I forgot to mention all of metal construction !!

Thanks for watching and and adventure it sure has been. Wow that sounds amazing and yes these are expensive. I’m Canadian it’s even more than the above price you mention. Cheers

That's too funny our Dani is with a C. That is awesome that you found your property and will build a dome. If you have any questions we are here. So much fun and also hard work but so worth it in the end! Cheers

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily I can’t wait to see how it handles our cold winters!

Us too!

Thanks for watching we really appreciate all the support. Mental Health is something that affects us all whether we want to talk about it or not. Many Blessings and Happy Thanksgivong.

Its hard to believe just a few years ago it was a blank canvas with just trees on it! Now we are so close to having a operational homestead. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! it means the world to use knowing people love our videos and what we are trying to accomplish. We are so exited our tropical plants are growing well the banana and our orange, lemon trees are growing well with heat in the dome. It has been a lot of work this summer but well worth it in my books. We also thought it would be nice to go relax in winter and have a wood stove to relax by on a -40 day here in Alberta. Thanks for watching!

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily you are welcome. Love it! ❤

That's awesome! I hope your build go's well take your time and you will be fine its a great package just a few things i wish we know before we started building. like the vents don't install them in a E panel like the directions say to do, refer back to your perches e-mail from artic acers there's a link below with the installation instructions and don't forget your seem tape on all your panels! Thanks for the great motivation to keep making videos for you and our community. till next time! AAF

The shade cloth covers probably 60% of the dome

Hello, yes my mom was telling me about your conversation. Very cool this winter will be an experiment that’s for sure.

Thank you

I sure could use more tools that’s for sure. You use what you have. Tools are not cheep.

We have spent around 32,000 with everything including the pond beds and rock/gravel.

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily thanks for the info

Anytime.

It would work but I would look into Arctic acres new geo homes they look bettersuted for living in. You could live I. A geo dome but it might get a little hot In The summer months.

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily oh I will check them out thank you

Where are you from? We found ours at our local coop

Thank you 😊

That’s what I ended up doing and it worked so much better.

We do have insulation but we find we like to keep our coop about -10c at coldest. We like our girls to stay happy. Also we found with our coop and the open bottom the deep litter method helped to insulate the coop as well. It was our first winter with chickens and we learned a lot.

We purchased the two largest as I was doing both kids

I guess time will tell. Right now our dome is rating very warm and we have not had to utilize the heat at all. We would also love to install wood fireplace on the other side of dome for another heat option.

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily I`d try to improve the insulation value, especially at night when the glazing serves no useful purpose other than losing heat.

We did not. If you want you can go back in our video series and watch right from the day we unpacked our shipment and broke ground. This is the largest dome before requiring concrete.

Thank you 😊

Thank you so much! We were not sure about the colours but we love it now!

You use what you got lol

I’m actually thinking about building one of these during the winter. How do you think it would hold up in the Yukon? Thinking about year round growing!

Well we get close to similar winters you probley get a bit colder but we hit - 50c a few time in winter I’ll let you know how we make out this year being our first winter with the dome. We only build it 2 months ago and we did install a natural gas heater for the colder months to keep the dome above freezing. But so far we are loving it. It’s well worth the investment and time.

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily ya I would love to know the fuel bill especially for the colder months. I was thinking a wood stove with coils around the exhaust and circulate the water from the stock tank

@@Frank-qr3bl that is a excellent idea we may do that also as we are putting in a wood stove eventually as well.

hey the permit process was not fun and with artic acres we had engineered drawings however they were stamped by Canada and Alberta required an engineer to stamp as well from the province. We spend a few grand on the permit process and land surveying. Are you building a DIY Dome or have you purchased a kit? Also that is awesome that the dome is what you are starting with. We would love to buy some land to start over and go completely off grid north of Edmonton as well.

@AlbertaAdventurerFamily A few grand for permit sounds horrifying honestly. Only think the raw material foe the dome will be around 5k. And I'm thinking of building DIY acidome and Paul Robinsons bevel method. But with the land price atm I'm still on the fence lol. Btw if you are starting a new one I'm happy to help. I think there's a listing 77k for 10 acres just an hour north from the city

We would build a 44f dome from Arctic acres we love the 26 but the more growing space you have the better I would not attempt to build one from scratch the kit was good and easy to build. I consider myself good at building things from scratch and this if I had to build it myself would have taken 6-10 time longer it’s pretty complicated when you have 4 dident sized triangles and all the angels. Well worth the kit for $26000 and 2 months of my time after work every day. Thanks for the offer if we do move out north farther I’ll give you a shout!👍✨

Thank you so much and yes it’s a lot of work but very rewarding! Mike edits the videos and Chantalle does the social media and most recording and all website write ups. Chantalle also homeschools ours oldest and Mike works. Together we make a great team! We will be posting an update on the done very soon as it’s starting to look like a jungle! We also installed lighting recently for our short days in winter.

