BRAND STORY
It’s a long story about RAXTENT brand.
In China, there is an ancient saying: "A man fears choosing the wrong career, a woman fears marrying the wrong man." Choosing the tent industry is crucial for RAX TENT.
How RAX TENT established and why we called "RAX"?
In China, people always say that a man reaches maturity at thirty. In 2013, Mr. Leo established RAX TENT when he turned 30. Starting from scratch, without any background, connections, or substantial funds in China, despite the challenging circumstances, he held firm beliefs. His goal was to bring high-quality products manufactured by Chinese enterprises to people worldwide, adding value to people globally. Thus, in difficult times, he firmly believed he could establish himself and achieve his dreams. He did it. Since its founding in 2013, RAX TENT has been dedicated to research, focusing on high-quality tent products and aiming to create continuous value for customers.
During the past 12 years, RAX TENT has relocated factory twice. In 2013, RAX TENT's production workshop was located in Lanhe Town, Nansha District, Guangzhou city, with an area of only about 1000 square meters, mainly produce marquee tents and pagoda tents. In 2015, Mr. Leo foresaw the new trend in the outdoor tent industry shifting towards geodesic dome tents for outdoor event and luxury camping. Since 2015, he has been at the forefront of developing dome tent products domestically in China, designing and exporting 6m in diameter geodesic dome tents, which have been well received and loved by customers.
In 2016, RAX TENT became the first tent manufacturer who can successfully produce and build the big 30m in diameter big dome tent for event for China's top real estate group——Vanke Group. In 2017, RAX TENT produced and built two sets of 50m diameter dome tents for the Corona Beer and Music Festival and the huge 80m in diameter dome tent for the Qinhuangdao Ice and Snow Festival. To this day, RAX TENT remains the only tent manufacturer in China and even globally capable of successfully producing and erecting an 80m diameter geodesic dome. Breaking conventions, full of creativity, and being accountable for results have always been the driving force behind RAX TENT's development and progress.
From 2013 to 2017, after several years of accumulation, Mr. Leo relocated RAXTENT to our previous factory in Foshan City to ensure more precise quality control and to increase production capacity to meet the demands of large-scale geodesic dome tent projects. This factory spans over 5,000 square meters and is equipped with 4 high-frequency welding machines, fully automated digital cutting machines, dual-head welding machines, dual-head cutting machines, and fully automated engraving machines, significantly enhancing production efficiency and accuracy while enforcing stricter quality control measures. Upholding product quality and enhancing production efficiency has been the principle for RAXTENT.
Since 2018, Mr. Leo has steered RAXTENT's towards designing and developing rigid and higher quality tent products. Safety and comfort have always been paramount considerations for outdoor tents. Therefore, starting from 2018, RAXTENT has been dedicated to manufacturing hard glass dome tent, aiming to enhance consumers' camping and living experiences. This initiative has driven new consumer habits in camping and resort products both domestically and internationally, thereby providing long-term value and returns for our clients. Indeed, through numerous actual cases of geodesic glass domes, we have demonstrated that these products are highly appreciated in the market.
In 2018, RAXTENT produced and installed glass domes for the Aicha Memories Luxury Glamping Site in the Jordanian desert, which attracted global tourists for camping experiences. By 2020, RAXTENT's first dome tent camping site at Clear Sky Resort in the United States had already gained widespread recognition. In 2023, the second luxury glamping site with all-wooden glass dome tents at Clear Sky Resort will open in August 2024. Many other projects have become benchmarks in the local camping market and are continuing to generate sustained revenue. Creating ongoing value for our clients and friends has always been the guiding principle at RAXTENT.
In April 2024, Mr. Leo led RAXTENT to relocate to our current new factory address, creating 1:1 scale domes and tents samples to present complete and authentic prototypes to customers, showcasing product quality and style comprehensively. RAXTENT has set up new sample exhibition spaces and product production workshops in Blocks 18 and 20 of Huake Park in Foshan city, further enhancing efficiency. RAXTENT's product lineup includes glass dome tents, wooden glass domes, honeycomb glass domes, pyramid glass house, prefab capsule houses, peaks tent houses, worm-shaped glamping tents, and more. RAXTENT is capable of faster and more precise design of new products, development of new materials, presenting our research outcomes to the tent and outdoor camping industries. Crafting each product well and serving every customer friend is our contribution to China's manufacturing industry, delivering higher-quality products and services from China to the world, enhancing global understanding of China. RAXTENT bridges products with culture, showcasing the symbiosis of China and the world's beauty.
