Accommodations
In addition to two full-equipped Airstream bars, Hive has a line of luxurious canvas glamping tents that can be fully-styled with beds and complete decor to enhance any event or weekend-long celebration. 
 

Some basic parameters for what Hive needs in order to work your event efficiently and safely.

  1. Hive is a modified mobile trailer that is towed into place. Depending on the size and layout of your venue, Hive can be set up either outside or inside. However, not all locations will have the capacity to accommodate Hive. A minimum of 32 feet in length, 8 feet in width, and 10 feet in height is required. Weight is not typically an issue.
    With the right accommodations, Hive can be self-sufficient in terms of generating water and electricity. A standard 120 volt outlet that can serve 20 amps or more is optimal. A standard garden hose spigot is all that we need for a water connection. While recommended, these hook ups are not required, and we can provide a generator if necessary.
    We also recommend no more than a 5% pitch in grade, so that we can safely tow and set up Hive at your venue.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about these specifications. We are flexible and will do what we can to make Hive work for your event
