What are Gypsy wagons? 

Gypsy wagons, also known as pipowagons or farm wagons, are traditional vehicles with a unique and romantic appearance. They are compact, wooden living and working vehicles with an arched roof, often decorated with vibrant colours (although this is not a must). 

Originally, the wagons were designed for mobility and to be pulled easily by a horse or other draft animal. Nowadays, they are generally no longer mobile, but are used as a charming variation on the garden house or outdoor enclosure. At Tuindeco, you will find pipowagens in all shapes and sizes.


The origins of gypsy wagons 

The history of gypsy wagons dates back to the 19th century. Originally, they were designed for nomadic travellers, such as gypsies and circus performers. The wagons were specifically designed to serve as mobile homes and work spaces for people who were constantly on the move. With their sturdy construction and compact design, they were perfectly adapted to a life on the move.

Where does the name come from? 

If you are familiar with the iconic Dutch television programme 'Pipo the Clown', broadcast from 1958, you will probably recognise the gypsy wagon as originating from this series. In this programme, Pipo the Clown and his friend Mamaloe had countless adventures in their colourful caravan, which at the time was not yet known by the name under which we know it today. This was a special vehicle characterised by its unique appearance with curved roof, vibrant colours and traditional woodwork.

This series is also the reason why the gypsy wagon began to gain so much popularity; countless people wanted to experience for themselves what it was like to live this way and were inspired by the series.

The gypsy wagon: extremely versatile 

Over time, the gypsy wagon has developed into a multifunctional garden house and outdoor accommodation with various uses. For instance, they are often used for recreational purposes, such as location for romantic getaways, holiday accommodation or just a cosy garden office. The intimate atmosphere and cosy furnishings make them perfect for an escape from the daily grind. An increasing number of B&B owners also furnish the wagons as guest accommodation, for cosy and unique accommodation on their own property. 

However, this is not all. In addition, entrepreneurs are increasingly using the wagons as mobile shops, cafes or promotional vehicles, because of their striking appearance. This means that the purposes go beyond that of cosy sleeping place; gypsy wagons are actually very versatile.
