The right foundation and anchoring ensure strength, safety and long-term performance.
We offer flexible options to suit your site, project and budget.
Choose the foundation solution that works best for your site and project.
A popular and attractive option, ideal for a wide range of sites including uneven or sloping locations.
A strong, permanent foundation option for long-term and high-use applications.
Suitable for situations with appropriate preparation and anchoring.
Note:
With proper preparation, domes can anchor straight into compacted earth using heavy steel ground stakes. Suitability depends on site conditions.
A dome's real-world performance depends heavily on how it is anchored.
Wind resistance is not simply about the dome frame. It also depends on:
Correct anchoring is essential, particularly in exposed or coastal locations across New Zealand.
Secured to timber platforms or structural decks.
Chemical or expansion bolts driven directly into concrete.
Heavy steel 500mm stakes optimized for dense compacted earth.
Good anchoring, on the right foundation, ensures your dome performs beautifully and remains completely secure under challenging New Zealand weather conditions.
Many customers choose to self-install, particularly smaller footprint domes. You will need practical assembly skills, multiple people, appropriate toolsets, and safe working practices.
For larger domes or more demanding layouts, professional setup can reduce stress and guarantee precise framework geometric alignment.
Approximate assembly times once your base foundation option is fully completed:
5m – 6m Dome
1 – 2 Days
7m – 8m Dome
2 – 4 Days
9m – 10m Dome
3 – 5 Days
Timeframes depend on experience, team size, site conditions, weather and chosen foundations.
A sheltered flat urban block is radically different from an alpine mountain peak ridge line or an exposed coastal site.
That is why we prefer direct, practical conversations tailored exactly to your unique property location dimensions.
