Wilde Lodge is a stunning wedding venue in Wales<br />
and the owners wanted a truly unique structure to<br />
fit in a quirky space… a white marquee was not an<br />
option!<br />
It was great to work with Jemma and Kevin, the<br />
solution was a bespoke sized large canvas safari tent<br />
with traditional features yet having the structural<br />
integrity of a permanent installation.<br />
Jemma spoke about the process: “We contacted<br />
Bond and were impressed with their customer<br />
service. They came to visit our site and listened to<br />
our business and ideas. Every time someone walks<br />
into the tent, their reaction is always the same, ‘this<br />
is magical’. The tent is the best asset to grow and<br />
develop as a business. We are absolutely thrilled<br />
with it!”<br />
We love a challenge, and have 35 years of<br />
experience, technical know-how and a skilled team<br />
at Bond. We offer full design and manufacture<br />
services using robust frames and the highest quality<br />
fabrics. As a true British manufacturer, we pride<br />
ourselves on exceptional quality, skilled attention<br />
to detail and a local personal service with ongoing<br />
support.<br />
The family owners of the Grade 1 listed Stradey<br />
Castle had a requirement to significantly<br />
increase parking provision at the property in<br />
order to facilitate expansion of its use as a venue<br />
for weddings and functions, as well as a filming<br />
location.<br />
Access to a grassed area used for marquees<br />
and as an outside space also needed to be<br />
reinforced to prevent damage being caused by<br />
the vehicles of caterers and other suppliers.<br />
Due to the sensitive nature of the location,<br />
tarmac or concrete was not desired. For both<br />
applications, S2T Group’s PERFO-AK Anchor Tile<br />
ground reinforcement system of interlocking,<br />
self-anchoring tiles was selected. The car park<br />
was created on an area of scrubland which was<br />
cleared and levelled, a sub-base prepared at the<br />
PERFO-AK tiles embedded into a layer of fine<br />
crushed stone. Seeded soil was added to the<br />
parking bays so that they would green over to<br />
differentiate them from the manoeuvring areas.<br />
The resulting self-draining, durable car park<br />
blends in with the natural surroundings while<br />
providing parking for approximately 50 cars.<br />
