[0002] Recently, glamping, as well as camping, has become increasingly popular as a way to enjoy outdoor living. Glamping is a combination of glamorous and camping, and unlike camping, glamping does not require any preparation such as setting up a tent, and ingredients for barbecuing are provided, so it is easy to use and offers a more sophisticated outdoor experience than camping, which is a major attraction of the facility.

[0003] Glamping tents are generally dome-shaped and constructed with sturdy frames, making them safe, and they have electricity, allowing you to spend time comfortably in nature. They are not limited to tent-type tents; there are also trailer house and container house types. Many glamping facilities are also equipped with bathing and shower facilities, and some even have footbaths.

[0004] Many of the sites for glamping facilities and general campsites are located in places with clear air, making them ideal locations for gazing at the stars at night. However, there are no glamping facilities or campsites that are equipped with facilities such as observation decks that can be easily used by facility users for such purposes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The observation deck for installation at a campsite according to the present invention is characterized in that it is constructed by installing an observation stage 4 on the top of a scaffolding frame 1 that is assembled so that it can be reached by climbing a staircase 2, and that it is possible to view the starry sky and surrounding scenery from the observation stage 4.

[0016] The scaffolding frame 1 in the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4 is set up along a tree 11, and the scaffolding frame 1 in the second embodiment shown in Figures 5 and 6 is in a straddling shape and is installed so as to straddle a tent 12.

[0017] First, the first embodiment will be described. The observation deck of the first embodiment is characterized by having a vertically long scaffolding frame 1 incorporating a staircase 2, with an observation stage 4 provided at the top of the scaffolding frame 1, which allows visitors to enjoy the starry sky and surrounding scenery in a relaxed mood on the observation stage 4. Preferably, the scaffolding frame 1 is set up along trees 11, incorporating nature.

[0018] The scaffolding frame 1 can be made of materials such as wood, but it is recommended to use a wedge-fastening type scaffolding configuration called Bamboo Scaffolding (registered trademark), which is commonly used as residential scaffolding and is easy to assemble and provides sufficient strength. Bamboo Scaffolding (registered trademark) is a scaffolding that is assembled by fastening handrails, diagonal braces, etc. to the fastening parts via wedges using pipes with fastening parts at regular intervals as supports, and is a scaffolding that is simple in configuration but has excellent safety, workability, and durability, and assembly and dismantling work can be done with just a hammer, making it suitable for use in the present invention.

[0019] The scaffolding frame 1 is assembled into a square pillar shape with a height of about 7 m, for example, with the stairs 2 built in, and an observation stage 4 is installed on top of it so that it protrudes partially, and a tree 11 is passed through the protruding part. The scaffolding frame 1 is fixed by a fixed jack base, as with ordinary scaffolding. A return staircase is usually used as the stairs 2, and for example, it is three to four stories high with each floor being 1.7 m high. The stairs 2 are not limited to a return staircase, and can be other types of stairs, for example, a spiral staircase or a spiral staircase that surrounds the tree 11. In either case of stairs, a handrail 3 is installed along the stairs.

[0020] The observation stage 4 is formed to a size of, for example, 1.8 x 2.7 m or 3 x 3.6 m, its floor boards 8 are placed on a row of metal or wooden scaffolding boards, and a fall prevention enclosure 5 is installed around it. Transparent or semi-transparent glass plates are fitted into the enclosure 5 as necessary, and lighting equipment is also provided as appropriate. The floor boards 8 of the observation stage 4 are provided with through holes 9 to allow trees 11 to pass through.

[0021] The observation stage 4 is equipped with seating means and a footbath facility, and may also be equipped with an astronomical telescope 10. The seating means may be, for example, a fixed bench 6 arranged in an L-shape, but any other outdoor bench or chair may be used. In addition, a footbath tank 7 is provided on the floor board 8 as the footbath facility. The footbath tank 7 is preferably a wooden tub. Hot water is supplied to the footbath tank 7 using a small submersible pump, but other means may also be used. A heat source such as a heater is attached to the footbath tank 7.

[0022] The observation stage 4 in the illustrated example is rectangular, but in order to improve its appearance, the part that protrudes from the scaffolding frame 1 may be formed into a balcony-like shape that protrudes in a semicircular shape when viewed from above.

[0023] Next, a second embodiment shown in Figures 5 and 6 will be described. In the case of the second embodiment, the scaffolding frame 1 is assembled in a straddling shape, in other words, in a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the front, and is installed so as to straddle, for example, a dome-shaped tent 12. In this case, the stairs 2 are linear toward the observation stage 4 and are installed on one side of the scaffolding frame 1. The configuration of the observation stage 4 is not particularly different from that of the first embodiment. In the case of this second embodiment, a snow cover sheet 13 or a shading sheet can be hung from above the observation deck.

[0024] The example shown in Fig. 7 is a modification of the second embodiment, in which both side frames of the scaffolding frame 1 are formed into an arch shape that is nearly concentric with the tent 12 in order to improve the appearance. The other configurations are basically the same as those of the second embodiment, and it is also possible to hang a snow cover sheet 13 or a shading sheet from above the observation deck.

[0025] The observation deck for camping sites having the above configuration is mainly installed in glamping facilities and is used by facility users. Users can climb the stairs 2, sit on the bench 6 on the observation stage 4, relax with their feet in the foot bath 7, and enjoy the starry sky or the scenery, providing a sufficient healing effect. If an astronomical telescope 10 is installed, astronomical observation can be made even more interesting. Note that the use of this observation deck is not limited to one person at a time, and multiple people can go up to the observation stage 4 at the same time and enjoy it.

[0026] Furthermore, in the case of the second embodiment, the scaffolding frame 1 is installed so as to straddle the tent 12, so that it is possible to prevent snow from accumulating on the tent 12 during snowfall, and it is possible to protect the tent 12 from the weight of snow. Furthermore, by covering the observation deck with a snow protection sheet 13, this effect is further enhanced. Furthermore, in summer, by covering the tent 12 with a heat insulating sheet instead of the snow protection sheet 13, it is possible to prevent the inside of the tent 12 from becoming excessively hot.

[0027] The configuration of the observation deck according to the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-mentioned first or second embodiment and its modified examples, and various modifications and changes are possible. For example, the scaffolding frame 1 is sufficient as long as it can be used to install an observation stage 4 at the top where people can stand, and its configuration and material are arbitrary, and the type and arrangement of the stairs 2 leading to the observation stage 4 are also arbitrary. [Industrial Applicability]

[0028] The observation deck for installation at a campsite of the present invention is as described above. It has a simple configuration and can be easily installed at glamping facilities or general campsites. It allows facility users to relax by soaking their feet in a footbath and gazing at the stars or appreciating the scenery, thereby having the effect of providing a suitable healing space for facility users. It also has the effect of protecting tents from snow in winter and maintaining the temperature environment inside the tent in summer, and has great industrial applicability. [Explanation of symbols]
