Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our geodesic domes, ordering, installation, and more.
A geodesic dome is a spherical structure composed of a network of triangles that distribute stress evenly across the structure. This design creates an incredibly strong, energy-efficient building that can withstand extreme weather conditions.
We offer domes ranging from 16ft to 36ft in diameter. Small domes (16-20ft) are perfect for backyard retreats, medium domes (20-26ft) work well for guest houses, and large/commercial domes (26-36ft) are ideal for primary residences or business applications.
