TENTIPI EVENT TENTS

INSPIRING STRUCTURES FOR OUTDOOR LEARNING

Designed and made in Sweden since 1989, Tentipi tents take inspiration from the kåta, the traditional home of the indigenous Sami people. Tentipi has combined this traditional design with innovative new features, premium materials and the latest construction techniques to create extremely robust and long-lasting structures.

The timber and canvas construction of Tentipi’s tents creates atmospheric and inviting spaces which complement natural surroundings and allow groups to be amongst nature while sheltered from the elements.

Tentipi has an ever-growing number of educational organisations amongst their customer base, including both primary and

secondary schools, forest schools, museums, scout groups and activity centres.

“I hope more teachers catch on to the advantages of your tents, of being able to be indoors while outdoors and understand how this facilitates teaching and learning.”

Designed to withstand Scandinavian winters, Tentipi tents are extremely

robust structures that can be used all year round. Their canvas has the highest level of water-repellent properties available, and their timber poles are rigorously lab tested to ensure their strength. All Tentipi customers receive Safety Manuals and have access to draft method statements and risk assessments.

Tentipi tents are available in a range of sizes, with capacities from 16 to many hundreds in linked tents. The larger tents can have sides opened or closed depending on the weather. The time required to pitch them varies from just a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the model. They can be easily moved or packed away and stored.

The Cirrus tents are available in four sizes and are perfect for larger groups. They have two door openings with zips and smoke caps to allow for open fires. The Nimbus tents are simple canopies that provide protection from sun and rain. They are perfect for outdoor cooking and serving food. The Nimbus 23 has the option of adding walls with or without windows.

Tentipi provides detailed training documents and videos to all its customers

and offers an on-site training and installation service. A vast network of Tentipi rental customers can assist with ongoing maintenance and support. All Tentipi customers receive aftersales support for the life of their tents.

“There is a growing body of research that shows outdoor education has a positive effect on knowledge attainment and health, and this is reflected in the feedback that we receive from customers who use their tents for outdoor learning. Our structures provide children and teachers with inspiring outdoor classrooms to enhance learning.”

Ed Wright, Managing Director of Tentipi Event Tents UK & Ireland.
