At Phoenix Domes, we specialize in high-quality, modular dome structures that blend innovation, durability, and versatility. Whether you're looking for a simple glamping tent, a hybrid dome with glass windows, or a fully insulated permanent structure, we offer customizable solutions designed to evolve with your needs.
The Strength and Versatility of Tubular Steel Frames
Our glamping domes are built using a tubular steel frame, which provides:
- Exceptional strength – Designed to withstand various weather conditions.
- Affordability – A cost-effective solution for high-quality structures.
- Ease of assembly – Simple to put together with minimal effort.
- Compact shipping – Packs down small, making it economical to transport.
This type of frame is ideal for soft covers, like our durable PVC fabric, making it perfect for traditional glamping tents. However, attaching hard, rigid panels to a tubular frame requires additional solutions.
Hybrid Domes: Combining Steel, Glass, and Aluminum
To integrate glass windows into our domes, we introduce precision-welded aluminum frames in key structural areas. These frames:
- Provide an exact surface and groove for glass installation.
- Are pre-welded and thicker, making them bulkier to ship and more expensive to produce than tubular steel.
- Maintain ease of assembly, ensuring quick setup.
By combining a tubular steel frame with precision aluminum sections where needed, we create a hybrid dome—a perfect blend of strength, affordability, and transparency.
Full Glass and Hard Panel Domes
For a completely solid structure, we offer full glass domes or hard panel domes, which are:
- Built entirely from precision-welded aluminum.
- Customizable with glass or aluminum composite panels in various finishes, including:
- Metallic
- Wood-look
- Solid color options
These panels are sealed with structural silicone, ensuring a waterproof, durable finish. Each dome is fully custom-built, allowing customers to choose which sections will be transparent glass and which will be solid, insulated panels.
Wood Panel Kits: Transforming Your Dome Interior
To create a cabin-like feel inside a traditional glamping dome, we have developed a wood panel kit, which:
- Can be added to any tubular steel dome frame.
- Provides a warm, cozy aesthetic inside.
- Can be insulated using spray foam or rock wool for all-season comfort.
For more details on insulation options, see our insulation guide.
Upgrading to a Fully Permanent Structure
Our domes are designed to be modular and upgradable over time. You can start with a basic glamping tent and gradually enhance it with:
- Glass window panels for a hybrid design.
- Wood paneling for a cabin-like interior.
- An aluminum roof panel kit for a hard exterior shell.
The aluminum roof panels feature an overlapping design, meaning they do not require precision fitting and can be installed directly over the PVC cover and the existing tubular frame. This means you can convert any existing glamping dome into a fully insulated, permanent structure step by step.
Why Upgrade Your Dome?
- Extended lifespan – PVC covers last 10-15 years, but adding a hard shell exterior ensures generations of use.
- Year-round comfort – Proper insulation and glass panels eliminate condensation issues found in tent-style domes.
- Cost-effective evolution – No need to buy a new structure; simply upgrade your existing dome over time.
