Yes, we build it all ourselves. Lots of weekends and evenings spent tinkering and a few big pushes with friends for the heavier pieces.

I'll put a video guide together if you all are interested. Hit me with a 👍 if there is demand for a HodlHomestead dome build guide and resources for buying your own.

Honestly this is such #Goals.

Been strongly considering an off-grid style A-frame, but this looks better.

Would you say these are better insulated than A frames or just as much?

A traditional Aframe is great in snow and pretty energy efficient. Domes are also great in snow but they are still a tent in the end so they are harder to insulate.

Gotcha, that's what I thought, but I wondered if the dome was built of polyfibre or such.

Then might have to choose between A-frames, cork roofs or earthship builds instead.
