(Only if you can wear it out)

Recycling is the process of collecting and converting waste materials and turning them into new products. At its simplest, the process is based on sending recyclables to a recovery facility. Then, they are classified, cleaned and processed into usable materials in manufacturing.

The recycling system depends on the consumer and producer as well as the recycling technology. While the manufacturer determines product design and used materials, the consumer plays a key role to deliver them to waste recycling centres. On the other hand, our effort is vain if there is no policy or waste effective centres.

Luckily, today many countries encourage recycling. At least, we know the products have been recycled or recyclable. Also, after the irremediability of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the numbers of recycling centres and companies have increased. Global companies, having a particular brand image, started to pay attention to their production techniques and materials. Although a lot of companies that do not want to pay the price -therefore do not change their system still- we are not the one!

Shelter Dome does its part on recycling! We are manufacturer whose production system is full-compatible with environmentally- friendly production. Moreover, all materials are used among %100 recyclable ones. Yes, they have not been recycled as certain products have to keep their quality. Because every time plastic is recycled, the polymer chain grows shorter. However, recycled plastics are very suitable for many other products.

We designed all parts of Shelter Dome with recyclable materials, from the main ones to the tiny ones. Choosing recyclable materials requires high effort and intense research. First, all materials had to be compatible with each other. Second, our advanced design had to be applicable on these materials. 

Although the name of the material is the same -plastic is plastic, right?- many types of plastic can not be recycled. For instance, polycarbonate Shelter Domes are needed very advanced technology to be recycled. Most probably, if you buy this widespread type of Shelter Dome, most probably it will never be recycled. Because it consumes more energy and requires a sizable investment in its recycling process than its production process.

As a matter of principle, Shelter Dome defends sustainability and takes responsibility. If we want to reach some level of sustainability, recycling has to play a major role to accomplish this objective. Thus we use, at least, recyclable materials in practice as a designer and a manufacturer. We do not use harmfull materials or processes to human health and nature. We are aware that we, as manufacturers, play a much more prominent role than we might imagine. 

Alongside using recyclable materials, we also actively produce spare parts and accessories. In this way, we aim to fix the product when needed, instead of selling a new one. Let’s imagine buying a Shelter Dome and then losing one of the essential parts, like connectors or struts. It is not that easy to find compatible parts after years. Many people today throw their products as a result of not finding the broken pieces. Alternatively, they try to adapt a part for Shelter Dome, resulting in a lower-quality user experience. You do not have to think about it anymore. Whether on the sale or not, we continue to manufacture all Shelter Dome parts.

Furthermore, we do manufacture accessories for shelter domes. You do not have to buy two different shelter domes to use in different periods of the year. For instance, when you buy a Shelter Dome Clear View you can easily add another replacement cover, instead of purchasing a new product to use your tent on hot summer days. 

We love our nature, we contribute to protecting it. This is one of the reasons why we call Shelter Dome a ‘new lifestyle’. 

We did our part! Please do not forget to do yours.

Shelterdome Clear View is the most popular model for snowy, rainy, windy and cold days. Being outside is not a burden anymore. With weather and waterproof cover, enjoy winter inside your Shelterdome. Watch the scene outside with clear igloo cover. 

Every type of Shelterdome has been designed for use in different weather conditions. Accordingly, their covers are made with particular materials. We recommend using Shelterdome Clear View in adverse weather conditions because of its specifications. Shelterdome Clear View, likewise other igloo tents, has geodesic shapes. So it brings all the characteristics stemming from the geodesic shapes along. Thanks to the geodesic shape of the igloo, extreme wind flow is lessened while continuous airflow is guaranteed inside the dome as there are no stagnant corners. However, you need a proper cover for cold days that can hold the heat inside: this is the role of PVC Clear View Cover.

What is Clear View Cover?

Clear View Cover is waterproof, weatherproof, and windproof, ensuring optimal airflow and heat insulation in winter. It offers a clear view of the outside world with PVC material. In addition, it has a door and window in case you need to decrease the heat inside. 

Clear View Cover is much more suitable for use in adverse weather conditions. The main reason is that the cover is specially designed for heat retention. It also means that while you are using the Clear View Igloo, you should consider the weather. We do not recommend using it on scorching days. However, although it retains heat, you do not feel uncomfortably warm in the summers likewise the polycarbonate tents.

