Last year I sold my modified Polish Lavvu, where I attached a skirt to create more usable space.
\nReason was purely the weight. I’m not a camper but a hiker, so I wanted something lighter.
\nAround the same time I was able to buy a second hand Shangri La 3 tent, which I wanted for a long time already.<\/p>\n

The description says it is for 3 people, but thats very tight, and they should not be tall people.
\nIt had the same issue as with all tipi style tents, the sharp corners at the ground take a lot of space up which you can not really use.
\nSo I made the same mod again, by adding a skirt at the bottom, and also making a loose footprint, in case of trips in the snow.<\/p>\n

For the footprint I used a cheap simple tarp from the shop Lidl, measured it out and made the cuts.<\/p>\n

Adding a seem and in each of the 6 corners a loop to stake it out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Done.<\/p>\n

The Shangri-La 3 tent is made of some really thin lightweight material, which I do not have in stock, so I used 100% polyamid which was impregnated. I had a piece of 9 x 1.5 meters still, so I cut of a strip of 29 cm in the length. The 9 meters length was perfect as each side of the tent is 1.5 meters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Done as well. The tent is now 24 cm higher in total, and this effectively provides 50 cm of usable space in diameter. Now 3 people will fit easily including backpacks.
\nTotal weight without footprint is now 1.3 kg.
\nStill pretty lightweight \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No changes to the centerpole where needed. In original mode it was also set to the second last hole.
\nNow it is set to the 2nd hole from the top.<\/p>\n
