22 ft round at the floor and about 15 foot high it wasn't tiny by any means, built her on a 22x22 ft deck, withstood 80 mph winds, hail, heavy snow, etc. Those savage Indians knew what they were doing. I must say it was romantic laying there at night, looking out the smokeflap opening and seeing the stars. The smokeflaps (when open) acted like big ear collectors and you could hear every sound from miles away...coyotes, chipmunks, woodpeckers, thunder, etc etc. When you had a fire going inside and went utside the tipi looked like one bigass lighted party cone and was super cool looking.
The guy who made the tipi said it took to 3 men to put it up. With my trock and my dog I did it myself......only to find out I measured wrong as the canvas was too high off the decking. I had to take the entire thing down, readjust it and put her back up. It went up like a breeze on the second go-round. lol.
