Installation Options

Owner/Self Installation:
The owner can install the Growing Dome by following the instructions in the manual and installation video provided with each dome. We recommend that at least 2 people do the installation, though some tasks can be done alone.

Supervised Installation:
Growing Spaces can provide a certified Supervisor to work with the owner and owner-hired crew to install the dome kit. Supervisor labor rate is $300 per 8 hour day. Installation usually takes 3-4 days depending on weather, dome size, number and expertise of crew. The supervisor works as well (try to keep up with him). Installation cost does not include delivery/travel, lodging and food arrangements.

Growing Spaces Full Crew Installation:
Growing Spaces can provide a Full Crew to assemble your Growing Dome, which is the easiest option for many owners. Depending on the dome size, the Standard Installation cost is $750 to $4950. See below for details. This does not include delivery/travel costs, lodging and food arrangements. Please call or email us for a personalized quotation.

Installation Standard Costs
for Growing Spaces Crew

The following charges are for the installation of the basic dome structure by Growing Spaces, and so do not include, site preparation or excavation. It is more economical for an outside contractor to do the leveling and excavation than the Growing Spaces crew. The bed design and installation is also not part of the kit or installation cost, but Growing Spaces can be contracted to do so at additional costs.
