Shelters Unlimited
TENT ARCHITECTURE

ABOUT SHELTERS UNLIMITED

For at least fifteen years before Shelters Unlimited was formed, we were using tipis on a daily basis, making tents, building and testing traditional shelters as viable temporary housing.

These years of experience have given us a comprehesive knowledge and understanding of the various structures, particularly the tipi.  Tribal tents are serious pieces of architecture in the sense that they are designed to do the same job as a house or other permenant structure.  The maker of these structures is a serious architect with similar
responsibilities.

There are many uses for these types of structure in the modern world.  We applied our knowledge of  various tents to modern applications and peoples needs and Shelters Unlimited was established in 1994, we became the first UK
company to promote tipis in mainstream modern society.

We create shelter where our customers need it taking into account the environment whether that be urban, sub-urban or rural, using tribal structure to achieve the desired effect.



The tipi is a new and unfamiliar product and it is this structure that we specialize in.   Shelters Unlimited is the only source of general information about tipi construction available even on the internet.  Only one definitive book has ever been written on the subject.  There are very few people that have used tipis enough to be capable of offering these structures as a commercial product and out of those who do have this knowledge most don¹t.

As a company Shelters Unlimited can offer customers more than 20 years of hands on experience in the field and a commitment to customer care that will ensure the success of both the customers projects and our products. We are the only UK company that offers a complete service, including the supply of equipment and complimentary products.

Shelters Unlimited realise the importance of giving customers the information that they need to use the product to their best advantage.
