Building a Dome is a fun and easy process. A 36′ diameter dome provides 1020 square ft in floor area, can comfortably hold between 100-200 people and has a ceiling height of 20 ft. With a crew of 6 people, it can be built in under 8 hours.

DomeGuys International provides our clients with a beautiful and detailed step-by-step how to build a dome guide – including what tools and equipment to have on hand, how to prep before the build and how to properly dismantle and store your dome. The Guide was create by two of the world’s leading experts in dome building, Matthew Ochoa, who compiled the information and Molly Ochoa, who polished it off and turned into a serious piece of art (because that is what Molly does!).
Dome Build Time-Lapse Video (compliments of Spitball Media)
Building a dome and seeing it come to life is a magical experience and we have captured it on film (see video clip to the right – compliments of Spitball Media). We were excited to work with our friends SpitBall Media for the Canby Oregon’s “Light the Night” event for Dec 13-17, 2012. We will soon be bringing you photos and videos of the “Video Snow Globe”. Remarkable in its ability to create illusions with light and video mapping, this experience will make you feel like you’re in the middle of a shaken snow globe, or believe a stationary car is traveling at 100 miles-per hour.