We offer that if you like to use your Shelterdome under all weather conditions, you can buy a replacement cover named ‘Mosquito Net’. In this way, it is enough to change the replacement cover, then maintain using your geodesic tent. In short, it is better to use Clear View in the winter and Mosquito Net -also known as mesh net -in the summertime. 

What are the Differences and Distinctions Between the Types of Shelterdomes?

There are three types of Shelterdomes on our website. Therefore we would like to clear up this matter. We have already talked about the weather conditions. However, we did not mention the common traits. 

First of all, the essential common feature is structure of the main framework. Shelterdomes main frameworks structure is the same. %100 recyclable, non-flammable rigid plastic. So, geodesic dome tents have similar durability in the main structure.  Because the main framework was improved in consequence of hard effort, we protect this structure carefully. 

Secondly, while all the covers have distinct features, they equally have high quality. The only difference is the fabric and having a window because Mosquito Net does not need a window as it has mesh fabric. Both covers are non-flammable, which means they will not ignite or burn when subjected to fire. Instead, they start to decompose.

What are the advantages of Shelterdome Clear View?

Shelterdome Clear View is where you can enjoy yourself with friends or family. It provides you unique space to create activities, drink coffee, do yoga, picnic and create a greenhouse. It builds an alternative place when you need even in the winter. This is why Shelterdome is more than a tent. 

With Shelterdome Clear View, you can stay outside in bad weather conditions with waterproof, weatherproof and windproof structures. You do not have to go far away to be outside. Set your dome tent in the garden if you wish.

Another advantage of Shelterdome Clear View is that you can assemble it in 30-45 minutes with only two people. Typically, geodesic tents have the same measures that require more time and people. However, we consider easy and quick installation while designing. 

Finally, although most geodesic tents have less guarantee, we offer two years guarantee for personal usage and two years for commercial usage. We are sure of Shelterdomes’ quality as we designed and manufactured it! Naturally, this guarantee does not include failure or damages due to misuse or damages.

These are outstanding advantages of Shelterdome Clear View. We leave to see other advantages to you the rest!

What Kind of Accessories can I Add to Shelterdome Clear View?

You can add many types of optional accessories to your Shelterdome to take advantage of fully. 

1. Sandbags

Normally, you can use the tent stakes for softer grounds and the screws for harder grounds. However, you can order sandbags in case of extra weight need. Also, if you prefer not to use classical anchoring kit for various reasons, you can put sandbags in use.

2. Mosquito Net Cover

We talked about suitable weather conditions to use Clear View Cover. As we mentioned, because the frameworks are the same, you can order an extra Mosquito Net or Shade Curtain replacement cover for your Shelterdome Clear View. So you will save money while enjoying your tent on the hot summer days. 

3. Ground Cover Floor Tarp/Groundsheet

If you don’t want to put your Shelter Dome directly onto the ground, you have the option. The floor Tarp is UV Resistant, waterproof, strong and durable groundsheet. This is great for camping out inside the dome or protecting your furnishings.

Last but not least, in case you miss and harm any part of your Shelterdome, you do not have to worry. You can order spare parts easily because our policy is based on maintainability.

To sum up

Shelterdome Clear View is a geodesic tent that you can enjoy in daily life all year round. It is used for colder weather conditions and has high-quality materials. Clear View cover is made of %100 recyclable PVC, waterproof, weatherproof, windproof materials.

While Shelterdome Clear View is comfortably used on rainy, windy and even freezing days, we also offer replacement cover. Mosquito Net and Shade Canopy can be used in sweltering weather in great comfort. You can only buy a replacement cover without rebuying the main framework. So, simply choose the cover depending on the season and change it whenever you want. We also offer optional extras to Clear View dome, such as groundsheets and sandbags.

These were the main points we would like to mention. However, there are more favourable features and activities you can do inside. Don’t you want to discover them yourself?

A change is as good as a rest- especially when you decide to spend time inside a round shape and create your own space. Many types of research found out that shapes, spaces, and nature impact our psychology. Shelterdome, as a new and outdoor space and having a specific shape, provides positive emotional effects.

Space, shapes, environments can have a whole lot of impact on our feelings. Therefore, designs and shapes of the place we spend time and creating special activities can help us relax, be comfortable and even happier. While we were designing Shelterdome, one of our aims was to create a new lifestyle. For this reason, we did consider not only technical specifications but also ensured its function and design. So, how does Shelterdome affect our emotions and feelings?

