We have been making Sioux style Native American Tipis in beautiful Oregon since 1970. We offer exceptional craftsmanship and beautiful artwork. We are women owned and operated, with 85% women in the workforce.

Our tipis are used as a space for meditation or quiet time, as a backyard gathering place, as permanent shelters for off-the-grid living, as airbnb or glampinghub rentals, as well as at Campgrounds, Retreat Centers, Educational Centers or Glamping Sites.
Our tipis are also double reinforced at all stress points to withstand years of use in any weather condition. Please check our Q & A page for self help on waterproofing, fire retarding and other helpful information including setting up your tipi and how to find poles.
Patterned on authentic Native American designs, we have proudly made The Colorado Tipi for over 100 years. Our pattern incorporates the best of both the Cheyenne and Sioux Tipi styles and are historically accurate. Today, our tipis are still used by the Utes, Navajos, and Kiowas as ceremonial tipis.
Army Duck canvas is 100% cotton and is weaved with double-fill yarn making it stronger and more durable than its single-fill counterpart. This material has been the standard for military tents since the early 1900's with its tight weave making it naturally water repellent.
The seams of a new tent often leak the first time they are subjected to moisture. It will take a few exposures/soakings to shrink the needle holes tightly against the thread. To minimize this possible leakage, we advise customers set up new tents and soak the seams with a hose several times, allowing the tent to dry thoroughly between soakings. If this procedure is not practical for your situation, we then suggest that you arrange your tent so nothing sits under the seam that may be a problem if it gets wet. If your tent leaks at a few spots along the seam, you may rub wax or a bar of Ivory soap to fill the stitch holes. If you apply waterproofing, do so only in the places where it leaks and do not cover the entire tent. When an old tent starts leaking in the middle of the fabric, far from the seams, it is time to buy a new tent.
Once mold and mildew appear they can be killed but the stain created is difficult to remove. We recommend using a mold and mildew cleaner once it appears If you have extensive damage please call us for additional options.
Five-year warranty covers manufacturing defects. It does not cover normal wear and tear or catastrophic events (hail, wind, etc.). Warranty includes one free repair within the warranty time-period. We don't expect you to have any issues within this time, but we recommend bringing your tent in before your warranty expires to take advantage of your free repair!
The Fort McPherson Tent and Canvas Shop has been making traditional canvas tipis for over 20 years. These tipis are built arctic tough with 10 oz canvas that is fire and mildew resistant. They are made to withstand the elements whether it be extreme cold or extreme heat.
These teepees allow you to be able to lay by an open fire, warm and cozy while listening to the rain tap on the water resistant treated canvas.
