This is easier than building a fort. I pinky swear. The most time consuming is getting four poles. I think these are approximately seven feet tall, but don't quote me on that. Last Saturday, Doug wanted to trim his tree stand so I had the perfect plan..
"Oh honey why you're out there can you cut me four poles please? ;-)

And so he did.
But if you don't have access to woods, I have heard of people using 2x4s cut in half. Probably cleaner, but not as authentic looking.
Next, I tied them together at the top with string I found in the barn.
I had purchased a drop cloth with someday making a teepee in mind. These can be found almost anywhere. Any hardware store, Lowes, Menards, you name it. I found this one at the Lowell Meijer of course. And again, I wonder why my "grocery" bill is so high?!
The size I purchased is 9x12. Which is perfect. I cut it in half so it became 9 x 6.
I then draped it around the Teepee and cut two holes in the top for pull the string through and keep it from falling down.

And well that's it! Literally. I did nothing more! :-)
