Curry Village - Replace Double Wall Tents with Classic Heated Single Wall Tents

The purpose of this project is to eliminate the 91 double-wall canvas Signature tents and replace them with 91 single-wall canvas tents erected with rodent exclusion design features at the Boystown camp location in Curry Village. The project will retain the original camp area layout by rehabilitating the existing tent platforms. New tent frame/truss construction and single-wall canvas installation will be initiated from the existing rehabilitated platform. Foundation, heater wall, and door design for the new single wall canvas tents will integrate techniques to exclude rodent access. Specifications are described in the attached schematic drawings for elevated foundation upgrades, door framing and installation, and heater installation. Upgrades to the single wall canvas specification will include 18 ounce canvas walls (versus 10 ounce current specifications) for better insulation, with breathable ceiling canvas over wood framing for a 12 feet x 14 feet tent. Additionally, area grounds will meet exclusion requirements for vegetation as recommended by the California Department of Public Health and the park public health officer with clearance at 18" from elevated tent foundations.
