The size of our teepees, stated in feet, refers to the floor diameter measured from below the door hole to the center back of the teepee. Various dimensions for some of our teepees are shown below, with an approximation of the headroom at 5 feet of height. When set up, the back of the teepee will be 3' shorter than the front side where the door is. This difference causes the teepee to tilt to the rear rather than being a perfectly symmetrical cone. As a result of this tilt, the floor of the teepee is egg-shaped, making it longer from front to back than from side to side.
