The air dome's membrane boasts strong tear resistance and tensile strength. External support from a cable net system helps distribute surface stress, while the arch design aids in the natural shedding of rain and snow. PVC domes, on the other hand, enhance overall stability through multiple highly stable triangular structures, evenly distributing pressure and weight. This design minimizes the impact of external factors like wind or snow, making the PVC domes less prone to deformation or collapse.
Compared to traditional sports buildings, which usually take years to complete, PVC domes and air domes significantly improve on-site construction efficiency, enabling quick and efficient installation. and PVC domes can be erected relatively quickly, making them perfect for temporary or seasonal needs. Additionally, they offer great flexibility by allowing easy expansion, relocation, or removal to meet changing usage requirements.
Shelter utilizes high-quality PVC Polyester Fabric (0.67mm) for covering, ensuring exceptional performance in UV resistance and heat-blocking. Our materials adhere to international fire retardant standards, including US NFPA 701 and European DIN4102, B1, M2, guaranteeing safety. With a glossy appearance maintained for over 10 years, our domes boast strong tear resistance, along with anti-mildew and anti-chemical corrosion properties, ensuring durability and longevity.
Other brands utilize low-quality membranes without any top coat of the cover fabric leads to various issues. The bad function in UV and heat resistance results in susceptibility to melting under strong sunlight, posing a danger due to the lack of fire retardant protection. Over time, the appearance deteriorates due to UV harm, and the membrane becomes prone to tearing easily, especially by sharp objects. Additionally, in damp weather, the membrane is susceptible to corrosion and mildew growth, compromising its durability and safety.

What is a sports dome?
A sports dome is a closed sports facility with a dome-shaped roof, designed to accommodate various indoor and outdoor activities such as yoga, swimming, tennis, and soccer while providing Shelter. The outer shell of a sports dome venue typically consists of high-strength fabric material designed to be waterproof and UV-resistant, ensuring effective protection against rain and adverse weather conditions. This allows individuals inside the facility to exercise or train year-round without being affected by changes in outdoor weather conditions.
How much are sports domes?
The cost of constructing a sports dome can vary significantly due to several factors, including its size, design, features, location, and the pricing structure of suppliers.
According to Shelter's latest practice statistics, the average cost of building a sports dome ranges from $153 to $397 per square meter (or $14 to $37 per square foot).

How do sports domes stay up?
PVC domes are engineered with interconnected triangular panels that evenly distribute weight, offering resilience against wind and snow. Supported by lightweight yet durable frame materials like aluminum or steel, the structure maintains its form. Tensioning systems, including cables or rods, further reinforce the dome, averting deformation. Anchoring techniques such as stakes or ropes secure the dome to the ground, ensuring stability in diverse conditions. These combined features empower sports PVC domes to endure environmental challenges and remain steadfast.
Similarly, air domes employ various methods to remain upright, including air pressure, frame structure, tensioning systems, and anchoring. Their integrity depends on continuous inflation to sustain their shape.
How long do sports domes last?
Due to differences in structure and materials, there is variation in durability between PVC sports domes and air domes. Specifically, PVC domes typically maintain stable usage for 10 to 15 years, whereas air-supported domes can have a longer lifespan, typically ranging from 10 to 20 years.
Do sports domes have air conditioning?
Yes, to ensure a comfortable environment inside the venue, multiple air conditioning units are typically installed within the sports dome to regulate the temperature.
Are sports domes heated?
Absolutely, especially during colder seasons or in extreme weather conditions, sports domes are typically equipped with heating systems to ensure a comfortable environment for everyone inside to engage in sports activities.
