I am the worst teepee builder-

Tracydr · June 19, 2015

So, as I said. I am awful at constructing bamboo teepees. I need remedial training. Can somebody please help me to learn how to build a decent teepee?
How many bamboo poles should I use, how do I make them even, tie the top and keep them from falling over? How many beans should be planted and where?
My two that I have right now are crazy lopsided and keep getting blown over. Beans are only about 6-12" so I can still make changes.
I have one teepee with 3 varieties of regular beans and another with runner cowpeas.
