Our clients say
“I started with two domes to test the waters on a small glamping concept, and now I’m planning phase two. The domes hold up in wind and heat, and guests absolutely love them. The mix of comfort and open sky is what people pay for, and these domes deliver. We’ve had zero maintenance issues and nothing but compliments. Huge thanks to The Dome House crew for getting us off the ground—literally and figuratively.”
Bryan T., Moab, UT
For a Small Glamping Site Launch
“I purchased a 24′ hybrid dome from The Dome House for a short-term rental on my property, and it’s been an absolute hit with guests. Everyone comments on how beautiful and unique the structure is. I added some insulation panels and a mini-split system, and it’s comfortable year-round. The views through the glass are incredible, and it photographs so well that bookings basically sell themselves. It’s already paying for itself in just a few months!”
Tiffany R., Asheville, NC
For an Airbnb Rental Buyer
“We ordered five domes for our jungle eco-stay, and the difference compared to PVC domes is night and day. The Dome House kits are actual buildings—not tents. The glass gives guests that luxury feel, and we customized each one with mirrored panels for privacy in the trees. They’re holding up great in the humidity, and we’ve had zero complaints from guests—just Instagram tags and five-star reviews. Couldn’t be happier.”
Carlos M., Tulum, Mexico
For an Eco Resort Owner
“After years of dreaming about a tiny home, we finally pulled the trigger on a 30′ dome from The Dome House. We went with the hybrid model so we could have views and privacy where we wanted them. It’s cozy in the winter with the insulation panels and wood stove, and ridiculously bright and beautiful in the mornings. Every time someone visits, they say, ‘I had no idea a dome could feel like this!’ We love it.”
Sarah & Devon P., Boise, ID
For a Full-Time Dome Home
“I was looking for something durable, eye-catching, and easy to set up for a mountaintop rental I run during ski season. The team at The Dome House helped me customize a 20′ all-glass dome with a curtain system and vent windows, and it’s been a total game changer. The guests rave about the view of the northern lights. No issues with snow load, and setup was quicker than I expected. Solid build, great support.”
James W., Whitefish, MT
For a Backcountry Rental
“I bought a 16′ dome for my art studio, and I couldn’t be more in love with the space. The natural light, the structure, the way it blends with the landscape—it’s inspiring every time I walk in. I added a few mirrored panels and insulated the floor, and it stays cool even in summer. The Dome House team helped me figure out every little detail. Best investment I’ve made for my work and peace of mind.”

FAQs
What is the Tetra All Glass Dome?
The Tetra All Glass Dome is our fully transparent dome structure, made entirely from double-pane tempered glass panels mounted on a structural aluminum frame. It’s designed for those who want unobstructed views, natural light, and that high-end architectural aesthetic.
How is this different from your hybrid domes?
Unlike our Tetra Hybrid Domes, which include some solid aluminum insulated panel layouts combined with glass, the All Glass version uses 100% glass panels from base to crown. It’s made for locations and clients where the view matters more than privacy or maximum insulation (though you can have full privacy with mirror glass too).
Can I choose tinted or mirrored glass?
Yes. At The Dome House, we offer multiple glass tint options—including multiple shades of mirrored, bronze, dark, and of course, clear. Tinted or reflective glass adds daytime privacy and helps manage sunlight, glare, and heat.
Is the dome fully see-through at night?
If you’ve got lights on inside and no tint or curtains, yes—it’ll be visible. But we offer wrap-around curtain systems and privacy tint options so you can control visibility when the sun goes down. You get the openness and the option to shut it out when needed.
Are these domes weather-resistant?
Yes. The Tetra All Glass Dome is built with the same aluminum strut system and weather-sealed, tempered glass we use in our other models. Wind and snow loads are addressed in the engineering for your site, with stamped documentation available for permitting.
What sizes are available?
Five standard sizes from 16 ft to 30 ft in diameter, with custom sizes on request. Popular options for scenic retreats or sky-view stays are 20 ft, 23 ft, and 30 ft—depending on whether you’re building a personal retreat or a high-end short-term rental.
Is this dome insulated?
Glass naturally has less insulation than solid panels, but we use double-pane tempered glass to help regulate interior temperature. In colder climates, many customers add floor insulation, curtains, and heating systems to maintain comfort.
Can I use this dome for a short-term rental or eco-stay?
Yes. These domes are popular with eco resorts, Airbnb hosts, and luxury glamping operations looking to stand out with a high-end experience. Guests love the 360° views, the natural light, and the feeling of sleeping under the stars (without bugs or condensation).
Is there any way to control temperature inside?
Yes—especially if you plan for it. We offer options like ventilation windows, exhaust fan cutouts, and HVAC prep. Many customers also use mini split systems, solar-powered fans, or floor-mounted radiant heat to stay comfortable year-round.
What kind of foundation is required?
Most Tetra All Glass Dome buyers choose a pier foundation with a wood deck. It’s clean, slightly elevated, and ideal for resort or rental settings. A concrete slab is also an option depending on your site and permitting.
Can the glass be cleaned easily?
Yes. The dome’s slope helps rain rinse off most debris. For spot cleaning, a telescoping window washer or hiring a local glass crew a couple times a year keeps everything crystal clear. We use treated tempered glass to resist staining and reduce streaks.
How long does it take to assemble?
Most customers have the dome shell up in 3–5 days with a crew. Every piece is labeled and pre-cut for precision. The all-glass version might take a bit more care during install, but it follows the same assembly process as our other dome kits.
Can I add electricity or plumbing?
Definitely. Inside the dome, you can build out interior walls, flooring, and utilities just like a regular dwelling. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are all common upgrades for clients using the dome as a rental or full-time home.
How long does the dome last?
The Tetra All Glass Dome is a permanent architectural structure, not a tent: a corrosion-resistant aluminum frame and double-pane tempered glass, chosen for a long service life with proper setup and basic maintenance. Every kit ships with a warranty card and user guide.
Do you provide engineering for permits?
Yes. We offer stamped engineering documents to help with building permits and zoning requirements. That includes structural, wind, and snow load details to help you get approved—especially useful in strict jurisdictions.
