A platform tent is a large tent fixed on a platform, with basic or luxurious interior facilities. It can be used in any open area, from forests to deserts. Is it the right choice for you glamping site? Let’s take a closer look at its unique charm.
Platform Tents: Pioneering the Future of Eco-Friendly Glamping
The world today is facing increasingly serious environmental problems, such as climate change, ecosystem destruction and resource depletion, which makes green and eco-design a key trend that is closely watched by all walks of life around the world.
This construction method reduces pressure on the land and avoids large-scale damage to the ground, especially sensitive ecosystems such as grasslands, forest floors and wetlands. It provides strong support for the tent. After special treatment, it has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and insect resistance.
Platform tents are not only a form of accommodation, but also a revolutionary solution for eco-design. Its unique design concept and sustainable characteristics make it have a wide range of applications in various ecological environments. The construction process of Platform tents involves very little ecological footprint and maximizes the protection of the natural environment surrounding the project site.
Why Choose Platform Tents for Your Glamping?
With comprehensive design and material application, the platform tent has become a strong line of defense in outdoor glamping life, showing excellent performance in the face of natural disasters.
1/ Sustainable Building Materials and Plastic Design
Combining platform tents with these ecological principles is a move in keeping with The Times. Platform tents use sustainable materials, reduce energy consumption, and minimize disturbance to the ecosystem.
Platform tent materials use high plasticity to meet the implementation strategy of low maintenance, low cost and art empowerment. Combine height difference, function and plant landscaping to create landscape space and visual experience with unique scene memory. Platform tents are usually built on temporary foundations and do not require a permanent foundation, which means they can be easily moved to different locations, reducing the permanent impact on the land.
2/ Protect the Tents
The platform protects the tent from damage and the items stored inside from getting soaked. Platforms in certain areas are reinforced to withstand the pressure of heavy snow. Good ventilation under the platform helps air flow and prevents moisture from being trapped. In seasons with high humidity, it can help prevent mold growth. In coastal areas, the platform provides a natural barrier to protect the tent from salt water.
3/ Multi-functional Landscape Space
Landscape space combined with architectural function, make full use of architectural gray space, expand outdoor functional space. Platform tents connect art stage, shared platform and outdoor theater to form a rich and interesting public space system, creating more outdoor activity space for people.
The strong adaptability of platform tents is one of the embodiment of ecological design principles. Their adaptability makes them suitable for a variety of environments, whether beaches, ridges, forests, or lakeside. This flexibility allows people to experience the beauty of nature without causing long-term damage to the natural environment. Platform tents typically don’t require large-scale land development or infrastructure, so they can better preserve the integrity of the original ecosystem.
Zhangjiakou Wetland Park: Eco-friendly Innovation of Platform Tent
We built these platform dome tents in the wetland park in Zhangjiakou, Hebei, China. To cope with the unique geographical conditions of the wetland park, namely the uneven and soft ground and high water content, a series of specially designed platform tents were introduced here. It can be seen that the ground is uneven, and the use of platforms solves this pain point well. It can provide stable support even on the most rugged ground. With the landing of the platform tent, visitors are no longer restricted to fixed building facilities.
Conclusion
Imagine a patchwork of plant groups complementing the artistic framework of platform tents, revealing the beauty and three-dimensional sense of space. Find a quiet space to create a natural forest space, to meet the rest, play, exchange, and enjoy the gift of nature. Between form and aesthetics, it creates a spatial artistic conception of blending design and nature.
Platform tents are a compelling eco-friendly option that not only offers a unique accommodation experience, but also contributes to the goals of sustainability and ecological conservation. Glitzcamp looks forward to seeing the widespread application of this innovative solution in future eco-design projects to jointly create a better environment and future.
