Why Pre Welded Tetrahedron Panels? The Ultimate Structural Shape

Tetrahedron shaped and pre welded triangle struts form the strongest geometric structure—a fact proven by both nature and engineering. The Tetra Dome Series leverages this principle, creating a self-supporting architectural marvel that provides unmatched stability, even in the harshest climates.

Compared to other dome styles, this design:

Maximizes structural integrity

while using minimal materials.

Eliminates weak points

by ensuring even weight distribution.

Withstands high winds, heavy snow loads, and seismic activity

with ease.

Crystal-Clear Glass & Insulated Panels—You Choose

Double-Paned Glass for Stunning, Panoramic Views

The Tetra Dome Series features high-clarity, double-paned tempered glass, creating a living space that merges seamlessly with nature. Unlike plastic-based domes, these panels offer superior insulation, UV protection, and long-lasting clarity—allowing you to enjoy stargazing, sunrise views, or breathtaking landscapes without distortion.

Insulated Panels for Extreme Weather Performance

For those in high-altitude or extreme weather regions, aluminum-insulated panels provide optimal climate control. These panels offer exceptional thermal efficiency, reducing energy costs while maintaining a comfortable interior temperature year-round.

FAQ’s

What makes the Tetra Hybrid Dome different from other dome kits?

The Tetra Hybrid Dome lets you combine tempered glass panels with wood-grade aluminum insulated panels, giving you the best of both worlds—panoramic views where you want them, and privacy or thermal control where you need it.

Can I choose where the glass and aluminum panels go?

Yes. At The Dome House, we build each Tetra Hybrid Dome to order. You can pick which parts of the dome stay fully transparent and which are solid. Want privacy in the back and views up front? Easy. Need more insulation on the north side? We can make that happen.

What materials are used in the Tetra Hybrid Dome?

The frame is made from aluminum structural struts, not PVC or wood. Panels are a mix of double-pane tempered glass and insulated aluminum composite. These aren’t tent materials—they’re built to last decades and look great doing it.

Is insulation included?

We offer rigid insulation panel upgrades for the aluminum sections, which most customers choose. These panels help regulate indoor temperature and make the dome comfortable for year-round use—even in colder climates.

What sizes does the Tetra Hybrid Dome come in?

Sizes typically range from 16 feet up to our max of 40 feet in diameter. Common picks include 20′, 24′, and 30’—especially for short-term rentals, backyard studios, or tiny homes. We’ll help you size it based on your intended use.

Is the dome weatherproof?

Yes. All panels are sealed into the frame using weather-rated gaskets and fasteners. Whether you’re facing snow, wind, or summer monsoons, the Tetra Hybrid Dome is built to handle it—with engineering documents available if needed for permitting.

Can I use this dome as a tiny home or Airbnb?

Absolutely. In fact, that’s one of the most popular uses for the Tetra Hybrid Dome. Many clients build them out with plumbing, electricity, and finishes for glamping stays, tiny homes, or eco resort units.

What kind of foundation does this dome require?

Most customers choose a pier foundation with a raised wood deck. It’s simple, clean, and works great for insulation and water runoff. Concrete slabs are also possible if preferred. We’ll include foundation guidelines and can provide stamped engineering docs on request.

How long does it take to build?

With a local crew or contractor, the dome shell typically goes up in 3–5 days. Interior finish-out varies depending on how detailed you go. All panels arrive pre-cut, numbered, and ready to install with our guide.

Can I add ventilation or HVAC?

Yes. We offer ventilation upgrades, including operable windows, exhaust fan cutouts, and HVAC prep options. Many customers also install mini splits, solar-powered fans, or wood stoves depending on their climate and power setup.

What colors or finishes can I choose for the solid panels?

The wood-grade aluminum panels come in a range of finish options—wood tones, matte black, or neutral hues. If you’re looking to match the environment or brand your dome for a resort, we can work with you on color selection.

How is the Tetra Hybrid Dome shipped?

The entire kit ships flat-packed on a pallet or crate and includes all necessary framing components, panels, and fasteners. You’ll also receive a detailed instruction guide. Shipping costs vary by location and dome size.
