African Tent Living, Stylish, breathable, durable

Perfectly earthquake safe structures that will last a lifetime. Built in South Africa, these massive hotel like tents are stylish and provide a large live able space. It takes about 10-12 weeks to manufacture  the various style of tents they offer. Their tents are  130 Sq. Feet (12 Sq. M) to 3,670 Sq. Feet (340 Sq. M) and more. They also allow for you to customize their designs at an additional cost because they check to see if it can handle snow, wind, earthquakes. They work best on a wood or concrete structure that needs to be prebuilt locally. It takes a few days to a week to assemble the tent on location. 


This is the perfect structure in temperate climates and has an advantage over yurts because of the several layers of tent roof that allows for it to breathe. It also allows for taller people more walking space without the fear of hitting your head on top of the tent. Structurally it allows for someone to connect with nature and their environment in a unique way just by rolling up a wall or installing a clear window. 


The company also provides bathroom options and composting toilets for enviromentally fragile environments.
