Dear Shelter Systems Folks,

I need to choose between a BubbleDome 20 and an 18′ greenhouse dome. I am not sure how to compute the difference in available growing space/standing space/ability to ventilate.

Is it possible to have more than one door on a BubbleDome?

It is possible to make a low door opposite the tall door. Two tall doors are not recommended as they would weaken the structure (but is possible if you are not subject to wind).

You provide on your website size and volume/standable distance and standable area, and door size comparisons for your domes/yurts but not for the BubbleDomes. Are you able to provide Bubble Dome data via email, please so as to make comparisons between Bubble Dome and yurt.

The main thing to keep in mind is that the BubbleDome is much taller and at the same time smaller in diameter. This makes it weaker in the wind since a bigger wind area and smaller base. For most applications the yurt is best unless you need the height.

I recomend the standard dome. Stronger, more space for the money, and four doors.

Thank you for any help you can offer,

Sincerely,
Eve Trook
