Freezing Glamping Problems
When the temperature plummets, a glamping site can go from “cosy retreat” to “operational nightmare” in a single night. Frozen pipes, stiff zips, brittle canvas, and heaters working overtime all pile pressure on your infrastructure—and your sanity.
Here’s what freezing weather really does:
- Water systems seize up, leaving guests without taps, showers, or flushing loos.
- Zippers stiffen and crack, especially on older tents or damp canvas.
- Canvas becomes rigid, making doors harder to close and increasing the risk of tears.
- Condensation skyrockets, turning interiors into cold, damp boxes.
- Heaters struggle, pushing your power supply to its limits.
But you’re not powerless.
Quick fixes that keep you in the game:
- Lag and wrap pipes with insulation or even old towels in a pinch.
- Use silicone spray on zips to stop them freezing solid.
- Warm the canvas gently with a fan heater before guests arrive to restore flexibility.
- Add moisture traps or crack vents to reduce condensation.
- Pre‑heat units early so heaters aren’t fighting sub‑zero starts.
Freezing conditions don’t have to freeze your operations. With a few smart tweaks, you can keep guests warm, systems running, and your season on track—even when the weather has other ideas.
