Well after many experiments and lots of "trial and error" we finally got the tee pee built and it was painted green 'cameo style' (but i couldn’t find a photo). We designed and built it from scratch and it is now the prototype as it were. So the next batch of people to go out will stay in it and build their own one the same way.
The tee pee is fully waterproof, has a stone and brick fire pit, and a chimney to let the smoke out and stop the rain getting in. So all in all a big success.
We built it entirely from local resources and it eco friendly. The poles came from the nearby forest, the foundations are sand bags with 10 to one sand and cement, the floor boards came from the local saw mill, the chimney was hand made, the fire-pit is made of brick and the canvas and paint was bought in the hardware store.