Thank you and that’s a nice unit. We like the chiefs

Thank you

Totally. Where abouts you live?

Thanks

It was around 23,950.00 Canadian plus tax in your province.

Glad you enjoyed it

Hey that’s awesome. I think we do still have an arm rest actually; just have to dig through my shop and find it! Where about you located?

Hello and these greenhouses are supposed to be great for our northern climate also snow and wind. The issue comes with what you want to grow in those cold months. Cold crops apparently survive with no supplement heat; however we have chosen to go with some tropicals so we are striving to keep greenhouse above 10c in mid winter. We live in Leduc county south east of Edmonton.

@AlbertaAdventurerFamily ok. Thanks for letting me know. That gives me a better idea of how these greenhouses would work up here. We are zone 2a here. My husband built me a nice big greenhouse in Whitehorse but we always like to improve on things right? There we needed supplemental heat in the summer to keep it above 10 degrees. It will be the same here!

No problem 😉 this will be our first winter so time will tell. Fingers crossed we can strive to keep warm and have a beautiful garden year around.

Thanks we may have to do that.

​@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily It wont be easy to retrofit but is worth doing especially with temperatures down to -50 :). I`d opt to remove the exterior rocks and gravel and install wing insulation which is basically a skirt of rigid insulation that slopes away from the dome. Vertical perimeter insulation requires less material but will involve digging a relatively deep trench around the dome. Something else you may not have considered is the north wall triangles that have reflectix on them effectively block the light so you could fill those triangles with rigid insulation to further reduce heat loss. The insulation value would increase from R2.8 to at least R 17. In an extreme climate, every little helps :)

Well depends on what you call finish. Yes it is usable and we use it for seasonal storage but it is not a livable loft if you know what we mean. We have not put a railing on it but that’s it. It works great for what we need. We will have to show it in one of our upcoming videos

Oh it’s still there and in the plans however food is important to us in this crazy world we are living in. We have actually thought of making the Winnie into a hip camp for people to stay in. We honestly love the Winnebago and can’t wait to get working on it again in the future.

Thank you so much 😊 Calgary is a beautiful city

That’s awesome. Our summers are far too short! We don’t want to think about frost but it will be here sooner than later. Good luck with your build

Amazon link in the description or for your local hardware store.

Thanks for watching and it was defiantly an interesting build. We cant wait until it’s all finished inside. Also we wish we could move to BC… lucky you!

Thank you so much for your input, we will probably go with cedar as it’s mold and mildew resistant👍

I never thought of using ruff cut good idea. With the price of cedar we might have to go this route we will see. We are keeping our eyes peeled for a good deal as we will need a bunch. Devon is an amazing place to live we love going there for family fun. Thanks for the great input!✨

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily just passing along ideas!! saw on the site for Arctic Acres and the link to the build by Shawn James - his channel "my self reliance" has tons of outdoor adventure and content you might like if you haven't seen him - but y'all probably don't have much time to be watching videos this time of year!! ua-cam.com/video/OAEYg7ypz1o/v-deo.html

we really enjoy my self reliance; great channel!

Sounds great!

I’m thinking cilantro too

Our pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching!

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily 😊

Thanks for following along on our adventures; we really appreciate it. We are so excited for this greenhouse and the benefits that come along with it. You are right our girls will learn so much which complements our homeschooling we do. We are also working on expanding our outside food forest and would love to get a couple apple trees. Any recommendation’s?

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily two of my kids work at landscaping / tree farms so will ask what they might suggest for you!

@@AlbertaAdventurerFamily two of my kids work at landscaping / tree farms and they said any local nursery could supply an apple tree but best to plant with a crab apple or something else to help with pollination which is the same way as the people that planted ours was done 40+ years ago.

Thank you that is great to know.

Hello 👋 thank for watching

Wow and Thank you. We will be updating patron very soon with some content as it’s been a busy few months. We are glad you found us and best wishes to your family as well.

Thank you! 😊
