Structure & materials
What you need to know about your tipi géant
The giant tipi — also called a tipi marquee — is the majestic version of the Nordic tipi: about 83 m² closed, up to 100–132 m² semi-open or open, height up to 9.5 m, connectable into villages up to 1,000 m². Waterproof M2 fire-rated canvas, timber poles, open, semi-open or closed install (crystal walls possible): it makes an impression for a premium wedding, festival or standout seminar. Distinct from the reception tipi (50–150 m² formats), the giant tipi behaves like a modular conical marquee.
Materials & construction
- Waterproof white canvas, UV-resistant, M2 fire-rated
- Timber poles (pine / spruce) — height up to ~9.5 m
- Height under lowest canvas point ~2.30 m
- Diameter / footprint depending on giant format (~5 m and more in configuration)
- Fixing: stakes or ballast; optional flooring
- Wind resistance up to ~90 km/h
For which event?

One or more linked giant tipis for 100 to 500+ guests: dinner, dancefloor and lounge under a unique silhouette.
Festival & event village

Seminar & creative corporate event
Alternative to the white marquee for brands that want a photogenic signature and a lodge atmosphere.
Multi-tipi village
Giant tipi + mid sizes for differentiated zones (dining, cocktail, children, backstage) up to 1,000 m².
What to plan for
- Ground: lawn or earth preferred; flooring + ballast on hard ground.

- Configs: fully open, semi-open or closed (crystal possible).
- Setup time: half a day per unit to several days for a village.
