Learn step-by-step how to install and use the Flex 360 kit to expand your Tentipi tipi with extra sections for more space and better shelter.

Quick answer

The Flex 360 kit lets you add two extra sections to your Tentipi tipi, increasing interior space and improving weather resistance. Follow the steps below to install it correctly.

Why use the Flex 360 kit

The Flex 360 kit is designed to expand your Tentipi tipi by adding two sections, giving you more room for gear, cooking, or extra people. It also helps create a more stable structure in windy conditions by distributing tension evenly.

What you need before starting

Make sure you have the Flex 360 kit, which includes parts for two sections. You will also need your Tentipi tipi's main poles and canvas. Work on a flat, dry area to avoid tripping or damaging components.

Step-by-step installation

Prepare the tipi base: Lay the Tentipi canvas flat on the ground and unzip the side seams where you want to add sections. Make sure the ground is clear of debris. A common mistake is not unzipping fully, which can cause the section to fit incorrectly.
Attach the section poles: Insert the Flex 360 kit poles into the sleeves of the new section. Align the pole ends with the existing tipi frame and secure them with the provided connectors. Check that each connector clicks into place; a loose connection can collapse under wind load.
Zip the section to the tipi: Starting from the bottom, zip the new section's canvas to the main tipi canvas. Work your way up to avoid bunching the fabric. If the zipper jams, stop and realign the fabric; forcing it can damage the teeth.
Tension the guy lines: Attach the guy lines from the new section to stakes at a 45-degree angle. Pull them taut to stabilize the expanded structure. Over-tightening can distort the shape; aim for a firm but not rigid tension.
Test the setup: Walk around the tipi and check all zippers, connectors, and stakes. Gently push on the canvas to ensure everything is secure. A final test helps catch loose parts before you rely on the shelter overnight.
