Step 2: Hammer and Shape

Loosen the soil where dots are marked with a sharp shovel to a depth of 1 foot for each of the six posts. Using a mallet -- or even a large rock -- pound the vertical posts into the ground.

Measure 1 foot down from the top of each vertical post, and then tie opposite sides together to make three teepee shapes.
