Coalbunker<br />

Product: SIPs build kits<br />

Supplier: Outerspace Group<br />

GLAMPING<br />

Outerspace manufactures structural insulated<br />

panel (SIPs) building kits with sustainable<br />

materials to trade customers all around the UK.<br />

Kits are designed to produce minimal waste using<br />

sustainable materials. No need for multiple material<br />

deliveries – Outerspace sources everything for the outer<br />

structure, conveniently delivering the whole kit in a single delivery, minimising carbon footprint. Build<br />

times are significantly faster than timber frame buildings saving significant labour costs.<br />

One trade client, Coalbunker, confirms the above. Having met at the Glamping Show in 2021,<br />

Outerspace saw the company’s show building and they started talking further. 12 months later the same<br />

building was at the 2022 glamping show but with one difference – it was built with SIPs. Here’s what<br />

Coal Bunker’s commercial manager Chris Davies said of the kits: “SIPs have enabled us to significantly<br />

increase our manufacturing capacity. We site build glamping pods all across the UK and the team at<br />

Outerspace has helped us to expand and keep up with increased customer demand.”<br />

Bracken<br />

Treehouse<br />

Service: Consultancy and booking agent<br />

Supplier: Canopy & Stars, 0117 204 7830<br />

Canopy & Stars consultancy team, alongside<br />

Crown & Canopy, worked with Bracken<br />

Treehouse from when they had only trees to<br />

the launch of their beautiful space.<br />

Beginning with a viability assessment and<br />

planning support, the team offered ongoing<br />

informal advice while owner Nick’s vision took shape in the build. When the space was ready, he turned to<br />

Canopy & Stars for pricing advice and the successful launch on Canopy & Stars’ marketing platform.<br />

Bracken Treehouse launched in 2022, and has since achieved an average nightly rate of £194 and 78%<br />

occupancy.<br />

“We felt it would be good to get a second opinion from someone who knew the industry inside and<br />

out – just to make sure we were on the right track... and what changes would make our treehouse more<br />

attractive to guests,” says Nick.<br />
