What's the best location for my Ekodome?
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Site for Your Geodesic Dome
Ekodomes can be installed almost anywhere, but the right location depends on how you plan to use the structure and what conditions your site offers. Most customers choose a spot that balances comfort, safety, accessibility, and aesthetics.
A good location usually includes flat or gently sloped ground, stable soil, and enough space to build a circular platform that matches the dome’s base diameter. Access for vehicles or equipment can make both foundation work and delivery much easier.
Sun exposure matters too. For greenhouses, southern light is ideal. For glamping or living spaces, a mix of sun and shade helps control indoor temperatures. Wind patterns, drainage, and distance from trees also affect long-term comfort and maintenance.
Finally, check local regulations before deciding on a permanent site. Some areas have setback rules, zoning restrictions, or permitting requirements that may influence where the dome can be placed. If you’re unsure, a local builder or engineer can help you assess the best placement.
