The Glamping Dome Tent is a luxurious and eco-friendly shelter designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a unique, comfortable, and immersive experience in nature. This guide provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for assembling the Glamping Dome, covering each stage from platform setup to final interior touches.
1. Platform Installation
- Location Selection: Choose a flat and secure location to ensure the platform is not threatened by natural disasters like floods or landslides. This will provide a stable foundation for the tent and ease further construction.
- Foundation Construction: According to the construction drawings, dig the foundation pit and lay a concrete or stone base to ensure the platform’s stability and durability.
- Support Structure Installation: Install the platform’s support structure, including columns and beams, as per the construction plan. Secure each support to provide a stable base.
- Laying Platform Panels: Lay the platform panels on the support structure, choosing materials like wood, stone, or composite materials. Consider laying water and electrical pipelines underneath the platform to facilitate future construction and maintenance.
2. Frame Installation
- Preparation: Gather 11 types of poles, each with specific lengths and marked by color and number for easy identification. Place the circular beams on the platform in sequence, but do not pre-fix them to allow for minor adjustments.
- Frame Assembly: Begin assembling from the bottom, matching numbered poles to assemble each layer of the frame. Install and secure the door frame first, then continue assembling upward until the entire structure is complete.
- Continue Assembly: For each additional layer, find the corresponding numbered poles and connect them with bolts. Most joints connect six poles, with some connecting five or four.
- Securing the Base: Use self-tapping screws to fix the circular beam to the platform. Then, secure the tent base to the platform to ensure the entire frame is stable and firm.
3. PVC Membrane Installation
- Unfolding and Positioning: Unfold the PVC membrane and align the entrance area of the membrane with the entrance of the frame. Use ropes to secure the top of the PVC membrane, winding it from top to bottom for even coverage.
- Adjusting Membrane Position: Adjust the PVC membrane so that its entrance and transparent areas align with the frame structure. Ensure the PVC membrane covers all parts of the tent frame.
- Fixing the Membrane: Use the pressing rod to fix the PVC membrane to the frame, passing the rod through the middle of the membrane layers and securing with threaded hooks. Bolts can be used to adjust the membrane’s tightness for a secure fit.
- Connecting the Triangular Window: Divide the triangular window into three points (A, B, C). Cover the outside of the window with the membrane and fix it in place using aluminum strips and self-tapping screws.
- Connecting to the Door Frame: Stretch the membrane over the outside of the door frame, ensuring it is taut. Use self-tapping screws and aluminum strips to secure the membrane along the sides and top of the door frame.
4. Glass Door, Window, and Exhaust Fan Installation
Glass Door Installation
- Drilling and Fixing: Drill three holes at the junction between the glass door and the door frame. Place the glass door onto the frame.
- Securing with Screws: Use self-tapping screws to secure the glass door on both sides and the top of the frame to ensure stability.
Glass Window Installation
- Positioning: Determine the installation position for the triangular or round window and confirm the opening and closing direction.
- Installing the Window Frame: Adjust the window frame to a suitable angle and fix it to the tent frame using screws and nuts.
- Securing the Glass Window: Place the glass window into the frame, adjust the angle, and secure it with screws, ensuring smooth opening and closing.
Exhaust Fan Installation
- Marking the Location: On the PVC membrane, mark the location for the exhaust fan, typically a circular shape. Use a knife to cut a circular hole following the marked outline.
- Drilling and Applying Adhesive: Drill holes along the edge of the circle on the PVC fabric and apply glass adhesive around the edges of the exhaust fan for additional stability.
- Installing the Exhaust Fan: Place the exhaust fan into the pre-cut hole and secure it in place with
- screws to complete the installation.
5. Insulation Layer Installation
- Center Fixing: Identify the top center point of the insulation layer and align it with the center of the tent frame, securing it in place.
- Securing with Zip Ties: Make small incisions along the seams of the insulation layer and use zip ties to secure it at connection points on the frame. Ensure each connection point is tightly fastened.
- Fully Covering the Structure: Stretch the insulation layer to cover all sides of the frame, securing it with zip ties at each connection point to ensure complete coverage.
6. Curtain Installation
- Installing the Track: First, install end plugs on both sides of the curtain track and insert the pulleys. Use screws to fix the track to the upper frame, ensuring the track is parallel to the ground.
- Attaching Hooks and Curtains: Insert the S-shaped hooks into the folds of the curtain fabric, then hang the curtain hooks evenly on the pulleys on the track. This ensures smooth curtain movement, enhancing privacy and comfort within the tent.
