Party season is in full swing, and we will all be attending various outdoor events. There are plenty of opportunities to setting up a wonderful home away from home, follow these tips on Setting Up The Ideal Festival Campsite. Incorporating lighting for the night, shade for the day, and some interesting art pieces are all great ways to make your space feel cosier. We will be covering some tips, tricks and ideas to inspire you for this season
Setting Up Shade Solutions
Summer time in New Zealand is a is a wonderous time. However, the UV radiation is quite extreme so one needs to be prepared for spending long periods in the sun. When setting up your Camp, a good quality gazebo is a wonderful centre-piece. They also have the added benefit of cross beams to hang tapestries from; to make colourful makeshift walls. If your budget does not allow for a decent gazebo. Don’t cheap out and get the most budget one – it will just blow away if you get some wind(which WILL happen). Go for one where the leg and roof structure is one expandable piece, they will stand up to the elements! Tarps can be stretched between car doors or roof racks to create a dry, shady spot. Beach umbrellas are also a good solution, and can be brought next to the dancefloor to have a team rendezvous spot during the day. Personal sun-brellas are also a good idea.
Setting Up Lights Into The Night
Setting up some LEDs stretched around the place, along the path to the camp. Along your tent’s guide ropes, and around the tent’s in your camp to highlight them. This helps you orient yourself, and always find your camp at night. It also has the benefit of looking great! A blacklight can be hung on your gazebo which gives the chance to show off some UV tapestries and decorate your space. One of my favourite parts of a festival is the transformation from day time to night time. The place always looks completely unrecognizable when the sun goes down. Contribute to the transformation – enhance your experience!
Bring Some Art To Your Space
If you have any art pieces that will hold up in the elements, bring them along and setting them up! Think of both things that will be visible in the day, and things that will be visible at night. Use any splash of colour or shape you can think of. Gathering bunches of flowers and shrubbery tastefully arranged can make for great displays. I like to build a little alter with flowers, crystals, and other precious beautiful things. Can be a great point to go and recharge your energy!
Summing up
