Dome Raisings

The Lowdown on Raising Up a Dome!

If you want to save money and time
plan a Dome Raising when you are ready!

Would you like to host a dome raising for your dome? Here’s how

Much like a barn raising, a dome raising brings people together for a unique building experience – and you can even celebrate with a “dome dance” afterward! Follow these steps to get started:

  1. Schedule Your Delivery: Arrange your dome delivery with Natural Spaces Domes.
  2. Choose a Date: Depending on your dome’s size, plan for one or two days for the raising.
  3. Define the Project Scope: Decide if you want to complete just the dome shell or include the exterior panels as well.
  4. Invite Friends and Family: Get your loved ones involved in the build!
  5. List Your Dome Raising on Our Website (optional): Dome enthusiasts often travel to join. Email us if you’d like to post your event details online.
  6. Organize Meals & Refreshments: Plan picnic-style food and drinks for everyone.
  7. Additional Support Options: If you’d like extra assistance, we offer:
    • ZOOM Raisings: Schedule a Zoom session with Natural Spaces Domes to ensure the dome setup goes smoothly. Our experts are available for 3 hours on Day 1 to oversee the initial setup and check in throughout the day. Additional hours are available if needed.

                Onsite Supervision: For an additional fee, we can send an NSD expert to supervise your dome raising in person. Fees vary based on location, travel costs, and scheduling. Contact us at NSD@naturalspacesdomes.com.
