A good kids teepee should go up in minutes, without tools. Here’s how to set up the ZIVASKA teepee, and the same steps work for most wooden-pole teepees.

What’s in the box

Cotton tent cover, natural pine poles, top stabiliser, 3 m star fairy lights, round 120 cm fluffy mat/blanket, bunting banner and carry bag.

Step-by-step set-up

  1. Clear a space about 1.5 × 1.5 m on a flat floor.
  2. Connect the poles if they come in sections, and slide them into the sleeves of the cover.
  3. Join the poles at the top with the stabiliser so they lock together.
  4. Spread the base evenly until the cover is taut and the tent stands firmly.
  5. Tie the base straps or ties if included, so the poles don’t slide on smooth floors.
  6. Add the inside: place the fluffy mat inside, hang the bunting, and wrap the star lights loosely around the poles.

That’s it – usually under 5 minutes.

Tips for a stable teepee

  • On hardwood or tile, a rug underneath helps stop the poles slipping.
  • Make sure all poles are fully in the stabiliser before kids climb in.
  • Don’t hang heavy items from the top.

Packing it away

  1. Remove the lights, bunting and mat.
  2. Release the top stabiliser and pull out the poles.
  3. Fold the cover and roll it up.
  4. Pack everything into the carry bag.
