Wind Performance
Built for New Zealand conditions
Wind performance depends on site exposure, dome size, foundation design, anchoring method and installation quality. Requirements vary between locations.
Aerodynamic by Design
Curved surfaces help wind flow smoothly around the dome, reducing direct pressure compared to flat-wall structures.
Wind hits flat surfaces head-on, creating localized drag turbulence & suction.
Wind flows naturally up and over the dome apex, minimizing raw drag values.
Anchoring Makes the Difference
Real-world load capabilities are directly bound to your base foundations or platform. Our custom anchoring systems lock each dome down.
Built for NZ Conditions
From open sea coastlines to exposed ridges, our domes are selected and configured to handle New Zealand's unique environments.

Strength & Structure
Engineered Strength. Intelligent Design.
Geodesic frames are proven to distribute stresses over the whole dome, delivering outstanding strength with lightweight structural engineering.
Load Distribution Efficiency
The geodesic shape distributes loads across the entire structure, not just walls or columns.
- Loads spread across entire frame
- Reduces stress on any single point
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- High resistance to wind and uplift when anchored correctly
Key Structural Benefits
Every component works together as part of a tightly integrated system.
LOAD
DISTRIBUTION
Forces are shared through the entire framework.

Size & Intended Use
Our domes use a galvanised steel frame designed for long-term durability and dependable performance in most New Zealand conditions. If in doubt talk to us about the upgraded fittings and frame strength options below.
