This interview is long over due! Today, we have the Owner and operator of 4 Rivers Floating Eco Lodge in Cambodia, Valentin Pawlik, and the Owner and CEO of Exclusive Tents, Paul Zway, who is making his debut on the channel. We are going to have a casual conversation on how 4 Rivers came to be. We all laugh about it, because we know the truth. But before we get started, let’s clear the air once and for all. A few companies out there take credit for 4 Rivers, and use the photos of your tents in their promotions. But what company did you work with, and order your tents from? Through your time of building 4 Rivers, you and Paul have become good friends. Paul has even flown out for a few days to spend time with you in Romania, and helped with the setup of your tents in Cambodia. Can you both share a story of your adventures together? Valentin, is 4 Rivers the first resort that you developed, or have you been in the hospitality industry for a while? Paul you have had the pleasure of going to 4 Rivers, but Valentin, can you tell us what makes your resort so unique? Valentin, you were a little before your time. To my knowledge, you may be one of the first ones to develop a glamping resort at the scale that you did. When you were planning out your ideas, tents and glamping was a foreign concept. What made you choose them over a traditional structure? Paul, it was many years ago now, but do you remember when Valentin reached out to you? And how did the beginning conversations go? Did the project start with the idea to put the tents on floating platforms? Valentin, you’ve definitely watched Glamping grow from nobody knowing what it is, to a hot topic in the hospitality industry. Do you have any predictions for the future? And Valentin, if you were to give one piece of advice to a person wanting to get into the glamping industry, or start a project of their own what would it be?

Welcome back to the Exclusive Tents channel. We appreciate all of the positive feedback, comments, and new subscribers. It's making everything worth it, and as a bonus to you, you get to watch us learn how to use camera equipment! In today’s video we want to talk about the back bone of all luxury Glamping tents - framing! Lets roll the intro, and get straight into it. I can't stress enough how important the frame of ANY tent is. It’s the backbone of the entire structure and supports everything below and above it. Luxury tents are big structures and they need to be able to withstand very extreme weather conditions, and not once, but over and over again for decades. If there are any compromises in the frame design, or materials, I can assure you that the entire structure becomes compromised. We will get more into that in our next video. In the industry the most common tubular steel framing for luxury tents is 25-38mm in diameter or .9 - 1.49 in. We have done extensive testing in the real world, with real tents and can assure you that 25-38mm steel frames are not adequate and in most applications, they won’t stand the test of time. I'll get back to why I said “most” in a moment. Generally speaking they are not nearly strong enough or safe enough for commercial use. Now circling back to the 38mm frames, they are reasonable when dealing with structures that are around the 200sqft (18sqm) range. When working with designs like in our Exclusive Collection, the 38 mm frame just won’t stack up. Remember, you’re putting guests, family and friends inside these structures. Safety is paramount. You need the peace of mind that your tents will comfortably stand in nasty weather, not going to just barely make it. One of our clients sent us a picture of what appears to be a 32 or 38mm frame that is being manhandled or moved. In this image it is important take away that the frame is already warping, bending, flexing, and bowing under its own weight and it doesn’t even have the heavy fabric layers on it yet! Now imagine what it will do when a powerful wind or storm hits it..... Here at Exclusive Tents, when we’re manufacturing and designing, we focus heavily on SAFTEY and it all starts with the frame. We use a 49 - 50mm tubular steel framing or 1.9 in. Wether we use 49 or 50mm depends on the design of the tent. We are the only manufacture on the market offering such a robust steel frame as a standard. In addition to our thick steel frames we offer a patented one of a kind frame design. This unique assembly uses the center apex pillars, with dual joining ridge poles and a triangular truss bracing system integrated within it. All of our tents come standard with our outrigger bracing system on the vertical steel legs. This is also a variation of the triangular truss system and brings another layer of integrity and rigidity to the structure as a whole - making it.. safer. It’s clever thinking plus experience and a “no shortcut approach” that has made Exclusive Tents the world leader in luxury tent manufacturing for over two decades now. Some say we might “over engineer” our tents, but we think that is a silly notion to have. That’s like going to a doctor and being upset that they studied too much. No wants an average doctor and no one wants just an average tent. We’ve all had that giddy feeling when we ordered something and we knew it was going to be amazing, but when it arrived it was even BETTER then we expected - well, thats what we are all about here at Exclusive Tents. Thanks so much watching this video and if you like what we are doing show your support by liking the video and subscribing to our channel. We'll catch you in the next one.
What sets us apart - Exclusive Tents Explains

Exclusive Tents was founded in 2005, but the Zway's and Maree's have been perfecting our craft since 1984. We are two families that came together to make the most durable and luxurious glamping tents on the market. Every stitch stitched, every piece of canvas cut, and every welded piece of steel is our form of art. To us, these are more than just tents, these are pieces of art crafted from our hands with passion and love. Each tent is so special to us, that we find it difficult to send them off to their new destinations. But as the next set of tents set sail to its new home, whether it be Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, USA, Mexico or wherever, we know we are slowly decorating the earth. With a mission of keeping things eco friendly, with minimal footprint, and integrating nature within our designs, there are an infinite amount of options. With each step forward and every new tent, we are making the world our canvas.

