What moves the price
- Number of tipis — a single tipi for a party costs far less than three linked tipis for a wedding
- Flooring — coir matting or wooden flooring is priced on top of the bare tipi structure
- Lighting and firepits — festoon lights, chandeliers and a central firepit add atmosphere and cost
- Furniture — tables, benches, sheepskins and a bar are often hired from the tipi company too
- Site and access — sloping fields and long carries from the road add build time
- Peak season — summer weekends are booked first by tipi hire companies

- Agree build and take-down dates and any damage deposit in writing
