Teepee Stabilizer Pole Fixator Anti-Collapse Kit for 4 Poles Kids Teepee - Make Tee Pee Stability

This product is ABSOLUTELY necessary if you have a teepee and want it to stay together without collapsing. I knew right away that I would probably need something like this so I ordered it at the same time as I ordered my teepee (which is by JumpOff Jo). It took me a while to put the actual teepee together exactly how I wanted it, but once I figured that out, this teepee stabilizer attached perfectly. It keeps the poles in place and keeps them from moving. You can also order similar type stabilizers from etsy, but this one is cheaper and just as good. It may not seem like much for the price, but it's so worth it. Putting it together is kind of self explanatory from the pictures that are provided in the directions. Overall, this is a product that I'd say is a MUST HAVE if you have a teepee. Unless you feel like wasting a ton of time readjusting teepee poles every time your kid goes in and out of it.Oh...and if you're new to putting a teepee together like I was, you'll need to know that the poles have to align in a certain way at the top (one on top of the other going clockwise). YouTube has some videos on how to do it correctly. I spent an entire morning and afternoon attempting to do it right...it drove me nuts until I figured it out. Stabilizer goes on after you get the poles aligned how they need to be. Then if I remember correctly, the string goes on after that. Anyway, great product!!!

3 year Olds broke the stabilizer when the teepee fell over which was the point of buying it so it didn't keep falling when one of them leaned on the inside wall of the teepee.

Our son got a teepee for his birthday last year but it was not very sturdy because poles kept moving around. Found this and it works so much better than the spheres. They still move a little bit but they pretty much stay in their corners even with the crazy 2 year old running around.

This is a useless item, not needed and more trouble than it’s worth, don’t waste your money!!!It’s currently in the junk drawer!!

Works like a charm. The way I did it was wrap the rope around it firmly, then stuck the bolt through the middle and tightened👍

Not sure how this has negative reviews, this thing works just as advertised. Was it a pain in the but to get on, of course, but thats because i wanted to keep the ties very snug. It keeps it open with only a couple inches of movement, vs the 1-3 feet of movement it had before.

So it wasn't really difficult to put together but I ended up having to buy a separate piece for the top to keep it from collapsing. I tried searching for solutions and saw a couple of other reviews where people didn't have any issues and it appears to be that you have to tie it a certain way and not use the holes that are drilled in it, which defeats the purpose. Well I couldn't figure out the right way to tie it to keep it from collapsing the second my toddler goes in it to play. If you're searching for a TeePee, find one that comes with the piece in the middle; you'll need it.Also, I'm not a big fan of the sheet on the bottom, it's very thin and you'll definitely want to purchase a square cushion if you're using this item on a wood or tile floor.

But didn't need it the teepee maintains it shape fine. If you're having an issue with the teepee staying up would recommend getting this