After 12 years of development, RAXTENT is grateful to every customer and friend who supports our products and services, appreciating the opportunities for deeper understanding and communication. Like "Forrest Gump," we will never stop and focus on doing what we persist in, continuously running on the path of progress. In the future, we will continue to develop new, interesting, and practical products, hoping to move forward with you.
ABOUT RAX TENT
The tent industry in China started relatively late, only about 20 years ago, but it has grown rapidly. Chinese tent enterprises are primarily concentrated in coastal cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai in Guangdong, followed by Jiangsu, Shanghai, and other regions. Initially, tent products were mainly used for keeping out wind and rain as temporary modular buildings, widely applied in events, exhibitions, and real estate industries. In recent years, especially with the cross-industry collaboration between the tent industry and cultural tourism, tents are increasingly used for outdoor camping, themed accommodations, and integrated industrial developments, leading to the emergence of several powerful tent factories domestically. These companies have successively produced products like geodesic domes such as dome tents and glass domes.
Since its establishment in 2013, RAXTENT initially focused on marquee tents with aluminum frames covered in PVC fabric. However, due to the homogeneity in appearance and product structure among domestic products, lacking differentiation, we began researching new tent.
In 2014, RAXTENT shifted its primary market focus from domestic to international exports and launched its presence on Alibaba International, starting to export tent products. Based on RAXTENT's anticipation and analysis of market demand, from late 2014 to early 2015, we transitioned our main products to geodesic tents. Domestically, we were among the first factories to develop dome tents. As the dome tent market became saturated, RAXTENT shifted its focus to the development of glass dome tents starting from 2017.
Leveraging our experience in developing and launching dome tent products, we concentrated on the export market. Since 2018, glass domes have ignited the global market, with many campground owners recognizing them as highly effective products.
Since 2019 and 2020, RAXTENT has continued to expand its research and development efforts, producing innovative domes such as honeycomb glass houses, pyramid glass houses, glass igloo, pumpkin shape tent houses, and shell tent houses. These distinctive designs have been deployed in both domestic and international markets, significantly enhancing recognition among many campgrounds.
In 2021, RAXTENT ventured into the application of new materials for glass domes, choosing durable solid wooden panels. We tested these panels for waterproofing, thermal insulation, fire resistance, and other properties. The application of these wooden panels on glass domes was well-received by our customers.
In 2022, RAXTENT focused on researching prefab capsule house products, designing five different capsule house models. The main feature of these capsule houses is that all soft furnishings and hardware configurations are completed during production. Customers can immediately deploy these houses in campground operations without any installation or waiting costs, making them highly popular in the current market.
In 2023, RAXTENT scaled up production of wooden-colored glass domes, collaborating with Clear Sky Resort in the United States for a second campground project. The resort will feature 60 wooden colored glass domes, with sizes ranging from 7.2m to 20m in diameter. These domes will serve as family resort dome, as well as cinema dome, dinning dome, kitchen dome, and reception hall dome. The resort is set to open in August this year, expected to ignite a residential camping trend in the local area.
In 2024, RAXTENT developed and exported worm-shaped glamping tents to India for a large-scale campground project. This involved experimenting with different frame assembly methods and using various thermal insulation materials. After three rounds of testing, then we proceeded with mass production. This project holds great promise and anticipation.
Since its establishment, RAXTENT's annual development milestones have been clearly visible. We maintain rigorous standards and demands for product quality and innovation, ensuring that every product creates value for our customers.

RAXTENT has a great foundation in its production team. Over the 12 years history, we have built a core production line team of 30 workers. This team includes seasoned veterans with extensive production experience, enthusiastic newcomers eager to contribute, and skilled mechanics adept at operating automated machinery. They have grown with the company and deeply understand our stringent quality requirements and standards. For instance, in the PVC canopy production workshop, team members collaborate closely when using high-frequency welding machines, strictly adhering to prescribed welding times to ensure the PVC canopies remain securely welded, thus guaranteeing high-quality PVC dome tents. Similarly, our welders for glass domes and glass doors possess over 20 years of aluminum welding experience, ensuring welds are both aesthetically pleasing and robust. Quality is revealed in the details.
