Best Greenhouses – Geodesic Domes


Not only are Greenhouse Domes beautiful, they have many other advantages that make them a great option for backyard food growing. Greenhouse domes have a large floor plan, a small surface area and plenty of space inside for vertical growing. Geodesic domes are the lightest, strongest, most cost-efficient structures known to man. Domes are extremely energy efficient. The more area a structure has the more heat escapes, thus, helping you to save energy, costs on materials and labor. The geometry allows for maximum circulation and ambient airflow with little energy input. The shape also maximizes sun exposure, so plants get the full benefit of the sun from all angles.

One of the greatest features of a geodesic dome is its strength. The triangles in the frame distribute weight equally throughout the structure, so no internal supports are needed and the most internal space in covered. Geodesic domes hold up very well to strong winds and other elements, making them ideal for just about any climate. Domes are known to be the only withstanding structures during hurricanes and earthquakes. In addition either expanding or reducing the size of the base as well as adding or subtracting triangles accordingly can easily scale up and down domes. They are also easy to construct and can be permanent or temporary structures.

Vertical gardening is a smart option for sure, but besides the materials and energy savings, why would anyone want to put their vertical garden in a dome? This is because domes allow the most light to touch all points in the structure. You won’t get the shading and hot spots that you normally would with a square greenhouse domes. Pacific Domes has helped many gardeners make their dreams a reality.
