50 Foot Dome

KingDome 50 Foot Dome Greenhouse

Farm, Community, Commercial Sized Growing

Meet the 50 Foot Dome greenhouse: A big geodesic greenhouse kit built for growers who’ve graduated from hobby greenhouses. The 50 Foot Dome boasts nearly two thousand square feet of growing space beneath a 25 foot 6 inch frame. Able to grow fresh produce for 12 to 16 people, you’ll enjoy a massive area for raised beds, wide working aisles, and storage or equipment. At $36,500 for the base kit with treated wood frame, heavy-duty connectors, four standard vents, and your choice of covering and door, farms, community growing operations, schools, and commercial growing enterprises will find this 6V model is where greenhouses transition from garden accessory to bona fide production building.

50 Foot KingDome Overview

Dimensions & Frame Details

• Height: 25 feet 6 inches tall, with the choice of a 2 or 3-foot base
• Floor Area: 1,962 square feet of growing space

• Frame: Eco-treated 2x6 base framing assembled with treated 2x4 struts held together by heavy-duty hubs (upgradeable to Super Duty Hubs)

Features of the 50 Foot Dome

• 1,962 Square Feet of Floor Area: If you’ve maxed out the growing area in your 40 Foot Dome, the 50 Foot size steps things up nearly twofold. Expect room to expand raised bed garden area, work around with ample aisle width, and store equipment or supplemental tools.
• 25 Feet 6 Inches of Interior Headroom: That height is the tall 6V frame at work. It allows growers to take full advantage of vertical space with fruit trees, trained vines on trellises, and multi-story hanging baskets.
• Constructed with Treated Wood Framing: Eco-treatment is standard on the 2x6 base framing as well as the structural 2x4 struts used to build the greenhouse frame.
• Connectors & Easy Hub Upgrades: All greenhouses ship with heavy-duty connectors. Upgrade to Super Duty Hubs for additional structural rigidity if desired.
• Four Standard Vents: The large footprint of the 50 Foot size allows for twice as many standard ventilation options as smaller models. Four strategically placed vents help you keep airflow where you need it across a broader space. Additional vents can be added upon request.
• Door Options Galore: Choose from the standard Framed Frequency Door, or upgrade to a 36x80 9-Lite Entry Door, a 60x80 French Door, or a 96x84 Garage Door for farm tractor and equipment access.
• Available Financing through Acorn: Financing is available for qualified applicants via Acorn.

Why Choose a 50 foot Geodesic Greenhouse?

• Efficient Structure & High Strength: Strength is spread throughout a geodesic greenhouse instead of being concentrated around posts or beams. Individual triangles carry a share of the load, maximizing interior square footage and opening up views of the sky. The absence of large overhead supports means light reaches plants from more angles throughout the day.
• Weather Resistance: Geodesic greenhouse frames excel in harsh weather conditions. Heavy snow load drains harmlessly off the rounded profile while strong winds wrap around instead of buffeting a flat roof or tubes. It’s a wonderful strength-to-weight ratio that’s hard to beat, especially as your greenhouse grows in size.

Available Coverings

The standard KingDome kit ships with a 12 mil interwoven reinforced polyethylene greenhouse covering. For growers who need better insulation in areas with harsh winters or wildly swinging temperatures, adding a second layer of poly adds an air gap for insulation. Weather-resistant hard-sided dual-layer Solexx polyethylene greenhouse covering is also available in 3 mm and 5 mm thicknesses. Climate, growing season, and budget help determine which greenhouse covering is right for your operation.

Do It Yourself and Professional Installation

Included with every kit are assembly and installation instructions. Owner assembly is expressly supported by the company; however, you’re not required to install the greenhouse yourself. You may hire a KingDome supervisor to oversee and direct your local crew, or you can contract directly with KingDome’s professional installation team. Because all greenhouse kits ship directly from KingDome’s facilities in Missouri, your shipping quote will include crating and delivery fees based on your geographic location.

Who Needs a 50 Foot Greenhouse?

The 50 Foot Dome has its place in the mid-size greenhouse category occupied by small farms, homesteads, community growing initiatives, and school gardens. Commercial enterprises needing lots of production space may also find the 50 Foot model fits their needs. It’s also the right choice if the 40 Foot Dome just isn’t large enough to meet your needs, but you aren’t ready to take the step up to a 60-foot greenhouse or custom commercial-sized buildings.
