A great product, with a few flaws you should know about,
Living in the lower Florida Keys, I purchased the DomeHouse to protect my vegetable garden from the iguanas, which are not an indigenous species, and will devastate any attempt at on open air vegetable garden. The DomeHouse also made sense because of its shape, which, while designed to allow light to pass through the skin at close to perpendicular all day long, also makes this ridiculously easy to install greenhouse, very resistant to high winds. Especially, when secured by proper tethers to proper stacks.
My complaint is in the design of the stacks provided with the greenhouse, as well as the material they use for the tethers. If you plan on using the DomeHouse in an area with very little top soil, you will find that the light, smooth aluminum short stacks they provide to be useless. A nice piece of half inch rebar, a few feet long, pounded in the ground with a sledge hammer at a 45 degree angle does very much nicer. Then, just throw away the useless green tethers that they give you, and replace them with braided nylon twine.
Having said this, if you don’t expect Gail force winds at your latitude, the DomeHouse is quite stable without a single stake, what-so-ever. Mine lives at lat 24.37N, and survived, nearly intake, despite being left up through out the 2008 Hurricane season. Unfortunately, at this latitude, and being constantly exposed to sea breeze, I suffered some minor stretch marks (tears) at the seems, where the skin is sowed into a heavy green canvas. I’ve also noted that two of the upper windows, had incurred UV damage to the tie downs for the window screen and covers.
A tip for those wanting to keep their DomeHouse up in high winds: Get a rugged tape, such as gaffers or duct tape, and place it over each joint in the four (4) internal tension poles. These composite poles come in short sections, held together by a loose fitting joint made of metal tubing. Under normal circumstances, the tension in the poles is sufficient to keep the sections from separating at the joints. However, under a sufficient wind gust, they can momentarily become separated, which will most certainly cause a puncture wound in the skin of the DomeHouse. I would also recommend taping the poles one to another, where they overlap each other at the apex of the tent.
Under more normal circumstances, where they are used in the winter, and put away for the summer, in a more Northern latitude, the DomeHouse will likely exceed your expectations for stability and ruggedness.

|My third purchase of this greenhouse.,
I need a temporary greenhouse to winter over several backyard plants and this fits the bill. It’s the tallest portable I could find anywhere, so it works to cover several 8’+ ornamental trees. Stores well in the off season taking up little room in the garage once collapsed. One portable heater inside keeps it above 45* on all but the coldest Texas winter nights. It will start to breakdown after the 3rd or 4th season of use, but that’s not unreasonable for the price.

|Dome material disintegrates,
After 3 years of having the greenhouse up to protect plants in the mild Texas winters, the dome material is literally disintegrating. It isn’t even strong enough to hold a patch. My greenhouse is frayed in 4 different spots, creating holes of a foot or more. The company does not offer replacement material and will not do anything about it since the product is only warrantied for one year. NOT a good buy for the expensive price!
