Beyond Tipis
At Katachiefs we love tipis. There is something about the rustic wooden poles, the twinkling of the fairy lights and the warmth of the tan canvas that creates an atmosphere that is second to none. We believe the magical atmosphere in a tipi cannot be beaten by any other structure. Of course the canvas can be lifted, but then this lets in the worst of the weather. This is why we have formed Tipi Chiefs. Our new conscept to alter tipis events across the country. We have created our wooden panels sides, increasing the usable floor space and retaining a weather tight structure.
This is moving Tipis to the next level!
Inspired by a nomadic lifestyle a key aspect of a tipi is the portability of the structure. When designing our panels we have kept this key feature of tipis in mind. Our experienced crews can erect a panelled tipi in a similar time to that of a traditional tipi structure creating a temporary structure with a permanent structure feel.
Increased Space
After working with tipis for use in the hire industry and for pernment venues we are well aware of their limitation in the reduction of usable space when the canvas is down against the poles. Our wooden panel sides not only increase the footprint of the structure but also the usable space. The canvas around the panels is lifted to above 2m allowing every inch of the structure to be used to its full potential.
Bespoke Venue
From providing tipis for weddings, parties, corporate and public events we realise that no two events are the same. Tipis being modular units that can be linked together into different formations to create unique structures.
With this in mind we have created a range of panels to cater for any event. For winter events we have panels complete with wooden doors to create a cosy atmosphere that keeps the weather out. We have developed a range of panels from large windows, smaller windows, solid wooden panels and even specialist panels to link food trailers to the structure . All of our window panels consist of a Perspex panel that can be put in place for winter events to keep the heat in or removed for summer events to allow air to flow into the structure.
The Possibilities
Permanent Venues
Perhaps you are looking for a long term hire or even to purchase your own tipi for your venue, then look no further than one of our panelled tipis. Our panelled tipis start with what we consider to be the best tipis on the market and then we can build a customer structure for your needs. Choose from a range of panels and cladding material to design a unique structure to meet your business needs.
Event Hire
If you’re looking for something different, than our wooden panelled tipi is for you. Creating a larger space than a traditional tipi, it is great for any wedding, party or corporate event. The panelled walls are ideal for decorating and personalising your event. With a range of panels to choose from you can customise the structure to suit your event. Place a large window to get the best view or perhaps a solid panel to hide toilets and generators behind.
Pop-up Tipi Village
Imagine a complete pop up food village of food trailers attached to a tipi formation. With tipis, catering units, decorations and furniture it is complete set up in one place. With wooden panelled walls it creates a pop up venue like no other for any festival or public event.
Great structures require great catering. That is why we have teamed up with catering units to supply a range of great food and drinks to provide a food village that people will want to visit.
