buildings for the leisure sector canvas lodges

In the USA there has been a long tradition of 'wall, wood frame and platform' tents, many of which are still in use in the National Parks such as Yosemite.

Inspired by these structures, the canvas lodges designed by Sweetwater Bungalows provide an affordable, versatile and attractive way to increase your living space. Richly atmospheric and intimate in scale, they create harmony between indoor and outdoor living and offer limitless space options.

A substantial timber frame ensure a robust structure A lodge with 7' walls can be used as a dormitory with 3-4 bunk beds Wooden windows and doors give a feeling of substance The fly sheet sheds the hardest rain A romantic glow at night

These timeless lodges combine stability and protection from a substantial wood frame with lightness and beauty from fabric walls. Natural light permeates throughout the day and they glow with romantic tranquility at night. Together with windows and a door, a cozy space is created.

Uses include:

  • Additional bedrooms
  • Extra dining space
  • Rural retreat
  • Fishing lodge

  • Temporary accommodation
