Tentipi’s Nordic tipis are designed to be as flexible as possible. It is also well-known that they withstand stormy weather which destroys other tents. That would not be the case if the canopy was a permanent part of the Nordic tipi.
As of 2012, all Safir and Zirkon Nordic tipis of sizes 5–9 have a porch sleeve (a holder for accessories, placed over the door). There is an adapter available for earlier models and for Onyx.
The canopy is attached to this sleeve and thereby becomes an integrated part of the Nordic tipi and gives rain protection over the door. At the same time, it is easy to remove if it gets too windy.
We have also designed our canopies so they can be used separately as well in different ways.
