Make your own Teepee Gareth Jones

Who wouldn't want a Teepee in their garden? I can't think of anyone. A tent of many uses. Obviously somewhere for the kids to play {Millie aged 3 moved her kitchen in 10 minutes after she had applied the first paint to the canvas.} I sit in there in the quiet of the afternoon and write or read in it's soothing calm, the shape of which, like a spire, inspires me. My wife takes refuge there when yet another episode of "The Big Bang Theory", funny though it is, is replayed for the 18th time and I do the same when another recorded, contorted plotline is unfolding on "Coronation Street."Making one is also a creative and interesting way to spend family time, then family and friends' time, in the long hot summers that we all hope for. Please note, the dimensions in this book will result in a small garden Teepee. If you want a larger version you can upscale but you will need to bolster the means of securing it.
