Tipi tripod frames are a traditional and versatile way to construct a shelter, whether for camping or outdoor events. In this video, we'll show you how to build one step-by-step using just a few basic tools and materials. Let's get started!

Step 1: Gather Materials The first step in building a tipi tripod frame is to gather the necessary materials. For this project, you'll need three long wooden poles, some sturdy rope or twine, and a knife or scissors to cut the rope.
Step 2: Positioning the Poles Next, find a level spot to construct your tipi. Once you've found the right location, position the three poles along side each other. Make sure the poles are all the same length and that the tops of the poles are even.
Step 3: Lashing the Poles Now it's time to start lashing the poles together. Take your rope or twine and start with a double clove hitch a suitable distance down from the top of the first pole and cinch down. Then, wrap the rope over and under the poles four or five times. Then frap the lashes by putting three frap loops around the lashes. Finish off by tying the rope ends with a square knot. That’s all there is to it!


Step 4:Final Adjustments Finally, make any necessary adjustments to the poles to make sure they are all straight and evenly spaced.
Congratulations! You've now learned how to lash together a tipi tripod frame. With just a few simple materials and tools, you can construct a versatile and traditional shelter for all your outdoor needs. Thanks for watching, and happy camping!
