Dear Exclusive Tents

Dear Exclusive Tents,

I have been interested in some of your tents for a resort that we are planning on creating for a while now, and I would really like to know more about any and all foundation recommendations that you may have for us toconsider when preparing our land for such an establishment.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your valued inquiry. Building a resort from the ground up can seem a bit overwhelming at times with all of the options and decisions that need to in place for a resort to properly come together. Here at Exclusive Tents we are more than happy to provide suggestions based upon our own and past clients experiences to make the entire process seem painless.
As for a proper foundation to our tents this is a huge factor to consider when choosing to establish a tented retreat. Each one of our designs do need to be secured to a solid base except for The Budget Serengeti Tent. For the inside tent flooring we do have a few different options we can suggest.

Preferably our tents require a wooden deck for them to be built on. A concrete slab or flagstone will also suffice. We do offer a pvc groudsheet, but strongly suggest going with a wooden decking for a few reasons. The main reason we suggest a wooden decking/platform over the pvc groundsheet is because it gets very scruffy and wears through with time and is not easy to replace. So the longevity of the wooden decking is normally recommended. A concrete slab or flagstone will also suffice.

The deck component can be the easiest or most contentious, as everyone has their own ideas and a creative side. Also some folks may bring in an architect into the mix, who will be able to make things more interesting, and at times more costly. Be reminded that in many instances the deck or platform supporting the tent may turn out more costly than the tent itself. The platform can also be made of concrete, a mix of stone, brick, and mortar, but at the end of the day, one would like to create a base that is rigid and strong enough to support the tent. We like to suggest that one tries to avoid rectangles and squares, however, this is not always possible due to budget constraints.



Happy Friday!
