Tipi Build, Design Help Needed

Very nice. Yeah, Seek Outside and not DIY is nice, too. Still want to build a smaller one, though.

I think I need a slightly longer center pole.
Also, I forgot to leave seam margin at the peak, so my peak seams are a little funky and it kind of spirals round a center point. It makes getting the top taut a little challenging. I'm going to take up some slack and fold down and sew over some extra when I put the stove jack in tonight.
I think a 6" longer pole and that will perk things up a bit.
Catenary curves seemed to work alright. I'm generally pleased. Weighs about 4 lbs before stove jack and center pole. I'll buy a new center pole in the US when I return.

Here’s a vid of me putting two of the panels together... fairly time consuming with my basic machine.

Yeah thanks, it was a ton of work really. Although, I did have to learn to sew before doing it, so there was a steep learning curve.
I used a rolled hem foot on the base last night and saved myself a ton of time. I also installed the stove jack, which I think turned out pretty well. Excited for elk hunting now!
The material is a silpoly PU4000, so I hope we'll have some good waterproofness and limited stretch. I bought a titanium goat wifi stove on here from another member, so I'm excited to see how it transpires.
Still, I'll definitely buy my next tipi and stick to small projects, 1 man tents or tarps in the future.
