Case Background
The tree cover ranges from pine forests in the lower valley to cedar/cedar forests in the middle area, and fir/spruce/oak/horse chestnut/rhododendron in the upper part. The rich natural resources have led to the rapid development of tourism in the city. That is why the client chose to build a transparent plastic dome campsite in this place.
March-November is the best month to explore the area because there is no hindrance to cold weather. At the same time, there are many tourist attractions near the valley. For example, the waterfalls of Tirthan Valley, Shairopa forest complex, Chehni fort of deity Shringa Rishi, Balo temple of deity Balo Nag, Jibhi town, Shoja and the Great Himalayan National Park, etc.
The transparent plastic dome campsite was built halfway up the mountain, making it a great place for stargazing at night. Its unique transparent design became the first stargazing tent in India, filling the market gap in India. It also brings a different experience for travelers.
Transparent Plastic Dome-Moonstone Hammock
We will take a deep look at the transparent dome’s design, ventilation system and the use of high-quality materials, revealing the technical details and ingenuity behind it.
Transparent Design
The biggest selling point of a transparent dome house is its partially transparent exterior design. The transparent covering layer on the top is PVC tarpaulin, which presents the vast starry sky to every occupant without reservation. At night, you can look up at the Milky Way. The side also adopts a transparent design to ensure a wide field of vision. You can have a panoramic view of the lush forest.
Ventilation and Breathability
The PVC tarpaulin of the transparent plastic dome is not breathable. If you need to make it ventilated and breathable, use other facilities to achieve it. Glitzcamp added a solar extractor fan to the transparent dome tent. It cleverly converts sunlight into electrical energy and automatically starts air circulation. The system can also accelerate moisture evaporation in a high-humidity environment and reduce the possibility of mold growth.
High-quality Plastic
The transparent dome uses high-quality PVC tarpaulin, which is a high-grade synthetic plastic that is both flexible and wear-resistant. The PVC tarpaulin not only ensures the strength of the structure, but also has good waterproof and UV protection properties, effectively resisting wind and rain erosion and solar radiation. More importantly, PVC materials have a long service life and are durable. The service life of the shade tarpaulin is 2-8 years, and the service life of the dome transparent part is 1-3 years. It is not easy to tear or age, and is very suitable for use near the foothills of the Great Himalayan National Park in winter.
Travel With Your Pet
Take your furry family members with you on your journey to explore nature. Moonstone Hammock deeply understands the feelings of pet owners and has specially launched pet-friendly facilities and services.
The interior design takes into account the size of pets, ensuring that there is enough space for them to rest and move. The PVC tarpaulin itself has a smooth surface and is easy to clean. Glitzcamp uses easy-to-wipe PVC tarpaulin to build tents and maintain hygiene. The deck is designed with fences to protect the safety of pets. Several pet-friendly facilities and services ensure that your journey will not only enjoy the beautiful scenery, but also share happy times with your beloved pets.
Moonstone Hammock Campsite Construction Challenges
Facing a complex natural environment, Moonstone Hammock campsite construction is not an easy task. This section will explore the three major challenges encountered by Moonstone Hammock during the construction process and their innovative solutions.
Many Mosquitoes
The transparent dome cover has a glass window with a fine insect-proof net. In densely wooded areas, even tiny mosquitoes cannot disturb your peaceful night. If you need a more economical solution, you can choose Glitzcamp’s triangle window
Uneven Terrain
For rugged ground, a transparent plastic dome is designed with an adjustable height support structure Deck. This design allows the hammock to be flexibly placed at different altitudes and terrains, whether it is a slope or a depression. It uses high-strength metal parts that are carefully calculated to be firmly fixed to the ground.
Snowing Problem
Although India is relatively warm all year round, there will still be one or two snowfalls. For this reason, Glitzcamp has added insulation sheets to the transparent plastic dome to facilitate winter travel. The insulation sheets can effectively block the invasion of low temperatures outside and maintain warmth and comfort inside.
Summary
Glitzcamp uses a transparent plastic dome to build the Moonstone Hammock campsite. Faced with the complex natural environment, we conducted targeted analysis and overcame a series of problems such as mosquito bites, terrain, and climate. The transparent design broadens the boundaries of vision, the ventilation system creates a livable microclimate, and the high-quality materials ensure durability and safety. Moonstone Hammock is a resting place built by Glitzcamp for Indian customers, and a dream home under the stars. If you also want to build your campsite, take action now!