1-Shape of Shelterdome

Shelterdome has a specific shape that is called ‘geodesic’. Geodesic shapes, besides other advantages, play a significant positive role in our perception. It is known that round or circular shapes are associated with positive qualities like infinity, eternity, dreamy, soaring, sparkling, safe, gentle, pleasant, graceful. Circles do not have angles in contrast to other geometric shapes, making them feel softer and milder. Circular shapes are much friendlier since they tend to invite the viewers into their completeness.

On the other hand, circular shapes are related to cosmos, sun, and astrological values. So, they give us a sight the circle is everywhere in the natural world. As a result, it becomes familiar -therefore secure- and comfortable.

But in the meantime, a lot of psychological research showed that these qualities also positively affect our mental health. Because, scientifically, seeing something beautiful or aesthetic makes us feel pleasure. Some hormones responsible for a good mood in the human body, e.g. endorphins, oxytocin, are caused by pleasure. This is why we promise on our website: ‘good mood guaranteed’. 

As a result, the shape of Shelterdome has the ability, consciously or unconsciously, to affect you positively. There are, of course, more reasons than we mentioned here. For instance, dome shapes positive effects are also associated with the nervous system or have evolutionary bonds. 

Long story short, Shelterdome offers a new, positive lifestyle if you like to go inside!

2–Creating your own space with Shelterdome

We spend most of our spare time indoors. The space we spend time has an essential role in our feelings and perceptions. The brain reacts to the geometry of the space, lighting, colours, configuration, proportions, acoustics, and materials you experience. It is not possible to go outside regularly. However, you can bring outside inside! 

Combining an indoor with an outdoor place gives you a chance to create your own alternative space. Moreover, you can experience different decorations by designing your own space. It is up to your imagination! 

Besides allocating time for yourself for personal activities, spending quality time with your loved ones increases happiness.  Experts indicate that the importance of doing things that everyone would be interested in while you are socializing. Shelterdome is a functional place to plan a variety of activities. 

To sum up, wherever you live, Shelterdome gives you a chance to create an alternative space for spending time alone or with family. Moreover, you can turn your igloo tent into a place for your plants. 

3-Touch Nature with Shelterdome

It is proved that nature affects your mental well-being positively. Many therapists suggest ecotherapy for reducing daily stress. Connection with nature relieves psychological symptoms such as anxiety, frustration and depression while increasing overall feelings of health, social connection, self-esteem and awareness. In addition, spending time in a natural environment has cognitive benefits such as ability to focus. 

We live in a stimulus-rich environment in modern times. But, we do not have much time spending time in nature. Nevertheless, there is an easy way to touch nature.  You can put your Shelterdome in your garden. You may want also to put some plants inside, watch the sky and do yoga. Regardless of the weather, you can have an excellent time inside Shelterdome. Don’t you think it is time to change your lifestyle and add more beneficial, creative activities to days?

Geodesic domes are structures that look like half spheres made up of many triangle supports. People have been using geodesic tents for ages in human history. They lived in the domes from the Stone Age to modern times at times. 

The reasons behind it mainly were based on life-sustaining grounds. Because of igloos‘ unique shape and construction, Eskimos could stay alive even in the coldest part of the Arctic. Because the domes allow air and energy to circulate without obstruction while decreasing the wind turbulence.

When it comes to the 20th century, people needed affordable and efficient housing that could be built quickly in conditions of warfare. It was also realized that the geodesic domes are extremely lightweight compared to the other structures that are the same in size. 

After the 1950s, geodesic domes were started to use for aesthetic purposes. For instance, Gold Dome in Oklahoma City was first used as a bank with its geodesic shape. Another example is the Stepan Center at the University of Notre Dame. Geodesic tent used even in Walt Disney. However, none of them was invented for daily use.

Later, applying modern technological know-how to shelter construction brought shelter dome into everyday citizen’s life. Today, Shelter Domes are employed in hotels, eco- camps or restaurants. But still, there was a need for a shelter dome in ‘our garden’. This is why we improved the Shelter Dome made with the best quality, recycling materials. We completely changed the intended purpose of the shelter dome and improved it with new and comfortable materials.
