Tutorial on How To Make a Teepee
Step 1
Cut a large length of rope & burn the end.
Step 2
Drill hole in first pole at 5″.
Step 3
String rope through the hole & tie a knot where it meets the pole.
Step 4
Create a faux teepee with your poles to see how they need to lay to be stable. Using 4 poles, it’s best to have the front wider & the back of the teepee more narrow. See how pole #2 lies to meet pole #1 & drill a hole at that distance.
Step 5
Feed the rope through pole #2, then wrap it around a couple times in various directions to stabilize it.
Step 6
Add pole #3, testing where to place it, drill hole, feed rope & wrap.
Step 7
Repeat for pole #4. Wrap the rope over & under, then around the teepee several times.
