With an emphasis on sustainability and green technology, all glamping structures and accommodation require ‘rock-solid’ foundations. If those foundations can also be sustainable and use green technology so much the better.
Ground screw foundation systems are sustainable, low impact and unlike traditional excavated concrete foundations, can be installed all year round, in all weather conditions and are perfect for the conservation minded. Ideal for all temporary and permanent glamping structures, ground screws foundations are quick and easy to install whilst being cost effective, making them perfect for all applications such as: yurts, shepherds huts, tepees, wigwams, safari tents, glamping pods, as well as shower and utility blocks.
With a matrix of ground screws installed, a perfectly level platform can be created onto which the desired structure can be located. Even if the topography landscape is uneven or there is a cross-fall, the ground screws can compensate by being installed at differing depths.
Screw foundations are also great for short duration events and shows as they can be easily extracted, should a structure need to be removed or re-located. The only evidence is a matrix of small holes which within weeks disappear, leaving absolutely no trace of what had previously been built.
“Our ground screw foundation system is cost effectively meets the requirements of both permanent and mobile glamping installations,” explained Darryl Gregory of Stop Digging. “Many glamping suppliers require a site to be prepared in advance of delivery. We can create a perfectly level platform of any
size or shape in a matter of hours, significantly reducing site preparation and set-up time.”
The galvanised tapered steel screws are available in various lengths and diameters to accommodate different load requirements and soil consistencies. Differing screw heads are then used, including adjustable mounting plates that provide lateral movement for installations calling for greater accuracy, depending on what type of wooden, steel or concrete beams, joists or posts are to be installed.
Pipe screws, into which steel pipes can be inserted and bolted, are also available for installing environmentally compliant benches, signs, bollards, waste bins and a host of other hard landscaping applications.
