Tented Structures<br />
Wild Luxury, Norfolk<br />
Product: 18 safari tents of varying sizes<br />
Supplier: BOND Fabrications, 01453 767171,<br />
enquiries@bondfabrications.co.uk, www.bondfabrications.co.uk<br />
Details: Glampsite Wild Luxury on the Norfolk coast has been a client of<br />
BOND for over 12 years as it has grown and expanded. Having started with<br />
just five of BOND’s safari tents, the site now has 18 of varying sizes including<br />
large safari tents and Master Safari Lodges that can sleep larger groups or<br />
a couple of families. All structures were developed with the client’s specific<br />
needs in mind and the results are stunning!<br />
BOND says it is always a pleasure to see its clients’ business develop and<br />
that it is a joy to foster those relationships. The team makes it a priority<br />
to support clients long after an initial sale and, being a British-based<br />
manufacturer, it is always on hand and specialises in helping create bespoke<br />
structures.<br />
Customer feedback: Jonathan Barber, owner, said: “We initially chose<br />
BOND simply because they offered the highest quality product at the most<br />
affordable price. Over the years we have found that it is the level of personal<br />
service combined with an ability to customise their product that truly sets<br />
them apart.”<br />
New Range of Nomadic Tents<br />

We are making a new range of nomadic tents<br />
known as ‘alachighs’. These structures originate<br />
from the Shahsevan tribe of Iran and they are<br />
like a yurt without the trellis walls – a dome<br />
with elegantly continuous curved rafters, like a<br />
cathedral.<br />
We are currently making a large 30ft alachigh<br />
with a modern twist, using metal connectors<br />
for the rafters and horizontal struts and a metal<br />
wheel. This will be for sale as a large, beautiful<br />
space perfect as an affordable glamping tent or for<br />
guests wanting something nomadic and traditional<br />
but novel. Also perfect for magical events, theatre<br />
or novel tourism experiences or even as a grand<br />
themed restaurant.<br />
We are one of the UK leaders in canvas covers<br />
and for over 10 years we have been focusing on<br />
bringing back a different nomadic tent at a time.<br />
This your chance to own something no one else<br />
has.<br />
We call these µ-tents (using the Greek letter Mu)<br />
because they represent mutant tent forms of the<br />
nomadic tradition that are now extinct. We aim to<br />
follow with a Nogay cart tent (wedding yurt on a<br />
cart), a Scottish traveller tent and others. We aim<br />
to weave handmade elements that exalt British<br />
artisan manufacture, using stainless steel, steamed<br />
ash, one hundred per cent wool felt and British<br />
proofed army grade canvas.<br />
As tent making in the UK is becoming rarer, with<br />
many structures now drop-shipped from abroad,<br />
we hope you join us in this adventure. Contact<br />
us to order your bespoke yurt cover or unique<br />
nomadic tent like no other.<br />
