This is a project at home. If anyone is interested just a sort of blog of me building a tepee. Was going to cover it in canvas but at £900 going for something else.
Cut 3 old trees down and cleared space.

Of course the job grows. Now can't get digger out up the garden terraces, so had to go through stream and out through field.

900 quid for canvas? What about old wagon tarps? That's what we used to use when building dens back in the 70s.

Tony I got an artist for a wife, so got to be right. The only thing I've bought up to now is the feather edge costing £200
