These plans are for 24ft tipis but can be adapted to any size. The platform is made up of 8 or 9 identical sections 9ft long by 7ft 8 inches on the wide end. The sections are designed to be transported in a full sized pickup truck. Many applications use 8 sections, leaving out a section inside the door. This can be useful for mud control. |

MAKE SURE ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE (Any mistakes are multiplied by 9 on the overall platform). |
