The Serengeti Tent

Whether you in-vision a safari style tent hidden deep with in the heart of Africa, or a lake house overlooking the rolling green hills of New Zealand. The Serengeti Tent design comes with many unique features that allow for it to merge perfectly with any environment.

The Serengeti tent is unique because it has a bunch of different options enabling you to determine how big or small you would like it to be. Say you would like a porched area, we can do that. Or if you want a bathroom in there, we can do that too. With the different sizes available we can accommodate and build something that will fit anyones needs.

The smallest version of the Serengeti is the 4 Leg. The overall footprint of the tent is 16.7' x 20.7', or 6.3m x 5.1m. Within that frame, you can put different sized canvas bodies inside of them. Below I have included what bodies work best with the 4 Leg Serengeti:

11 feet 6 inches x 15 feet (4.6m x 3.5m)
11 feet 6 inches x 17 feet (5.2m x 3.5m)
11 feet 6 inches x 19 feet 4 inches (5.9m x 3.5m)

Next in line is the 5 Leg Serengeti. The overall footprint of the tent is 16.7' x 27.5', or 8.4m x 5.1m. Below I have included the body sizes that will work within the 5 Leg Serengeti frame.

11 feet 6 inches x 21 feet 7 inches (6.6m x 3.5m)

The 6 Leg Serengeti is the largest design that we offer for this style. The overall footprint of the 6 Leg Serengeti is 16.7' x 34.4', 10.5m x 5.1m. Below I have listed the possible body sizes for this design:

If you leave enough space, we can add 2 meters, roughly 6.6 ft, to the back of the Serengeti for a bathroom. However, if you take up too much space, you'll lose out on your veranda area.

The Serengeti option is the most customizable design that we offer. With all of possible outcomes, this design is one of our most unique!

Happy February!

Happy February!We hope that each of you enjoyed your weekend and are looking forward to the week that lay ahead.Recently we have been asked some questions that seem to be a great topic for discussion when one is thinking of pursuing a life under canvas and becoming submersed in the beauty of nature. Please keep in mind that we are more than happy to answer any and all questions that each and every one of you may have. Simply send us a message via Facebook or from our website directly (www.exclusivetents.com) and we will get back to you right away.

Many clients in the past have asked what the best way to go about "insect proofing" the tents and decking would be. As with any type of outdoor dwelling it is wise to learn what wild animals, reptiles, amphibians or insects may be present on the property. This will also help determine how to keep the tents, as well as guests safe. It is better to have the knowledge of these creatures than to not have it. Not only is it a way of knowing the existence of such creatures, but can also be a great asset and incorporated into planning. This will also give you an idea on how high the decking will need to be off of the ground to avoid any interference with guests. With the design of our tents, the canvas walls each have a PVC sleeve located at the bottom. You then take the square tubing, which is provided, and fill all of the PVC sleeves. You then drill through the square tubing into the your foundation, which is built on site. This then creates a seal that keeps out the insects and etc. For extra protection you can also then go over the seal with caulking all along the sides of the tent if necessary. Another great solution was shown in a recent trip to one of our tents. The client has raised the tent onto a 12' wooden base where the wall then meets the floor creating an additional seal and some extra precaution against water and insects as such. ( see picture below). Generic insect sprays are also another great simple solution for the perimeter of the tent and decking area.

There are some easy solutions to merging your tent with the environment and helping protect keep out unwanted visitors.
