Hand grips: Rubber strips are fixed to the corners for a good grip and in order to mark where to load the construction.



Suspension system: The core module is suspended from an eye bolt fixed to the construction. Two kinds of knots are used: bowline knots at the snap hooks and figure of eight-knots at the points of suspension and elsewhere.



Hoist: The hoist can be used for transporting things to the core module.


Sleeping Module
The sleeping module is made of two different textiles. The upper part, which functions as a cover, is waterproof, and the lower part enables the body to breathe. The sleeping module works both with and without a cover. By pulling a line, the textile is lifted to make a roof-like cover. The sleeping module is entered via the core module, to which it is fixed with a rope.




Sleeping Module: Rubber cups are fixed to each end to prevent rain water from seeping in.


Water Supply Module
Rain water is collected by the triangular sail and runs through hoses to the two water tanks. They function as reservoirs for cold and heated water for the bath and the kitchen. The water tanks are hanging from wheels, so that they can easily be moved to the desired position. The black tank provides hot water by solar heating. The water supply module should be placed higher than the core module for water pressure.




Water collector and water tanks.




Garden module: The two tank halves can be used for growing plants inside.


Maintenance:
Suspended platform is made from very durable materials. However some maintenance is required for safety reasons. The ropes should be changed after 5 years of use or if there is any kind of local damage. The same goes for snaphooks and tackles. The sleeping modules are made from acrylic textiles, to improve UV resistance. But eventually the textiles will deteriorate and should be renewed.
