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.

Windows

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.

Round Windows Bay Window Skylight

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.
