps now and tighten the Tipi
