Treepee! What a great name. These amazing play tents are shaped like a traditional teepee, yet it hangs from a tree. Children absolutely love these - they are so special and different, and perfect for outdoor play, for boys or girls.

But if you prefer something for indoor play, there are also the lovely indoor hanging play tents, which look a lot like an elegant medieval tent - somewhere a beautiful princess would sit and watch the jousting competitions. Or something like that!

Treepee Hanging Play Tents

This wonderful Treepee hanging play tent is an exciting and innovative new product. It's a mixture of a play tent, tree house, and hammock all in one. Kids can even use it as a kind of trampoline, where they can zip themselves inside, and wobble and bounce, feeling a little like they are surfing in the air, but without any worries of falling.

For a more steady alternative, the hanging tents have 4 tethers, one on each corner, to allow the tent to be secured, making the tent more like a typical play house for the kids to hang out with their friends away from mum and dad. There are pockets on the inside for storage and a bag on a pulley allows essential supplies to be hauled up into the den. The play tent also has fly nets on the windows and the UV protected fabric allows children to play safely in the sun away from harmful rays.

Indoor Hanging Play Tents

Obviously for the Treepee a sturdy tree is required. If hanging a tent from a tree is not a possibility, then consider some of the indoor hanging play tents listed above. These don't actually hang off the ground like the Treepees, but rather hook on to the ceiling (or something high) so they drape down, and create a beautiful play space. Many feel these are a lot easier to handle than, say, a pop-up tent, since all you really need is a sturdy hook in the ceiling. It is of course possible to use these hanging play tents outdoors too, as you can see from the photo below.
