After looking at homes for a few weeks, doing a pre-qualification through a mortgage lender and seeing how nearly impossible it will be for me to afford a decent home on my own, I am now seriously considering purchasing some rural land near my city and living in one of these. Way more affordable than a traditional home. Looks very sci-fi and I love that!

[@PacificDomesInc]

Absolutely! Many of our clients have even raised families in domes out in rural parts of the country, it's a very sustainable and affordable practice for alternative housing and life!

[@claudiadeuchars4814]

We are looking for the same, the house price in Scotland is so so high and we really don't want long time mortgages us we already over 40s, we diced to by a land in Portugal and get some affordable accommodation, Good luck for you 😊

Bonjour j'ai un grand terrain a 400 metres d'altitude en Republique Dominicaine et je recherche un fabricant de domes qui pourrait m'aider pour un projet de location. Merci pour votre réponse. Marc

[@Itried20takennames]

Wow….nice product. Seems like would be a great item for a B and B rental, or a “Granny” house in the backyard, or a “cabin” home if you had some remote land. I also wonder if the “skylight” version could be a greenhouse for plants?

[@PacificDomesInc]

Yes! Our domes are extremely versatile and can really be used as any type of structure!

[@RajGiandeep]

Such a cool living structure. I was able to be in a 36' dome recently & has such a peaceful presence to it. Have you had anyone put in glass windows in place of the viewing window before?

Not that we know of, but for stick built domes we have seen glass windows for sure!

[@bluebutterfly3039]

If you were to build a deck larger than the area of the dome, what would you recommend to seal the bottom?

[@PacificDomesInc]

The Domes should be built on top of our provided Deck Plans. Those Deck Plans mirror the exact perimeter of the Dome so any rain/snow falls off to the side. However, for any decks to be built exceeding the perimeter of the Dome or Domes to be built on a pre-existing Deck, we offer a Perimeter Plan. The Perimeter Plan elevates your Dome enough for the cover to be tacked on to the side decking to shield from rain/snow. The larger deck beneath it should be slotted to allow rain/snow to fall through.

So I'm seriously considering buying a dome home kit from you guys. Do you guys have any testimonies from people in Florida? I won't be that close to the water as I'm thinking about buying land up north more inland but will it be able to handle the humidity and some of the winds?

[@PacificDomesInc]

We would love to fulfill that dream of yours! You can reach us at [e-mail]. Our friends at Chozen Retreats could tell you all about it! www.chozenretreat.com/

[@jayjay8335]

What level of security do you have as far as cutting through the cover?

[@PacificDomesInc]

That's a great a question! Just like a rock that could break through a window, covers can be cut. Outfitting your dome with a smart security system, just like you would a standard home, is always a good idea if you find it necessary!

[@SuzanneWho]

Re vinyl bay window. How does this stand up to rain and/or direct sun? Thanks

[@PacificDomesInc]

Totally fine in the rain! Direct sun over a long period of time can compromise a little. We offer a five year prorated warranty on all our fabrics. We also make the window so it's able to be zipped out if replacement is needed.

[@ameliawong6011]

How’s the dome in tropical weather❓ we have lots of rain and typhoons 🌀 Generally humid and muggy. Also can it hold an air conditioner ❓ Thanks

[@PacificDomesInc]

The domes shape is very strong. The tent portion of the dome would have to be extremely secured for the wind not to grab ahold of it and turn it into a sail. People use dehumidifiers to reduce condensation in humid areas, and yes, you can put in an HVAC system. Just remember you are trying to air condition a tent, so this is not ecological or economical.

[@robpanel]

can they be somehow sprayed or poured over with concrete to make a permanent structure? i thought of having a 32 foot dome with a 10 foot roof 2 bedroom for myself on a city lot which don't cost an arm and a leg around here. the utilities are at the street and most of these vacant lots are flat graded already. its dream anyway.

[@PacificDomesInc]

People talk about it all the time, Geoship.com is working on a prototype. We have seen our frame covered in straw bales and mud, that was cool to see!

[@FranchiseCityOnline]

Nothing is permanent 🙂

[@steve123261]

Will it sweat in the winter? I see condensation dripping all over . Other than that I want one

[@PacificDomesInc]

Condensation can occur depending on what type of heating element you choose. With our Stove Set Up Kit offered within our Deluxe Dome Package, you will able to equip your Dome with any stove you'd like, from a pellet, wood, masonry, and even gas. The most efficient stove to use to keep from condensation would be a wood stove, for it provides the driest heat! You can always reach us a [e-mail] for more info! :)

[@oyryboros782]

can you climb on the roof

[@lammy9733]

Can they withstand the harsh Temps of Arizona deserts would I be able to cool it and do you have a solution for monsoons that may put a few inches of water on the ground?

[@bobosun9741]

From what I have gathered you can use Thermoshield paint on the outside to reflect UV rays and many people use a mini split inside for cooling - though I wonder myself about costs as I am in Florida so same issue as in Arizona - it's bloody hot! As for water on the ground, the dome has to be built on top of a deck - so you could always elevate it as much as you need to for your environment.

[@bobosun9741]

in another comment Pacific Domes themselves replied "you can put in an HVAC system. Just remember you are trying to air condition a tent, so this is not ecological or economical."

[@theTommyWaters_]

Are these viable for permanent living in the state of Washington? Assuming of course that electric, water and sewage all need to be installed and hooked up.

How would these domes hold up under hurricane conditions? As well as in tropical climates?

[@squirtlevscharmander1617]

Same question here! Would love an answer!

[@Amille06]

I have heard they hold up better than any other structures.

[@petra3049]

I would love to hear how they hold up in hurricanes as well.

[@PacificDomesInc]

The geodesic shape is incredibly strong, even stronger than a rectangular or square structure. We have heard of our domes being the last structure standing in Honduras. That said it is a tent. if the wind gets ahold of a flap or gets inside the dome it will act as a giant sail. So it depends on the severity of the wind and how secured the doors and windows are.

[@JamesWoodson071]

It's not the wind you have to worry about, it's what's being BLOWN in the wind. This is nothing but a glorified tent. A 2x4 travelling 90mph will cut through it like a hot knife to butter.

[@braundwinn653]

How are they with hail? It’s rare, but we had hail where I live 7 years ago that ruined several roofs.

[@PacificDomesInc]

Due to the natural structure of the geodesic dome, hail will bounce/slide off to the side. In rare instances, with extremely heavy and large hail, there could be a potential of damage.

[@ragnhildmirach999]

What about if the cover is vandalized, a cut made with a knife for instance, how can you repair/replace that part?

[@PacificDomesInc]

If the damage is minor, we offer repair kits. We also sell replacement covers.

[@PacificDomesInc]

Of course! Knowing your structures will be sound is very important. Our Domes are known for their excellent structural stability and can be highly resistant to extreme weather conditions like hurricanes. Their aerodynamic shape allows wind to flow around them, reducing the risk of damage. Many communities in storm-prone areas have successfully used dome structures for various purposes. And our experienced engineers, can help to ensure that the dome is appropriately designed to withstand the specific challenges posed by the Philippines' weather patterns. Best of luck, and feel free to reach out to our representatives if you have any more questions or need further advice.
