New Wall Plate Options
We have recently made a change to our lumber kit policy. Due to our recent experience with moving domes to new locations, we have noticed the pressure treated lumber bottom plates last significantly longer than those without. The reason we have not always used them is because of our customer’s concerns about chemically treated wood. However, the treated lumber is covered with sheet metal on the inside, and on the other side with the fiber cement siding. The dome then sits on washed gravel which drains the moisture away, and the treated portion does not come in contact with the soil.

More and more building departments are making the pressure treated plate a requirement. This lumber is also termite resistant. The pressure treated bottom plate is now a standard addition to all Dome sizes at no extra cost.

The alternative to the pressure treated bottom plate is a redwood bottom plate, this comes with an upgrade fee.

Metal Glazing Trim Strips
These custom designed aluminum strips go on the outside of the Growing Dome covering the joint sealing tape which extends the life of the tape. Enquire for upgrade prices for new domes and maintenance kits for existing domes.

Solar Fans
For the 26 foot Dome and solar fan upgrades, we now supply a more energy efficient fan that produces the same airflow as our previous fans. It has many more blades and even works in cloudy conditions.
