Frequently asked Questions

On this page, you can find answers to frequently asked questions about our site and products.

What is the warranty/guarantee of the transparent cover?

If stored and used under the correct conditions, the transparent cover has a guarantee of 3 years. Protecting it against excessive UV exposure and keeping it clean before storing will increase the life span of the cover. Please note your cover is not protected against general wear and tear, or in cases of deliberate or accidental damage.

How can I keep my Shelter Dome clean?

You can clean your transparent cover with a damp microfiber cloth. Do not machine-wash, bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry-clean.

How easy is the Shelter Dome to assemble?

You’ll be pleased to know, no tools are required for assembly. Any Shelter Dome model can be fully erected by two people within 30-45 minutes. We can also provide detailed, user-friendly, step-by-step instructions, or you can view/ download the instruction manual on our website. We also have a video guide for extra assistance which you can find on our website.

What surfaces are suitable for the Shelter Dome to be set up on?

You can set up your Shelter Dome on various grounds and surfaces. We provide an anchoring kit that includes steel stakes and screws. Tent stakes can be used on soil and medium to soft grounds, while the screws can be used on harder grounds e.g. wood. You can also purchase sandbags separately from us, in cases where stakes & screws cannot be used.

Can I order accessories?

If you let us know which model of Shelter Dome you have, we will be able to provide you with all the accessories available for your model. Alternatively, you can find information about the compatible extras on our website. Each accessory page has a list showing the compatible models, but if you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to call our customer service team.

Are the covers non-flammable?

Yes, all Shelter Dome covers are non-flammable. The Shelter Dome will not ignite or burn when subjected to fire, instead, it will start to decompose.

What weather is my Shelter Dome suitable for?

Your Shelter Dome is weatherproof and waterproof, so will keep you completely dry in the rain.

Please note that the Shelter Dome does retain heat, if using in direct sunlight we recommend that you keep the doors open at all times, to avoid the risk of suffocation/overheating. You can also use the Mosquito Net cover in the summer. This is great for fresh air and keeps the insects away!

The Shelter Dome is also suitable in light snow (up to around 25cm of snow).
The design allows the rain and snow to flow down the sides of the Dome, so will not be putting pressure on the top. In heavy wind, we recommend that you anchor the Shelter Dome down with the steel stakes or screws provided.
If this is not possible, please use sandbags for extra safety measures.

Please use any electrical appliances safely, at your own risk.
Ensure power supplies are stored in a cool, dry place and away from the edges of the Shelter Dome where possible moisture can occur.
