FEET AND METAL BAND INSTALLATION GUIDE
STEP 1
Mark the spot where the center of the dome is to be. Draw a circle with a radius consistent with the table below.
It is best to make a permanent mark where the center is (with a marker or drive in a screw) so that you know which
spot to go back to when double checking your measurements.
GLAMPING FG20 R= 2480 MM
GLAMPING FG30 R= 2965 MM
GLAMPING FG40 R= 3455 MM
GLAMPING FG50 R= 3950 MM
MM = MILLIMETER
What is needed:
• 15x feet
• 15x metal bands
• 15x nuts
• 30x washers
• 15x bolts
• 30x Anchor Bolts and washers
• Measuring tape, cord, chalk/marker (not included
in FDomes Delivery)
Drawing 1

STEP 2
Place the feet and metal bands on the perimeter of the circle which you have just drawn. Define the positions
of the door and the transparent front window.

STEP 3:
Screw the feet and the metal bands together, placing them precisely along the previously drawn perimeter line. Align
the plates together with the foot, push the bolt in from the outside. From the inside, place the washer first and the nut
second. Loosely screw on the nut.
NOTE:
Place the ends of metal bands on the external face of the vertical part of the foot.

10
STEP 4:
Double check the positioning and the radius. Readjust the feet and metal bands.
STEP 5:
Tighten the nuts on the bolts which you have just installed.

11
STEP 6:
Using the anchor bolts (if ordered) fix the feet to the deck / concrete slab. Pick two of four available holes and
drive the screws into the deck / concrete slabs (two screws per one foot).
CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU ARE DONE WITH THE DOME’S FEET
AND METAL BAND ASSEMBLY!

PVC GROUND MEMBRANE INSTALLATION MANUAL
NOTE:
By now, you should have your dome’s legs and base plates in position and screwed together, all along
the previously drawn perimeter of the dome. If you purchased the dome together with the Interior Modules, you
need to install the PVC Ground Membrane now, as you will be placing the modules on top of this membrane.
If you purchased the dome as a stand-alone unit without our Interior Modules, you can install the PVC Ground
Membrane once the whole dome is constructed.
NOTE:
The diameter of the PVC Ground Membrane is larger than the diameter of your dome’s footprint.
NOTE:
If you didn’t purchase the Interior Modules, steps 4 and 5 do not apply.
STEP 1:
Unfold the PVC Ground membrane within the perimeter
of the dome.
STEP 2:
Position the membrane evenly across the whole footprint
of the dome following its shape. It is produced in a way
which resembles the shape of the dome therefore you
may need to rotate it.
STEP 4:
If you will be installing the FDomes Interior Modules,
carefully pierce holes to let the media connections
through (water, sewage, electricity, ventilation). Make
sure that your openings in the membrane are just big
enough to let the connections through.
STEP 3:
Flip any excess material over the edges of the base plates
- make sure it is evenly distributed around the perimeter of
the dome.

13
STEP 5:
Take out your connections from underneath the membrane.
STEP 6:
Connect the male (hook) and the female (loop) sides
of the velcro tape together.
STEP 7:
While standing on the inside of the dome’s perimeter,
gently flip the excess membrane o the legs and base
plates, fully exposing them.
STEP 8:
Peel the paper o from one side of the now connected
velcro tape and place it along the bottom of the base
plates, on the vertical section facing the inside of
the dome, all along its perimeter.

14
STEP 10:
Wherever the bolts are an obstruction, cut through
the membrane to let them through.
STEP 11:
Leave any excess membrane on, you will be able to trim
it later if it can not be hidden and becomes a visual
problem.
STEP 9:
Peel the paper off from the other side of the velcro tape
and glue the membrane right on.
NOTE:
There is no need to pull the membrane tight, especially
when you are installing it in warm climates. As soon as
the temperature drops, the material will shrink in size,
which is perfectly normal.

STEP 1
Build the fist level of the framework according to the map presented below. Remember to unscrew the nuts
of the screws connecting the feet with the metal bands. It will enable you to install the pipes which are
necessary to build the fist level of the framework.

STEP 1
Remove the C-C-D-D-C-C, B-A-B-C-C-B-A-B-B pipes as presented in the below drawing.
NOTE:
The dome might loose it's shape slightly - don't worry. It will all come back together once the doors are in place.

STEP 2
Insert the door frame with the camping door and attach it to the framework using the pipes as presented
in the drawing 11. The pipes are adjustable which makes it easy to level the door.
