This permits the tipi to function like a great umbrella. However, she later told us that she regretted doing this because the cold air filtered in through the gaps where the sections of liner were overlapped. For those who never camp in cold weather, a three-piece liner may be more convenient. However, our customers, who have learned to fold their liner in accordion fashion, seem to have no difficulty handling it and they seem to appreciate a continuous wall of insulation without gaps. The Reese Tipi liner is made of tight weave, high thread count, pre-shrunk, water repellent army duck.
All Reese liners have three rows of ties.
The extra row of ties near the center keeps it snugged in close to the poles and prevents sagging. The Dew Cloth has two door panels - one on each end. This allows for a double overlap in front of the door so that winter campers can go in and out without losing the heat in the tipi. This gives a vertical height of about 6 feet. This high liner is especially recommended for cold weather camping, but is also more effective than a short liner in hot weather.
