For Fire Departments, NFPA Fire Regulations are crucial. Presenting Fire testing documentations is
critical. Therefore, we shall share with Owners of the Gardenigloo previous testing of the Gardenigloo.
(see attached documents)
We as Gardenigloo USA LLC are always willing to cooperate with any Fire Department/Local Council
to ease concerns regarding the Gardenigloo and its Fire Retardancy to the best of our ability.
NFPA 701 Regulated Fire testing
The Fire Testing conducted at SGS NY Laboratories has concluded that the Gardenigloo’s material
has passed NFPA 701 Test Method 2 (related to flammability, result: non-flammable) and ASTM 84.
(related to fire-spread, result: CLASS A or CLASS I rating.) **
For Building Councils, each State has their own restrictions and classifications. Be wary of the clas-
sification of the Gardenigloo and compare it to the regulations in your local area. What is important
to know is that Building Councils/Regulators will only approach you if they presume your utilization
of the Gardenigloo is a threat to public safety.
Height, material, purpose, and fire-exit positioning are key points to be aware of-although very rarely
problematic and enforced.
Material and Classification
The Material of the Gardenigloo is PVC and is classified as a "Tent". The PVC is used for the transparent
cover of the PVC-plastic frames forming together to form a geodesic dome. The geodesic dome is
used as a gazebo, conservatory, dining tent and greenhouse.
Related dimension/height/area information is included on the spec-sheet* of the Gardenigloo website,
outside of detailed engineering/design information. **
