Family campgrounds offer a rustic outdoor experience with multiple campsites and amenities. The special experience of a campground often
creates unique needs when it comes to metal fabrications. If you're a campground owner, take advantage of professional welding services to
improve and upgrade your campground with new equipment features.
Check out some projects you can have created for use in the campground. Each one is designed to help with the everyday operations of your
campground.
1. Campfire Rings
When campers stay at a campsite, one of the signature features is a fire pit. Contain and control fire sizes with the fabrication of a campfire ring. A
steel ring provides durability during intense heat and will easily hold logs and branches. You can choose custom specifications to fit your needs.
The size of the ring can vary and is completely up to you.
For example, you may consider a taller campfire ring so you can place it a few inches into the ground. Anchoring the ring in some dirt will prevent
campground guests from easily moving the ring around. You can order campfire rings for every campsite.
Consider an add-on for each ring like a griddle top. If guests want to cook over an open flame, then a griddle top provides an easy way to place
meats and vegetables right on the fire. A welder can design a griddle top that hooks right into the outside rim of the campfire ring. Laser cutting
technology will produce precise measurements.
2. Wood Storage Racks
One of the services provided by many campgrounds is the sale of campfire wood. The wood is often essential to get a good fire going at a
campsite. Easily organize the wood you sell with a custom wood storage rack. A metal storage rack has extra durability, especially when kept
outside.
A rack can have deep shelves to hold wood and organize it. If your wood bundles are all the same size, then you can have a uniform rack with
equal-sized shelves. If you sell different-sized wood bundles, then you can have a shelf crafted to fit the different sizes. The rack could allow you
to easily rotate new wood bundles in and out.
When it rains, the rack offers extra protection and a slight overhang could prevent extra moisture from getting on the wood. For security
purposes, you could add a swinging metal door to the storage rack. A door allows you to lock up the firewood at night and help thwart any theft
attempts on the wood. Welders can add lock holes ideal for padlocks.
3. Custom Trash & Recycling Bins
Even during a rustic camping trip, it's important to be environmentally conscious. If you don't want guests littering or throwing recycling into the
trash, custom welding can provide a lot of different creations for the campground.
One project to consider is hanging trash bag holders. Attach a custom metal frame to a tree that a basic garbage bag easily attaches to. Guests
can attach the bag and have a place to put garbage right near their campsites. The tall location prevents animal access. Trash is not just left on the
ground and guests are encouraged to keep trash organized.
You may also have custom bins around the campground ideal for recycling and compost. A closed-lid compost bin is ideal for any food waste
that guests have. Food waste that just lies around could attract pests and animals like bears, raccoons, and skunks. A secure compost bin
provides extra protection.
Once the bins are completed, paint the outside for easy identification. Large stickers and labels will also help decipher specific bins.
