A dome greenhouse is a popular and innovative style of greenhouse design. Based on the principles of a geodesic dome, these structures are based on the pattern of recurring triangles. Depending on the company they could be made from a rip-stop specialty fabric tightened by the insertion of flexible poles, or a polycarbonate glazed covering over a wooden structure.
A dome greenhouse might be as simple as a lightweight, portable, bottomless tent structure. It could also be a large, permanent complex with a thermal mass water tank and sub-soil heating system assisted by an insulated foundation wall. All this depends on your price range and needs.
The larger and more permanent a dome greenhouse is – usually the more expensive it is. If you are an amateur, first decide what you want to accomplish with a greenhouse and that should narrow it down. Professionals should try even harder to write down exactly what they need from a greenhouse before buying.
