Excellent and far more thought and work put into it than my simpler idea, of just adding a tarp in the middle, to make a ridge style tent but with a side opening flap.
Fancy more space in your polish tipi?

Hi, Thats a great idea that never even crossed my mind to do that will be a lot easier to do as it's just one bit sewn in and no angles to get wrong
Well had the tipi out for a few nights with the stove in some really bad weather too. Think it may have got a bit too heavy for the 30 year original part as when i came back after being away for a few hours the pole had ripped though the top and was sticking out by a foot or so. Oh well back to the drawing board.

should be able to reinfoce that mate, maybe sew pockets the poles can slot into or something

Nightmare, could you put some kind of thin leather cowl on the inside ? Something simple just to sit the pole into.
Shame that Treetop, a piece of leather mould stop the pole going through. Don't right it off just yet, these things are fixable and don't give it to TeeDee, i'm the better choice 
I think a fix will be fairly easy as you say just a bit of extra canvas or leather. But i've decided it's not going on my tour of europe as my bike trailer was getting to heavy 
. It maybe up for grabs but not sure about cost 
and the rip is only about 2" long.
