Tipis - Alternative Sustainable Housing
SAGEBRUSH canvas tipis are most often made in the Sioux style, though I also make the following tipi styles, by request: Blackfoot, Cheyenne, and Crow (these are priced slightly higher).
All styles are constructed of durable, premium-grade materials and all stress-points are reinforced with leather and/or extra canvas layers for extra strength, and long life.
My experience, skill and attention to detail are hallmarks of
the finest quality tipis available on the market today.

Many principles used in modern homes have their origins in these practical
historic dwellings. Properly made, pitched and furnished, the tipi offers all the requirements
of a good home:
- Safety
- Comfort
- Privacy
- Beauty
- Energy Conservation
In addition to their primary use as a portable home, Tipis are a remarkably versatile all-weather shelter. Many
people live in them or use them for:
- Personal sanctuary
- Outdoor Classroom
- Temporary/Guest housing
- Workshop/Studio space
- Craft-Faire Booth
- Family or Community activities
- Play areas
- Storage
