TENT BALLASTS & ANCHORAGE

The Strongest Tipis in the World

The Tipi Company offers ground-fixing solutions and tent ballasts for any type of terrain, in any location, for the ultimate secure tent. With years of experience under our belt, we provide expert knowledge of groundworks and tipi installation support to give you accurate advice on how best to prepare your outdoor space for your fantastic new structure.

We have invested heavily in research and development for our event tipis and their individual components to ensure maximum wind loadings are achievable. We are the only tipi manufacturer in the world to have proven this with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics – the same technology used on Formula 1 cars and aircraft to provide finite detail on the effect of wind on their machines. Unlike other tipi manufacturers on the market, the stability of our tipis and our wind loadings are not reliant on extra components such as “secondary poles” or “bracing stars”. Thanks to our high-quality tent ballasts, and Scandinavian Spruce wooden framework, our tipis are strong enough just as they are.

EXPERTLY ENGINEERED TENT BALLASTS

Have you noticed that our tipi poles are smooth to the touch, with no visible knots and bumps? This is because every single pole is produced by our craftsmen in-house, using the slow process of debarking and tapering every pole to the exact same dimensions. This allows our Mechanical Engineering Consultants to offer The Tipi Company’s world-class engineering analysis and design advice to the millimetre.

Several aspects of our tipis have been expertly scrutinised and engineered to ensure our tipis are the strongest in the wind. This includes the lengths of our screws, the width of metal in our fixtures and fittings, and the height of strapping locations, to name a few. You will not find a stronger or more secure tent anywhere else.

Types of Anchorage

Hand-in-hand with our wind loadings are our tent ballast solutions and types of anchorage for a resistant and secure tent. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a solution for any surface type, while operating within safe weather limits.

Iron Stakes

The most popular solution for building our tipis is by using 750mm iron stakes. They’re ideal for soft ground such as fields, gardens and forests. In addition, they’re commonly used for the anchorage of temporary installations.

SecureFix

At The Tipi Company, we’ve developed a unique tipi anchorage solution for fixing the tipis into hard ground, such as concrete, cement and stone. Our SecureFix method utilises an incredibly safe and strong chemical resin anchorage method.

Tent Ballasts

If it’s impossible to drill into the ground, we also have a tent ballast solution that meets our tipi wind loadings guide. We recommend the use of tent ballast weights at key points along the perimeter for a secure tent able to withstand all weather conditions, which are secured to our expertly designed BallastFix plates. The weight of these differs depending on the size of the tipi and the formation you have.
