Benefits of the 15 Foot Greenhouse Kit

• Grow Food for 3-4 People: The package details indicate the greenhouse can grow enough produce for 3 to 4 people. If you’re growing food for your family or shared living situation, this system should cover your needs.
• More Space Inside: Previous kits from KingDome were smaller. With 176 square feet, growing plans don’t have to feel cramped. There’s space for beds, aisles, and working areas.
• Multiple Frame Options: Choosing between Model 2V and Model 3V allows you to customize the greenhouse to your space and growing preferences.
• Options for Covering: Layers of polyethylene let you start with the basics and improve insulation over time. Alternatively, Solexx hard-panels offer more durability. You can pick which option works best for you.
• Install It Yourself, or Have KingDome Help: You can self-install the greenhouse. If you need guidance but have the tools and crew, you can hire someone from KingDome to provide directions. Finally, KingDome will send its own crew to install your greenhouse. Installation isn’t included in the purchase price. You can find details and costs for each method on the greenhouse’s options page.

Why Choose Geodesic Design?

When air needs to circulate through a greenhouse, square rooms don’t perform very well. Corners cause turbulence that can slow or stop air movement. Triangle faces let air flow freely through the structure. The geodesic design rolls those triangles into a sphere. Not only does this give growers more headroom than typical greenhouses, it helps with:

• Structural strength: The shape evenly distributes loads throughout the frame.
• Temperature management: Greenhouse ventilators can hang from any point without worrying about load limits.
• Light diffusion: The angled surfaces capture sunlight from varying angles as the day progresses.

Growing with the 15 Foot Dome

The clear intention behind the 15 Foot Dome is growing fresh produce. Enough to feed 3 to 4 people according to the specs, it should cover the needs of most households. You can use it for season extension, or even seed starting. What you grow is up to you. Vegetables, herbs, and small fruiting crops are all possible with the interior space. The greenhouse may also be suitable for farm stands, community gardens, or education gardens—any situation where a middle-of-the-road greenhouse makes sense.

DIY and Professional Installation

Buyers have several options when considering how to install their new greenhouse. You can do it yourself. If you’d rather have someone help point your crew in the right direction, you can hire KingDome to send a supervisor to your property. Finally, KingDome has crews that can install your greenhouse for you. If you order one that needs to be shipped, remember to provide your own 2x4x96 board. The top piece of the door exceeds the crate’s length.
