With projected”glamping” (glamorous camping) excursions at an all-time high this summer, it’s no miracle that tepees (also spelled”tipis” or even”teepees”) are popping up at the plan world too. The conical tent layout has existed for many hundreds of years, but as of late has surfaced as a trend-setting accessory. Whether you are hosting a backyard bash or creating a rainy-day reading corner, then tepees are suitable indoors and out.
By means of a DIY tutorial, I expect to whip up a tepee of my own this summer (although I imagine I’ll be tempted to purchase a kit). Either way, I officially dub the summer of 2012 the Summer of this Tepee.

While the adults chill and grill, the kids can have tepee time. If you are intending to keep it out, look for a tepee made out of weather-resistant fabric, such as Sunbrella.

A tepee trellis is excellent for developing climbing vines in the veggie garden and adds an eye-catching vertical element into your own patch of edibles. I especially love them for pole beans.
Make one yourself by simply staking bamboo sticks in the soil and tying them at the top with different layers of jute or robust garden twine. Or get a few readymade backyard tepees.
