Too cool! It's way easier than I would have thought to set up. You guys rocked it!

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Thank you! I really was surprisingly easy and I still can't get over the quality! We are going to leave it up all year! I can't wait to experience every season from this bubble! :D

[@gondydude]

Hahaha I love the celebration at the end. There were some silly mistakes but yeah it really was so super simple to put together. Far more user error than anything. Who knew reading instructions helped haha.

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Haha yeah. Typical for most stubborn humans though. ;)

[@nowayout7484]

DOES ANYONE OR HAS ANYONE BROKE DOWN THE PRICING IN DIY TERMS WITH PVC PIPING ETC \ VELCRO AND PLASTIC LINER ? JUST WONDERING. P.S THIS BUILD IS GREAT MAYBE ADD VENTILATION THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARDS AND OUT THE SIDES OF THE STAND / BASE.. GREAT JOB

[@sproutsrevil6508]

Does the plastic lose its ‘wrinkles’ after a while? In hotter weather? My one hesitation about this dome ( against the more expensive one) is if it looks messy.

[@tammyfricker4917]

Hello, I have this dome in the 9.5 ft size and have misplaced my instructions. Any chance you could share a pdf copy of yours? Or, any other recommendations? Thanks!

[@niacal4nia]

Does it turn yellow like all plastic materials?

[@kathleensheehy937]

How do you get it to fit all the way down? Our is short on one side an d it’s hard to center it?

[@matthewbrooks289]

Weve been thinking about getting one. Can you tell us the pros and cons to this. Also can you fit a mattress double in it. We live at a big lake and woods around us and we were thinking how to just sleep outside when the fireflies were out. What size platform did ya all build. And how cool to set up together thanks for video

[@vemulaganesh7454]

Can you give complete information about this product

[@kinalmutha3190]

What is the biggest strut length?

[@ZaynimeCreations]

Do you know what kind of plastic the cover is?

[@videotubewatcher]

Hello :-) Thank you so much for posting this! How wide is the patio base you have your igloo on?

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

104" x 104" although it was tight fit. I'd suggest making yours a bit bigger. :)

[@mihaibanita6326]

End price?

[@lcimedia]

Thinking of utilizing this as part of an event set-up, so we would be constantly setting it up and tearing it down. Do you think it's durable enough for that? Any other thoughts?

[@alisscordon9778]

Do you have the Manuel book instructions?

[@intaniswari4008]

where did you buy that??

[@JEK-yz7xb]

Please where can I buy this...I have been looking for it for a while

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Please visit them here: gardenigloousa.com/

[@SmartNellorians]

Hi Shelley I'm Sandeep from India In need the information From. where and which website you brought the complete kit please help me on this

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Hi Sandeep, please visit gardenigloo.com/ for more information.

[@b.e.garibay4130]

Hi, what sticks did u used for the circle? I got my dome with out instructions 😢bummer

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Oh man, can you look online for the manual? The one that came with this was quite detailed...

[@JohnGuest45]

The fumes from the pvc cover aren`t good for your health. I wouldnt recommend spending too much time inside especially in sunny, hot weather.

[@Mangaboy69]

@John Foley il pick one up for my misses

[@harryarteza3435]

This build put me right off getting one. Because I'm a lazy bastard.

[@mohamedirshad.10]

Hi, Is it safe to use this when it’s raining 🌧 with lightning ⚡️?

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Yes! However, if you expect lightning, I would suggest going indoors.

[@regeta2003]

This is cool! And nice job of installation! I wonder how it reacs in wind and also rain and specially much snow? Does it tilt or deform If i use the right word! :)) Danke Thanks Grazie Tack!

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Thank you! It is super sturdy and is still standing after several seasons. We're just outside of Chicago and get rough winters and storms. You just want to remove the cover so branches don't tear it. Otherwise, the skeleton is REALLY strong.

[@regeta2003]

Wow, sounds great :) I live in Stockholm but I have been there in Chicago once 2014 actually! Nice city! Enjoy Shelley! :) Very small world!

[@maryclemens9214]

@@ShelleyVanWitzenburg --what brand is the tent you have? It looks GREAT!!!

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

It's called "Garden Igloo." 😊

[@Anders8314]

@@regeta2003 thanks very much for the laugh 😀 Since when does someone in Stockholm have to worry about the winter? You don't even have winter.

[@vemulaganesh7454]

Where I'm buy. Where it is available

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Please visit their website to find that information: gardenigloousa.com/

[@knicholson6003]

How is it anchored?

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

It comes with clamps that can be screwed down into the base. It also came with bags that can be filled with sand-we didn't end up using those.

[@dianek5118]

51 min's my eye! i know it took at least 5 hours!!

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

It's the truth! The instructions are super easy to follow!

[@luciedurocher3164]

my thoughts exactly just with the movement of the light during the video you can tell that it took more that an hour to setup.

[@havardskjeldebrekke1964]

I really need the measure of the platform!!! How long, how wide😐 The igloo is 10 square meters??

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Hello, our platform didn't leave much room outside of the igloo, so you may want yours a little larger. Ours was 104 inches x 104"

[@youssefaboumejd4334]

Hello i want to Ask you something ??

[@JohnVanHare]

How many years did this last?

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

We had it up for 2 years in the Chicago suburbs, but then moved out of state. The skeleton feels indestructible, but the plastic cover should definitely not be left out all season long because it gets really dirty and could be punctured by branches.

[@kiranpothan14]

Bravo

[@jackstarnes6802]

I would be concerned if a wind storm came about.

[@superkittyshow1782]

Its great.. but almost 1 thousand euros? really?

[@notsureiL]

Yes :(

[@mihaia291]

How is your Garden Igloo after 6 years?

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Unfortunately, in storage! I moved to an apartment so no longer have a yard for it. :(

[@angelawambo3074]

wouldn't tree limbs puncture this pretty easy?

[@sweeptight]

It's definitely possible. We put it in a very wooded area (obviously) but there aren't any limbs in direct contact with it. I think as long as you don't put it somewhere where it's touching trees, it's fine. :)

[@angelawambo3074]

thank you. just thought in a storm or windy day as branches break off and fall, which happens quite often, (we just had branches go through a metal roof yikes! )Houghton it probably wouldn't be good idea to put in our wooded area. hate to lose $800+ great video though on setting it up. thank you

[@cranberriesdoodle1450]

$1500 for that?

[@xxmickeymoorexx]

how hot does it get in there?

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

Hi Mickey, If you keep the windows closed, it gets pretty toasty. But with the placement of the two windows, it's designed to keep great airflow... and it does. :) You can read my full blog post for more: sweeptight.com/2016/06/garden-igloo-enjoy-outside-bubble.html

[@xxmickeymoorexx]

I actually read your post after I commented. Looks pretty nice. It is on my list .

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

+Mickey Moore oh nice! Thanks for watching and reading! Let me know if you get one! 😁

And that kids is how I met your mother

[@maleficco]

bruh from the thumbnail I thought they were monkeys

[@John-ev3rm]

$800 and all flimsy plastic has to be world record rip off.

[@ShelleyVanWitzenburg]

I understand your opinion, however, it's far from flimsy. You're paying for the design, which is extremely strong.

[@JohnGuest45]

@@ShelleyVanWitzenburg My daughter hired one for a day and i having seen one in the flesh i have to say its not worth the money. The frame is stable but its not what i`d call rigid or strong because it has too much flex in it. Here`s an identical size dome i built recently that is rock solid with zero flex. It cost me £70/ $98us in materials, 2 days to fabricate the parts and about 3 hours to put together on my own. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oImboGOua8h8hck
