Everything You Need to Know Before Building an Air Dome
From planning and components to installation and supplier selection
What Are Air Domes?
Air domes are air-supported structures made of thick PVC fabric. Blowers continuously pump air to keep the dome inflated and structurally sound. Cooling/heating units adjust air temperature, and air-locks maintain pressure when people enter/exit.
Column-Free Space
Up to 1,000,000 sq ft of uninterrupted interior space without structural columns.
Rapid ROI & Tax Benefits
One of the fastest payback periods among covering solutions with potential tax incentives.
Quick Deployment
Manufactured in 2-6 months and installed on-site within days, not years.
Seasonal & Durable
Permanent domes last 25-30 years. Seasonal domes last ~20 years with full flexibility.
Relocatable
Easily move your dome with minimal cost if your lease ends or you find a better location.
Engineered Safety
Certified to withstand 150 mph winds and 50 psf snow loads with backup systems.
Popular Use Cases
Air domes provide versatile coverage for a wide range of sports and activities.

Why Choose HeroX?
We bring transparency, speed, customization, and true partnership to every air dome project—backed by a deep understanding of operations and sustainability.
Pricing & Transparency
Transparent, competitive pricing as we scale globally. Quotes are fully line-item detailed, so you see every cost driver. If you source parts locally or via donations, we'll adjust scope and price.
Production Time
Typical production lead time is 8–16 weeks. We keep materials in stock to be ready, so we can often meet tight timelines and deliver when others can't.
Design Possibilities
Highly customizable domes—branding, colors, patterns, membrane panel layout, doors/openings, anchoring strategy, and more. We tailor the design to your site constraints and use case.
Cable-Free Structure
Cable-free domes typically require a thicker, higher-cost membrane. The smoother exterior improves snow shedding, which boosts performance and resilience during heavy snow events.
True Partner
We think beyond the dome—we look at your full project investment. We'll help you reduce total cost by connecting you with trusted third-party partners and local suppliers, and by optimizing scope without sacrificing performance.
Sustainability & Operating Cost
We started as operators, so we design for low operating costs. We reduce energy use with high-efficiency membranes and smart sustainability add-ons—solar power options and efficient heating solutions like geothermal heat pumps.
