Perfect for add-on living accommodations, Airbnb, Glamping Resorts and for nomadic lifestyles, Nomad Dome kits are lightweight, portable and easy to assemble – they’re available in 16-ft. and 20-ft. sizes.
Nomad Domes are often set up on a deck and have optional heavy-duty vinyl flooring. Vinyl floors are available in a variety of colors. For colder climates, an insulated floor of Thinsulate sandwiched between two layers of vinyl is strongly recommended. We offer three-types of floor plans to choose from that are included with the purchase of the dome.
The distinguishing feature of the Nomad Domes, is that they have less struts (65 in total), making them much lighter and faster to assemble. Nomad Domes are 2-frequency (2v), while Dome Home kits are 3-frequency (3v) or higher with larger domes. Learn more in Frequencies Explained – Pacific Domes Knowledge Base of Customer Support Topics.
