Build your geodesic dome in 10 easy steps:
Obtain permitting ahead of building, if your local regulations require it *
Level the site / ground where you will be building the dome.
Build a level platform
Gather 2-3 of your favorite friends to put together the dome skeleton and secure to platform
Install door
Install insulation layer and PVC outer layer
Install solar fan, vent windows, any other accessories
Install flooring (We recommend laminate for durability, water resistance and insulating properties)
Design and install electrical system and outlets coming up from floor of dome (Do not try to cut the dome PVC layer to install outlets on the walls.)
Water seal PVC layer to platform at the bottom edges to block rain from getting into the dome
* Note the dome is essentially a temporary tent you’re standing up on your land. Depending on how you build it, you may be able to avoid needing a building permit.