Each member of RAXTENT's core production team has over a decade of industry experience and has been with the company for over 8 years, contributing to a stable production workforce that consistently delivers high-quality outputs.

Currently, we have 10 senior engineers capable of installing our entire product range, and they are available to assist clients internationally. For example, in 2016, our engineers traveled to Dubai to assist in the installation of a 20m geodesic dome tent. In 2019, engineers went to Wadi Rum Desert in Jordan to set up the geodesic glass dome tent in the camp. There have been numerous installation projects within China as well. The installation of geodesic domes is a crucial phase in showcasing the finished product, and our efficient and professional engineering team helps reduce project costs and ensure product longevity.
In addition to our strong professional skills, the culture within the RAXTENT team is vibrant and harmonious. Apart from excellent teamwork in our professional endeavors, our lives are also enriched with diverse activities. In 2018, our team collectively traveled to Lajia Island for a sea trip.

In 2023, we visited Sangzhou Island in Huizhou, and in the same year, we camped at our own Taoling Glamping site for times. We also organize basketball and badminton matches, celebrate birthdays together, and foster a cohesive and harmonious team culture. We share common goals, hobbies, and pursuits. A great team not only possesses professional expertise but also exudes vitality and a positive spirit. If you come to RAXTENT, I believe you will feel our team's enthusiasm, passion, and pursuit firsthand.
RAX TENT CLIENTS
RAXTENT has collaborated with thousands of clients since its inception, and behind each project lies a fascinating story. Below are just a few selected client stories.
Phoenix Dome is a dome company based in Canada. Our collaboration with Phoenix Dome began in 2019 and has spanned a full six years to date. Phoenix Dome has ordered over 600 dome products from us during this period. Initially, the domes were mainly focused on small PVC domes with a diameter of 6 meters, used for displays and family resort and living space. Over time, their orders expanded to include 9m, 10m, and 15m PVC geodesic domes primarily used for yoga. The founder of Phoenix Dome is passionate about yoga and also owns a yoga apparel business. Domes are ideal spaces for yoga, which has contributed to the high demand for yoga dome.
As RAXTENT has shifted its product focus gradually from soft dome tents to hard geodesic domes, Phoenix Dome has also shown increasing interest in RAXTENT’s mixed domes and glass domes in recent years. The diversification of RAXTENT products and our professional customization services form the foundation of our long-term cooperation with Phoenix Dome.
In addition to Phoenix Dome, we have many other partners in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere, expanding the reach of RAXTENT products to more users worldwide.
2, Aicha Memories Luxury Glamping Site in Jordan
Jordanian clients have been very representative for us in recent years. Initially, their campsite used PVC geodesic domes, but due to the typical lifespan of PVC fabric being 5-8 years, especially with the transparent PVC parts prone to aging and deterioration, and the cotton lining emitting a moldy odor after prolonged use in regions with large temperature variations. He felt very troubled and then he was very pleased upon first seeing our glass domes in 2018. The client shared with us popular tourist routes and attractions in Jordan, such as the red sands of Wadi Rum, the desert's starry skies, Wadi Rum Fortress, and the Dead Sea. When designing the glass dome hotels, we fully considered tourists' appreciation for desert night sky views, incorporating large transparent viewing areas in the glass domes. Our choice of paint colors and curtain materials also aligns well with the Middle Eastern characteristics, offering a unique journey for global travelers.
3, Clear Sky Resort campsite
In 2020, we collaborated for the first time with Clear Sky Resort, primarily supplying 6m and 7m PVC fabric geodesic dome tents. The first campsite was located in Arizona, USA, and upon completion, it generated significant local interest and received excellent reviews. Subsequently, in 2022, Clear Sky Resort initiated the second project with us in Bryce Canyon, Utah, where we installed 60 sets geodesic glass domes. The standout feature of these glass dome hotels is the use of the latest wooden-colored hardboard tailored specifically for the clients. Set against the backdrop of Bryce Canyon's grandeur, with its plateaus, red rock formations, and sand dunes, these wooden glass domes offer the best accommodation for outdoor adventurers and sightseers alike.
