Tentipi Ballast System
Can we put a Tipi on hard standing? YES! At Sami Tipi we own the Tentipi ballast system perfect for one or two giant hat tipis linked or built individually.
This provides an effective solution for building the tipis on ground where staking is not possible for example tarmac or the office car park.
If you are looking to host an event or need to extend your covered space during the winter months this could be the perfect solution for you.
We’ve invested in the Tentipi system as we know it comes with all of the correct structural calculations for a safe build.
- MUTA APPROVED – Providing the highest standard of original Nordic Tentipi Products
- WE’VE HELPED OVER 79,000 PEOPLE enjoy an outdoor event in our 12 years as a business
- We’ve provided amazing tipis for the likes of LANDROVER, SKODA, CAPITAL ONE, EASY JET, JOULES, LEICESTER UNIVERSITY and NOTTINGHAM UNIVERSITY.

Safety at the Forefront
The system has been developed in partnership with a team of independent Structural Engineers who specialise in temporary fabric structures.
This ensures the tipi is safe and stable under varying wind conditions, all of which is essential when seeking authorised sign-off for on-site permit approval.
