Packaging and Handling Details

We want to ensure that your dome is delivered to you in the best possible condition. Therefore, we carefully package each dome in 1-2 crates, with the dimensions and weight varying based on the size of the dome and any add-on options you have selected. Please keep in mind that a forklift is required to move the crate, but if you choose to open the crate, the items inside can be moved by two people. Here's an example to give you an idea of what to expect. 

We offer a variety of geodesic dome sizes, and below is a list of the different options available along with their corresponding details.

If you require a size larger than 66ft, please feel free to contact us at info@landscamper.com. We would be happy to assist you.

This dome is a versatile year-round shelter that is built to last. The cover is made from high-quality materials that are fire retardant, waterproof, mold-proof, and anti-UV, ensuring optimal protection from the elements. With a life span of 10 to 15 years, you can count on this dome to provide reliable shelter for years to come. The temperature range is between -40° to 158°F, making it suitable for use in a variety of climates and environments. Whether you're looking for a backyard greenhouse, a backyard guest house, or a wilderness shelter, this dome is the perfect choice. 

We offer engineering report and stamping services to help you obtain the necessary permits and approvals for your dome project.

How can I keep the dome cozy inside?

Adding insulation liner is always recommended for keeping the dome cozy inside. This helps to keep warm air inside the dome during colder months and prevent heat from escaping. Additionally, you can use spray foam to insulate the deck beneath the dome. On top of it, consider adding a stove or radiant floor for warmth in winter and an AC for cooling in summer.

Do I need a permit for the dome?

The requirements for permits to build a geodesic dome can vary based on your location and the intended use of the dome. It's best to check with your local building department to determine if a permit is required. If needed, we can provide an engineering report and stamping for a certain cost. Check the Weatherproof section of our website for more details.

What are some tips for taking care of my dome?

To maintain the appearance and prolong the life of your dome cover, it is important to clean it every six months and prevent dirt and stains from accumulating on the fabric. Inspect the dome regularly and clean both interior and exterior walls as needed. To clean the dome, use a garden hose with a spray nozzle attachment and/or a mild soap solution with a soft bristle brush or rag. Avoid using solvents, heavy brushes, wire pads, or high-pressure steam cleaners, as they can damage the dome's surface. After cleaning, rinse the dome thoroughly with water to remove any cleaning solutions. It is also recommended to regularly brush out the window pockets and the bottom of the dome to remove dirt and leaves.

If I purchase a stove from you, will there be an opening for it in the dome?

Yes, we can typically provide an opening for the stove in the dome. This ensures proper ventilation and prevents any safety hazards.

What are the options for electricity and water in the dome?

The options for electricity and water in the dome can vary based on your location and the intended use of the dome. You may be able to connect to municipal utilities or use solar panels and rainwater collection systems. It's best to consult a local professional for details and recommendations.

How does the windows and insulation work together?

All windows are pre-cut and will fit with the insulation liner properly. This ensures that there are no gaps or areas where heat can escape.

How can I prevent small animals and insects from getting into the dome?

Use the hold-down stripes to seal the cover to the ground, and use sealing gel to seal the dome sides to prevent insects from coming in.

How can I ensure that the dome is completely waterproof?

The dome cover, windows, skylight, and door are designed to be waterproof. One thing that you’ll need to consider is ensuring proper drainage around the dome. We have two ways to help prevent water from coming inside. First, we provide a hold-down strip that can be used to seal the cover that goes outwards. Second, when you build the deck, you can carve out a channel around the dome to create drainage.

What would be a suitable size for a loft inside the dome?

A dome size of 26ft or larger is recommended for adding a loft inside the dome. Check our website for a project in Polish that used 26ft domes and lofts.

What kind of foundation is needed for a geodesic dome?

Geodesic domes can be built on wood decks, grassland, or concrete slabs. We provide different fixing methods to match the intended ground surface used.

How is the dome fixed to the ground, deck, or concrete?

Geodesic domes can be anchored to the ground using Expandale bolt/screw, Steel peg/ground anchor, or load-bearing plates. The fixing method used depends on the ground surface intended for use. Additionally, expansion screws are primarily used for fastening to hard surfaces, particularly concrete surfaces. Ground stakes, on the other hand, are primarily used for soft and muddy surfaces, especially on grassy or muddy terrain. Load-bearing plates can be installed on any ground surface without causing damage, making them particularly suitable for situations where the ground cannot be disturbed.

How do geodesic domes hold up in extreme weather conditions?

Due to their unique shape and structural design, geodesic domes are able to withstand extreme weather conditions such as high winds, heavy snow loads, and earthquakes. Check the Weatherproof section of our website for more details.

Can geodesic domes be used for commercial purposes?

Yes, geodesic domes are versatile and can be used for a variety of commercial purposes such as event venues, greenhouses, and even as office spaces.

Are geodesic domes portable and easy to relocate?

Whilst the domes are designed to be fixed structures, they can be readily dismantled allowing you full flexibility to relocate elsewhere. This makes them ideal for those who want to move their dome from one location to another.

Are geodesic domes energy efficient?

Yes, due to their shape and design, geodesic domes are highly energy efficient. The compact shape helps to minimize surface area and reduce heat loss, while the use of insulation can further improve energy efficiency.

Can I build a geodesic dome myself, or do I need a professional builder?

Geodesic domes are straightforward to build and do not require specialist skills or tools. All you need is a firm, flat base. However, if you are not confident in your ability to build a dome on your own, it is recommended to hire a professional builder to ensure that the dome is constructed safely and efficiently.

How long does it take to assemble a geodesic dome?

The time it takes to assemble a geodesic dome can vary depending on the size of the dome and the expertise of the builders. On average, a 16ft dome can be assembled in 1-2 days, while a 26ft dome may take up to 4-5 days to assemble.
