What are Geo Domes?
We get asked this often as we are the only bamboo geodomes available to hire in the UK and perhaps even Europe. A geodome is basically a hemispherical venue which is created using a structure of triangles. It is far easier to see than describe! Designed and manufactured in Scotland and available to hire UK wide, the team have come up with 5 reasons why Atlas Domes make a superior alternative to any other traditional marquee or tepee.
Eco-friendly
A sphere is the most efficient shape, allowing our team to use less canvas to cover it. This means less materials and less weight than traditional marquees. And less weight equals to less CO2 being emitted when transporting to your destination.
What’s more, our domes are made from the robust material bamboo. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on Earth, growing up to a meter each day! A much-loved benefit of bamboo by the team is that it is light ensuring a quick, easy build and take down for your planned occasion.
Strength
The natural artwork of our bamboo domes makes a stunning setting for a wedding but it is not all about looks. With a higher tensile strength than steel and greater compressive strength than many blends of concrete, there is no denying bamboos structural credibility. With the structure being a dome, this allows for a higher wind speed capacity than traditional marquees or tepees which is ideal as UK weather is unpredictable by nature.
Non limiting Structure
Decorating our geodomes is simple as they are built with no uprights! This means that there are no structures blocking any views and there is nothing to stop the floor space from being utilised to its maximum potential.
Our practical design allows for easy rigging of lights, flowers, and which ever decor you desire.
Weekend Hire!!
Our rates are based on a weekend hire, meaning we set up on a Thursday and take down on the Monday allowing you to extend the wedding celebration and enjoy the use of the dome for the entire weekend…. Relax and let the good times roll!
Dome-tastic!
If you are looking for an impressive venue which will have your guest’s jaws dropping, then our bamboo geo dome won’t disappoint. With multiple layout options available including a design which enables the entrance to be placed where you need it making the domes beautiful and practical.
