Cirrus 72
The Original Giant Kata Tipi – Born in 1990 – Created by Tentipi
Product Overview
Our Cirrus 72 Nordic Tipi was the Original Giant Kata Tipi. Invented by Bengt Grahn of Tentipi AB, it is the largest tipi in the Cirrus range and the forefather and inspiration for all giant tipis that have followed.
This giant Nordic tipi measures 10.3 metres (33’10”) in diameter and can accommodate up to 72 people seated, or 80 standing. The main difference between this tipi and the Stratus 72, is that the sides cannot be raised – making the Stratus 72 a more flexible and versatile option where space is not an issue.
Whilst the sides cannot be raised, it does have three zip entrances, between two of which a canvas panel can be rolled up to create a wide entrance. The Cirrus 72 cannot be customised with covered entrances or awnings like other tents in the Cirrus range, but it can be kitted out with accessories such as matting, furniture and a fireplace to make a cozy and functional space.
It is a perfect option for anyone who doesn’t need the functionality to raise the sides, like on a Stratus 72, but who need a larger structure than the Cirrus 40.
