PLEASE NOTE: THIS PAGE IS FOR THE COMPLETE PAC KAGE OF A LAVVU – INCLUDING PO LES. The lavvu poles shown in the photo are included with this order. Note Also: We often have backorders. What is a Lavvu? The Lavvu is a temporary dwelling used by the Sami people (also spelled “Saami”, but derogatorily known as’Lapps’ or’Laplanders’) of northern Scandinavia and the Nenets and Khants of northern Russia. Its simplicity enabled the Sami to move quickly with their semi-domesticated reindeer herds at a moment’s notice. This structure enabled the indigenous cultures of the treeless plains of northern Scandinavia and the High Arctic of Eurasia to live in harmony with nature. Although the Lavvu can be easily confused with the Native American Tipi. It’s not a Tipi! The differences between the two structures are reflected in their respective environments and cultures. The lavvu is normally smaller and can be set up by only one person. Being more centered to the ground, the Lavvu is also better able to endure the fierce winds of the Scandinavian tundra, thus a more stable structure. Few structures used by indigenous peoples, with the exception of the Inuit (Eskimo) Igloo, are as stable in strong winds. What are the materials in this lavvu? The lavvu material is mad e of 10.10 ounce Cotton Duck fabric, which is a common and natural material. Most tipis in North America are made of the material and, with proper care, will last for many years to come. The disadvantage with cotton duck over Sunforger is that it is not mold or mildew, or water resistant. If you wish something more mildew resistant, please check out our Sunforger lavvu items. Sunforger has been used for many years in other tent structures such as tipis, and it has been used very useful for lavvus that will be set up for over the entire season and/or in wet environments. There is little difference in fire resistance between cotton duck and Sunforger material. This fabric is most recommended for the following conditions.
