Our latest improvements to the
Growing Dome Greenhouse Kit

We are constantly uplevelling our product, and have recently implemented several upgrades to increase the longevity and effectiveness of your Growing Dome. Some are free, others come with an upgrade fee. Please determine which of these options would like to have when you order your kit.

Multi-Wall Polycarbonate Upgrade
5-wall glazing to replace 3-wall/Triple wall glazing
We are pleased to announce the new polycarbonate has an improved insulation value from R 2.5 to R 3.03. The light transmission decreases from 72% to 62%, but this has not been a problem. There is no extra charge for this upgrade

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 is not in contact with the soil.

We have also noticed that more and more building departments are making this a definite requirement. This lumber is also termite resistant. We would like to notify all our customers that we are making the pressure treated bottom plate a standard addition to all our domes at no extra cost.

For those who do not want this addition there is a more expensive alternative in the form of redwood bottom plate and we will be happy to discuss this option.

Upgrade Prices:

Redwood
Cost:12’ 15’ 18’ 22’ 26’ 33’ 42’&51'
$60 $80 $80 $100 120 160 TBD


HardiPanel™ Siding
Fiber Cement Siding is now standard!
At no extra cost you we are now using fiber cement siding which replaces the
T1-11 siding we have used in the past. This product will last significantly longer.

Metal Glazing Trim Kits
This improvement is for new domes & ones in need of maintainance. The aircraft tape has seved us well over the years, with a life of 5 to 10 years, but custom designed aluminum strips over a sealing tape will last even longer. Enquire for upgrade price for new domes and maintenance kits.

Solar Fans
For the 26ft dome and solar fan upgrades, we are supplying a new type of solar powered cooling fan. The fan is a little smaller, but it is much more energy efficient and produces the same airflow as our previous fans. It has many more blades and even works in cloudy conditions. There is no extra charge for this new fan above and beyond the upgrade or extra option price.
