Glass Geodesic Dome
The glass geodesic dome pairs a triangulated aluminum frame with full glass panels for a luminous, fully transparent shelter. It turns any terrace, garden, or plaza into a year-round viewing and dining space.
Our glass geodesic dome uses a hard-pressed aluminum clear-span frame with no interior poles, so the full floor area stays open for storage, events, or production. Each unit is built to order with PVC covers, galvanized connectors, and the load ratings shown in the specification table below.
Product Overview
- Erect a triangulated geodesic frame in diameters from 6 m to 30 m with no interior columns.
- Glaze the full envelope in tempered glass with opening vents for natural ventilation.
- Specify double-glazed or Low-E panels to extend the usable season in cold climates.
- Add a glass or solid entrance module and connect to adjacent marquees.
- Fit interior climate control, lighting, and flooring for comfortable all-weather use.
