OBJECTS INSIDE THE DOME

 

Make sure you think about what objects will be inside the dome.  Will you leave them in and install the dome over top of them or will you need to get an L zipper entry to have room to bring them in later?

Be careful when you are measuring to include everything.  If objects are left inside the dome when installing, they should be covered with something to pad them to keep the vinyl from tearing over a corner or other protrusion.  In windy situations (30 mph or greater), the dome may need to be deflated often.  You will need to determine if having objects inside is a wise idea or not.

CORNERS

 

Rounded corners are needed to keep the strength of the dome.

Smooth the air seal flap as much as possible.  In some places, like curves or corners, you may need to fold or cut a slit in the flap to avoid an air leak.

OBJECTS OUTSIDE THE DOME

 

Keep at least two feet between the dome and any fences, overhanging roofs or other objects.  The domes can sway a bit in the wind.  The dome should be deflated prior to winds of 30 mph or greater.

 Be sure to keep plenty of distance between the dome and vegetation that could cause a puncture.  Keep overhanging branches trimmed back to avoid damage from falling limbs.
