Tetra Glass dome in the snow

Engineered for Your Site

01

Wind

The geodesic shape distributes wind loads across the whole frame instead of fighting them. Wind loads are addressed in the engineering for your site, with stamped documentation for your jurisdiction.
02

Snow

Dome geometry sheds snow naturally, and the pre-welded aluminum frame is engineered for the snow loads at your site — with stamped snow-load documentation for your jurisdiction.
03

Seismic

A light frame with even weight distribution. Seismic requirements are addressed in the engineering for your site where your jurisdiction requires it.
04

Foundations

Most customers choose a pier foundation with a raised deck; a concrete slab is also an option. Foundation guidelines come with the kit.

Event domes: Permitting documentation and engineering are available in all 50 states. Anchoring and project documents depend on the engineering and the specific job. Ask on the rentals page, or plan the site with the outdoor event structure checklist.
