High value insulation stitched between two layers of canvas.

Our fire retardant specifications meets the BS7837 (British Standard), NFPA701 (American National Fire Protection) & CPAI-84 (California Industrial Fabrics Association)

Some tents cost more than others per square foot/meter so we are not able to calculate prices in this way. Each tent price is calculated differently and based on the structure, labor and complexity to manufacture. Custom options such as insulation, openings and frames used can also affect the price. Prices exclude freight, wooden platforms, layout, electrical, plumbing, interiors, fixtures, appliances, setup, duties and related costs.

Yes. Contact us with your ideas, plans or drawings.

Yes, wooden decking is most popular but floating decks and poured concrete slabs have all been frequently used. The tents must be secured to a solid base.

Minimum deck/platform size should be extended out 1m/3ft from all sides of the tent. This allows for enough room to set up the tent as well as for tent maintenance in the future. Be sure to allow enough crawl space underneath the deck to run and maintain utilities.

No. Depending on your region, we can put you in touch with one of our partners who can supply all components of decking from the substructure to the planks. They also supply tongue and groove inner flooring along with a moisture barrier that is installed between the decking and the inner floor of the tent.

Yes. We have absolute talent and understanding of how critical a deck is when it comes to achieving your vision.

Yes, this is one of the important features of the hanging body style tent. They can be taken down relatively easily in the case of impending severe weather such as Cyclones, Hurricanes, etc. The installation of framed doors and windows into the tents will impede this feature.

Our tents are very different in many ways from yurts. The points below show some of our tent features and represent some of the differences between our tents and yurts.
· 3 roof layers for natural cooling in warm conditions and added protection of the tent.
· The tents are easy and quick to assemble and to break down (unless wooden doors/windows are installed).
· The tents consist of individual components that can be replaced as need be, that the tents never need to be replaced in their entirety.
· Fabric is a heavy ripstop canvas and treated with UV protection, fire retardant, anti rot and waterproofing. Our canvas is not your typical cotton canvas.
· Tent comes with inner liner and curtain option
· The tents can be insulated.
· Our designs are majestic, elegant and aesthetically pleasing.
· We also supply a canvas maintenance compound that further extends the life of the canvas, that when applied, restores UV protection, fire retardant, anti rot, water proofing & original color.
· Better use of space.
· We can customize window and door openings to meet the customer requirements.

A yurt is a circular domed “tent” of skins or felt stretched over a collapsible lattice framework.

No. The tents must be set up on a wooden platform or concrete base.

Each tent is priced differently. Select which tent/s you are interested in and then make an inquiry. The inquiry forms can be found on each tent page. Please include as much detail as possible regarding your project as well as any questions you cannot find in this FAQ. Circumstances allowing, we should be able to respond to you later that day or early on the next day.

You will be provided with a freight quote estimate to a destination port once we have determined what tent design(s) and quantity(s) are required. Please keep in mind that brokerage, import duties, taxes, and other costs related to shipping/import at the destination country port, are not included in the freight quote estimate that we send you. Also, some countries require specific documents for clearing purposes that are not considered “standard.” So it’s always good to confirm with your local shipping agent or specialist exactly what documents they need prior to the shipment arrival. Shipping quotes are valid for only 30 days and we handle all freight logistics to destination ocean port or airport.

Yes. Please inquire for more information.

We will do our best to accommodate any change requests depending on the stage in the manufacturing process. Please note changes may incur additional fees and may delay the manufacturing lead time greatly due to modifying CAD drawings as well as placement in the production line.

Supervised Set Up Cost Considerations: 

*Set up time depends on the tent design(s), quantity of tents to be set up and the skill of the labor.

*Minimum number of workers and set up supervisors will be determined thereafter.

*Number of supervisors and number of skilled/semi skilled labors directly impact the total set up time frame.

*Quantity of tents and tent designs requiring supervision.  -The client has the choice of supervised tent set up for one of each tent design or the entire tent project.  If Exclusive Tents supervises the set up of one tent per design, the laborers will need to learn the concept to carry on with the set up of the tents without our immediate supervision.

*Exclusive Tents Supervisors are located in Arizona (USA), Belize and South Africa.

*Any delays on the job site due to lack of preparedness may cause delay in set up resulting in additional daily rate charges, airline ticket changes, extended hotel stays, etc. that is the burden of the client.

*A tool list will be supplied prior to tent set up that the client must have on site at the time of arrival. i.e. drills (power source or extra batteries), scaffolding, ladders, etc.

*The client is responsible for round trip airfare, visas (if required), covid related costs, transport to/from airport/hotel/job site, 3 meals per day per person, accommodation and internet service.

*Working hours can range from 8-10 hours per day

We can customize the tent in 4 different ways to handle the wind in your area. See the break down below:

Outriggers – 75 kmh to 85 kmh – 46 mph to 53 mph
Increase wall thickness of the legs – 100 kmh to 114 kmh – 63 mph to 71 mph
Wood pole and ring beam with small outrigger – 136 kmh to 155 kmh – 85 mph to 97 mph
60 mm framing with wood pole, ring beam and little outrigger – 180 kmh to 205 kmh – 113 mph to 128 mph

Yes, insulation is an option. We offer a highly rated insulation that is sewn between two layers of canvas. As you may have noticed elsewhere on the website, Block-out canvas is also an option. Please note this is NOT insulated canvas. Block-out canvas prevents any silhouetting that may occur on lighter colored canvas.

Yes, the tents are 100% waterproof when installed correctly.

Yes, the tents can handle snow. If you are going to be putting tents in a high snowfall area, consult with us so we can discuss how much snow you are talking about so we can decide if you need to make any customizations. These include increasing the pitched on the roof, special modification of the roof design, or using a larger diameter frame.

Yes, our tents can handle sun with ease and are UV protected. We have tents doing well in the intense sun of the Namibia, Kalahari, Sahara, Sonoran, tropical islands and other locations.

Our tent canvas and outer roof layers can be treated iwth fire retardancy. This will help to delay the flame, however, it is imperative to remember that all fabrics will become flammable after being exposed to a flame after a period of time. Safety and prevention are key. It is best to ensure that one has good quality fire extinguishers at all strategic points.

Yes, Rain harvesting will be accomplished from each of the tensioning points on the frame. To maximize rain harvesting you will attach a rain chain at each of those points and feed the rain chains through the deck. You will then run a gutter system under to deck and direct the water towards a collection point.

Yes. Hanging body style tents are temporary structures as they can be taken down and set back up again. The hanging body tents are an excellent choice for where hurricanes/tsunamis/cyclones occur in the world. With enough advance warning of severe weather events you will be able to take down your asset to avoid the possibilities of getting your asset destroyed. After the storm has passed you can set your tent back up. The hanging body tents are also an excellent choice for solutions when you have a land lease. When your lease is up you can take your assets with you and move to the next place.

Locking the doors is a good deterrent, just as it is in a home or hotel. Be that as it may if someone wants to burglarize a tent, they surely will, as is the case with any other site built structure. Any deterrence can be used such as motion detection lighting, alarms, surveillance cameras, etc can be installed.

We typically do not keep tents in stock. However, in rare cases we do have tents in stock. Keep an eye on our Social Media pages to see availability.

We are in the process of making show room for select tent designs. Keep an eye out for the newsletter to receive updates.

Yes

Most places tents do not require permitting, however, it is your responsibility to check with your local authority to verify. Please contact us if you need any information to assist your inquiry with your local authority.

Yes, we offer a site evaluation service, contact us for more details.
