Harmony Domes FAQ

A geodesic dome is an engineered, weatherproof structure you can live in or rent year-round. Harmony domes ship as a finished or finish-ready home, with an architectural PVC cover on a galvanized, powder-coated steel frame, built to last 15 to 20 years.

Core is the structure itself, ready for you to finish. Comfort adds foil insulation, a finished canvas liner and curtains for a warm, move-in-ready interior. Signature steps up to glass doors and windows, solid wall panels and blackout curtains for a finished, year-round home.

Yes. With insulation and the Comfort or Signature package, the dome holds heat through winter and stays comfortable in summer, and it takes a standard heater or AC unit like any small room. The shape sheds snow and stands up to strong wind when anchored.

Engineered up to 250 mph winds and 100 psf snow load, with a 15 to 20 year lifespan. If your county code calls for higher ratings, a heavier frame is available and we build to that spec.

From the Dome 5 at about 200 sq ft up to the Dome 10 at about 800 sq ft, suited to anything from a cozy two-person stay to a spacious rental for a group.

A high-grade Belgian architectural PVC membrane on a hot-dip galvanized, powder-coated steel frame. The cover is waterproof, UV-stable and fire-rated, with a 15 to 20 year life, and the frame is protected against rust and corrosion. It is built to outlast the lighter covers budget domes rely on.

Very little upkeep. Wash the cover about twice a year with a soft brush, mild soap and water, then rinse. Skip solvents, abrasive pads and high-pressure steam. With normal care the membrane lasts 15 to 20 years, and it is replaceable to extend the structure beyond that.

Yes. Interiors divide into separate spaces, and domes connect to one another by tunnels to build larger, multi-room layouts. It is a common way to grow a single stay into a full resort.

All colors share the same thickness, coating and rating. Color mainly affects heat: lighter tones reflect sun and keep a sun-exposed site cooler, while darker tones hold more warmth. We help you pick for your climate.