Every family has a tradition. Some are holiday gatherings, getting together certain days of the week, or even that family vacation the first week of summer. Ours, is that we braai. If you’re in the States, its BBQ, its referred to the Barbie in Australia, and every place calls it something a little different, but in South Africa its called a braai. Every Friday we shut down the laptops and get together to take time away from the screen to visit with each other. We open a beer, or pour a glass of whiskey, rum, or whatever you drink of choice is. This is an old tradition that started before the company. And with starting any company there are ups, and downs in the beginning. No matter how the week went, good or bad, we braaied. Maybe one of us sold a tent that week, or maybe we didn’t, we braaied. It didn’t matter how successful we were, or weren’t, we braaied. And to this day, 15 years later, on Friday… We braai.

Wavefront - Costa Rica - https://bit.ly/2ZOZmuB Facebook: https://bit.ly/2NL8aLV​ Instagram: https://bit.ly/2BspBOW​ Linked in: https://bit.ly/2NJv9qD​ Twitter: https://bit.ly/3dOjNwf​ Website: https://www.exclusivetents.com Welcome back to the Exclusive Tents channel. Well I can safely say that 2021 has kicked off with a bang. Honestly at this pace this might be the busiest year for Exclusive Tents…. Maybe ever. We have so many amazing and unique projects in the works and we’re bursting at the seams to share them all with you. Unfortunately cant share all the projects we have going on because we have signed quite a few NDA’s... but In this video we want to share what we can! For us, Costa Rica has been a hot spot, Airbnb’s are opening, private tented homes are being completed. Tents arrived this week in Bangkok, Isreal, and tents are almost done being setup in Spain, and when it comes to the United States, we have some massive news about whats in the works. A lot is happening here at Exclusive Tents, so lets get into it. First, lets talk a little bit about Costa Rica. We welcome Wavefront to the Exclusive Tents family. Wavefront is a family owned Airbnb in Costa Rica. 2 beautiful Kingfisher tents sit hill side with stunning ocean and sunset views. This project was created by an amazing mother daughter duo and we are honored to be able to work with them. They are not open to the public yet, but they will be soon. We will definitely be making an announcement when they open, but for now we have linked their instagram account below in the description - go check it out. As I mentioned in a past video we were out doing a setup for 4 Fish Eagle tents in Costa Rica. These are private tents used for a beach side home. Here is a quick video walk through of the interior of the tents being finalized and finished. These tents turned out absolutely amazing! We love that families are starting to use our tents for their personal vacation homes. This family project in Costa Rica are currently setting up their Mambrrr tents. They’re planning on using them for family gatherings, parties, and taking personal time outside of the city to just relax. As pictures roll in of this project, we will be sharing them. As we have said before, we get a little attached to the tents before the leave. We hate seeing them go, but we love seeing them setup. The first of many tents just arrived in Bangkok this week. This project is going to be a very large scale development in Asia. Stay tuned for more updates on the progress of this project. This is one of those hush-hush projects that we cant talk too much about - but it’s going to be big! We are proud to be apart of a small family owned boutique resort in Isreal. As seen here they’re pouring the foundation for their Serengeti tents that will be used for guest rentals. And I must say, they have some of the most epic pictures I have ever seen of the construction phase. This project is almost complete and we will share some official pictures very soon. Lets chat a little bit about Spain! This unique glamping experience uses the Kambaku tents for their luxury accommodations. Strict lockdowns in Spain has slowed down this tent setup quite a bit, but they’re looking to be open within the next few months. I can’t wait to see some of the professional photos that are taken of these tents! We were asked not to announce the name, or exact location yet. But when they’re ready to make the public launch, we will be ready. The mother of all tents is also completed, and ready for quality control. This large, one of a kind, custom tent will be shipping to Guam to be used for a luxury restaurant and a bar. Whats unique about this tent is how wide and long it is, and it does not have 1 interior pole. Be sure to follow our social media’s to be the first to see the pictures of this tent. Its a massive custom tent and without a doubt, it will be flagship in the area. And now.. let's get to the United States. This is where our hands have been tied by some rather serious NDA’s - BUT we are able to share some nuggets of information with you. Right now if you are in the Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville areas - we have a very large project that is secretly under way. By the end of this year, people in these areas will be able to see our tents in a stunning location and at a large scale! This project is going to be one of the largest, if not the largest Glamping development on the eastern side of the USA. AND That.. is all I can say right now. As if that news isn’t big enough, we are currently in the throws of developing the largest luxury Glamping Resort in the United States….. Let me say that again, we (Exclusive Tents) are in the process of developing the Largest Glamping Resort in the United States ! Now we are wrapped in an iron clad NDA on this one as well, but as soon as we get the green light to share more information... we will!
