Product Description
3500-6000 mm diameter options · Rigid polycarbonate dome panels on aluminium frame · 4-6 mm polycarbonate (PC) glazing panels with UV protection · 10+ Years (structural dome) · 1-2 Days on prepared base
A transparent dome is one of the most photographed accommodation types in glamping. This range uses rigid polycarbonate panels on an aluminium frame — a permanent structure rather than the inflatable membrane bubbles that dominate the low end of the market.
Rigid PC dome, not an inflatable tent
This is the single most important difference, and it is a commercial one:
| Rigid PC dome (this product) | Inflatable bubble tent | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Aluminium frame with 4-6 mm PC panels | Air-supported single-layer membrane |
| Wind and snow | Holds shape under load | Deforms or deflates |
| Power dependency | Only for lighting and climate | Blower must run 24/7 |
| Noise | Silent | Continuous blower noise |
| Service life | 10+ years, built for commercial operation | Typically 1-3 seasons |
| Failure mode | None structural | Blower or power failure collapses the dome |
For an operator running paid accommodation, the inflatable version’s single point of failure — the blower — is exactly what guests notice and what staff have to manage. The rigid dome removes it.
Ventilation and comfort
An opening skylight at the crown provides stack ventilation: warm air leaves at the top and cooler air is drawn in at floor level, keeping the interior usable in summer without relying solely on air conditioning. Additional openable panels can be specified where the dome is used for dining or gatherings.
Sizes and fit-out options
| Diameter | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 3.5 m | Couple glamping pod, garden room |
| 4-5 m | Family glamping unit, tea room |
| 6 m | Lounge, dining dome, hot spring enclosure |
Optional items include insulated floor decks, furniture packages, curtain tracks, blackout blinds and smart lighting controls for turnkey glamping units.
Where they are used
- Glamping resorts — premium transparent accommodation
- Rooftop terraces — bars, tea rooms and observation lounges
- Garden rooms — studios, reading rooms, dining domes
- Hot spring and pool enclosures — year-round use in cold regions
- Scenic viewpoints — star-gazing and panoramic stays
Pairing with space capsule units
The dome range works alongside our space capsule collection — capsules for enclosed, technology-rich accommodation and domes for transparent, view-led spaces. Together they form a “capsule + dome” layout for resorts that want two visually distinct room types on one site. Send us your site plan and target nightly rate and we will size the dome and fit-out for you.
Four Key Advantages
Fast Assembly
Pre-fabricated and modular design allows rapid on-site deployment: the shell assembles in 2-4 hours, and most units are fully deployed within 24-48 hours, minimizing labor costs and project timelines.
Cost-Effective Shipping
Optimized flat-pack design drastically reduces shipping volume. Multiple units can be loaded into a single container, saving up to 75% on international freight costs.
Built to Last
Corrosion-resistant galvanized steel frame with premium insulation. Engineered to withstand extreme weather, from scorching deserts to freezing mountains.
Stackable Design
Up to 3 stories with structural integrity. Modular connection system enables flexible expansion as your needs grow over time.

Specifications and options

| Frame | Galvanised steel, 2.0 mm | 2.5 mm | Coastal and high-wind sites need the heavier section |

| Electrical | Lighting and sockets, pre-wired | AC pre-wiring, extra circuits | Diagnostic or kitchen equipment needs its own circuit |
From the factory gate to your site
| Step | What it adds | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| EXW (ex-works) | Goods at the factory gate, nothing else | FOB − US$62.5/unit at 16 units per 40HQ |
| FOB | Inland haulage to port and export clearance | The published FOB range above |
| CIF | Ocean freight and insurance to your port | FOB + US$181–544/unit (eight lanes, see the landed cost index) |
| Duty and VAT | Assessed on CIF value by the HS code your agent files | Not included — paid at destination |
| Installation | Foundation, lifting, assembly, utility hook-up | Our crew for Jakarta stock; quoted elsewhere |
The only steps that move with your project are freight and installation. Everything before them is fixed by the unit you choose — which is why we separate them here instead of quoting a single delivered number.
What the price includes, and who does what
FOB covers the building at the port of loading. Everything after it is arranged by someone — the table below states who, so a quotation can be compared line by line.
| Model | Size (mm) | FOB price (USD) | MOQ | 40HQ loading |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Star Dome Bubble House | 3500-6000 mm diameter options | On request | 1 set | Per model — ask |
EXW is US$1,000 per 40HQ lower than FOB (the factory-to-port leg): about US$62.5 per unit at 16 units per 40HQ.
Who arranges what
| Layer | What it covers | Who arranges it |
|---|---|---|
| Production and loading | Build, trial assembly, container loading plan | EasiHive |
| Ocean freight and insurance | Port of loading to destination port, typically 25–40 days | EasiHive (quoted as CIF) or your forwarder |
| Import duty and VAT | Assessed on CIF value by the HS code declared at import | Your importer of record |
| Port handling and clearance | Terminal charges, agent fees, demurrage risk | Your clearing agent |
| Inland haulage and offloading | Port to site, crane or forklift at destination | Your contractor, or arranged on request |
| On-site assembly | Unpacking, assembly, utility hook-up | EasiHive crew for stocked units from Jakarta; remote guidance elsewhere |
Duty percentages are not published: the rate depends on the HS code your agent files and the value assessed at the port. We ship under a stated HS code and provide a commercial invoice that matches the packing list.
