The power of the world always works in circles.
The sky is round, and Ive heard the earth is round like a ball,
And so are all the stars.

Domes are natures own geometry and provide a unique environment for every
use. Since 1980, Pacic Domes has perfected the function and beauty of portable
Geodesic Domes. We combine the sacred geometry of R. Buckminster Fuller with
our progressively designed covers to bring you this futuristic structure.
Why Geodesic Domes?

All our covers are made of durable, water resistant and mildew resistant,ame retardant fabrics, which provide lasting shelter in all climates. From
tropical beaches to snowy mountains, from arid wind-swept deserts to
rainforests, our off-the-grid systems create comfort in every climate.
Sunlite: We recommend Sunlite for
humid climates. This vinyl coated,
smooth surfaced polyester fabric is
easy to clean. Sunlite weighs 16 oz
and has a life expectancy of 8-12
years.
Sunshield: Sunshield utilizes Sunlite
as its base fabric but has an extra UV
protection that extends the life expec-
tancy to 12-20 years.
Dome Covers
EcoWool: EcoWool is naturally
mold and mildew reistant as well as
re retardant. It is made with 100%
organic felted wool and comes in
natural white. Sewn to an outer shell
of durable polyester, this cover can
also be painted with Thermoshield.

Dome FramesPortability: Our frames
arrive in small bundles
for easy count and
handling. We provide
illustrations and instruc-tions for easy frame
assembly. Our staff can
provide on site training.
Powder Coating: We
offer the option to apply
an extra-protective coat-
ing to your steel frame.
There are many colorsto choose from to both
enhance the beauty and
durability of your frame.
Anchoring: Pacic
Domes will supply the
appropriate anchors to
secure the dome frame
to surfaces such asconcrete, earth, asphalt,
or a deck.
Sturdy Frames: Our geodesic frames are architecturally engineered with
galvanized steel tubing to be both durable and strong. Our rust resistant
frames can endure heavy snow loads, tropical rains, and hurricane winds up
to 100 mph. Dome frames that are intended for areas with extreme weather
conditions are customized by our engineering team to ensure our frames
remain of strong structural integrity.

Dome Floors
Interior Design
Portable Mandala:
The initial intricate
construction of the
mandala oor allows
for effort less assembly.
This method enables
assembly of the oor
and disassembly under
12 hours.
Stationary Joist: We
recommend a joist deck
for people that dont
expect to move their
domes. This method is
the quickest and easiest
method but does not
enable mobility.
Perimeter Board: For
domes with earthen
oors, we recommend
perimeter board. The
perimeter board will
anchor your dome and
keep the fabric off the
ground. It can also be
used as a mould to lay
tiles or pour concrete.
The open oor plan and high ceilings of the geodesic dome create a beautiful
space for interior design. Add internal construction to separate living spaces
or work with the existing shape to create an open interior. Second story struc-
tures and lofts can be added to any dome 20 or larger.
We provide various free deck plans to add a cozy feel to your dome home.
We offer three different deck plans: Portable Mandala, Stationary Joist, and
Perimeter Board. An energy efcient radiant heating and cooling system can
be installed in the oor.

Doors
Round Windows:
Our removable round
windows are made with
clear marine vinyl and
are extremely durable.
They are included with
every dome, and inter-
changeable screens
can be purchased.
Bay Window: Each
dome is manufactured
with an elegant and
extremely durable bay
window. The large
window is made with
marine vinyl and sewn
into the dome skin, al-
lowing the interior of the
dome to be illuminated
with natural lighting.
Skylight: Our Optional
skylight, made of UV
resistant clear vinyl,
zips in, replacing the
roof of any size dome.
It allows a wealth of
additional light into the
dome, and is available
for purchase as an
extra or as an upgrade.
From the deserts of New Mexico to the high mountains of the Swiss Alps,
the elegant windows of the dome bring you closer to the surrounding nature.
Sun-lled by day and star-lit by night, the domes open design creates a
naturally luminous environment.

Diamond Door: Our convenient
fabric diamond door can be zipped
open or closed from inside or outside.
Prehung Door: Our prehung door
includes modication to the frame to
allow for a standard rectangular or
double door.

HeatingWith no hard corners, the domes natural structure allows for constant airow,
requiring 30% less energy to heat, cool and circulate air to maintain moderate
air temperatures. We provide several options to transform your dome into a
cozy refuge in the harshest winter climates.
Winter Liners:All of
our winter liners are
ame retardant and are
resistant to mold and
mildew. They are sewn
to match the window
layout of your domeand attached to the
struts to provide a sec-
ondary internal barrier
of fabric between you
and the outside world.
Thermoshield: In
colder climates, heat
can be reected back
into the dome with a
Thermoshield coating,
cutting utility use by 33
percent. Thermoshieldis a non-toxic elasto-
meric paint containing
ceramic micro-spheres
that gets up to equiva-
lent 22 R-value.
Wood Stove: Our
domes are built to ac-
commodate an optional
stove vent ashing and
cap for wood stove
installation. Most upper
round windows canbe used for stove vent
placement. Comfort-
able temperatures can
be maintained inside
the dome while snow
storms urry outside.

Solar Fan
Solar Fan: Powered by
the sun, our technically
advanced Solar Fan is
is an environmentally-
friendly ventilation
solution that will control
humidity and tempera-
ture. It installs in under
30 minutes.
Screens: Each window
can be equipped with
a window screen to
circulate air. In addition,
base screens roll up
from the base of the
dome to allow for cross
ventilation, while pro-
viding dazzling views of
the outdoor scenery.
Each dome is designed for maximum ventilation, letting the cool breeze ow
through the shade of the dome. The removable roof option is designed to be
opened partially or completely from the inside.
Thermoshield Paint:
In warmer climates,
coating the outside of
the dome reects over
90% of UV rays off the
cover, keeping it cooler
inside. Thermoshield
also protects the fabric
from UV, extending the
life of your cover.
