The tipi (tepee, teepee) was an abode used by the Great Plains Indians, offering them a movable home for their nomadic lifestyle.  Many are now finding a simpler way of life is less stressful and much more rewarding.  What better way to get back to the basics?  Imagine being in your own tipi on a cold night with a fire keeping you warm!  Tipis can be used year-round.  Enjoy overnights, extended stays, or permanent living in your own custom tipi.

What I do here at TipiWorks (now 10 years old) is facilitate sales, service, repair, custom set-ups, commercial set-ups, custom flagstone flooring, custom wood decks, and give free advice/consultations.  TipiWorks sells tipis made by Nomadics Tipi Makers which has made over 15,000 tipis in 33 years of business.

TipiWorks has erected over 450 tipis in sizes from 12 to 36 feet.  Our client list includes Bobby Unser Jr., Carlene Carter, the late Howie Epstein (bassist for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), the executive producer for Oprah Winfrey, and others.  We've been featured on the Discovery Channel, in numerous publications, and several TV broadcasts.

TipiWorks has done numerous commercial set-ups in campgrounds, for movie shoots, for magazine photo shoots, and at various shows including the Gathering of Nations PowWow.  In addition, we did a custom stage set-up of 2 tipis for the Miss Indian World pageant for 3 years at the Kiva Auditorium in Albuquerque, NM.
