Uneven ground
If the ground, where you want to put up your Nordic tipi, is uneven you have to start from the pegs that end up on level ground. Put them in the best way you can and try to adjust the others afterwards.
Or if it’s possible – change places.
Angle for ground placing
Always try to fix the pegs used for the ground tensioners, the storm cords and the air intakes at right angles to the length of the tent fabric. If that is impossible, it is better with a larger angle than a smaller one. Please, see picture
The hook pegs used to secure the snow flap are best at right angle to the ground, thanks to the hook.
How to put the pegs into the ground
Use gloves to put the pegs into the ground if possible.
You can push the pegs down into the ground.
But never use a hammer with lightweight pegs– the pegs can bend if there are stones underground.
If you are going to put up the Nordic tipi in snow or sand we have Sand and snow pegs as an accessory.

Sustainability
The Sami are a nomadic, indigenous people in northern Scandinavia. They are known as the people of the sun and the wind. Some Sami still work as reindeer-keepers. Traditional Sami clothes are decorated with colourful, woven bands and bands like this used as shoelaces.
Tentipi® Nordic tipis are designed to be used with an open fire or stove; it is this feature that makes them a home from home in all weather conditions. But please check local regulations, read and understand the instructions provided, and make sure you are fully competent to deal with the risks involved, before striking that match.
