Building Our Geodesic Dome Part 1| Arctic Acres

- Hey You Tube Family we are back with another build video on our Arctic Acers Geodesic Greenhouse Build. This video is officially part one of the build!
We are building a 26' Geo Dome for our 4 acre homestead to supply our family with fresh vegetables, Herbs and fruit year around. We live in central North Alberta in a Zone 3 Climate; so our summers are short and our winters are long and can be quite harsh at times with temperatures dipping to -50 with wind chills. With our ever changing world and the food scarcity shortages, inconstancies in product, rising prices and of course the rise in food borne illnesses, we are striving to be more self sufficient and rely on the land we have.

oh this is so cool! we are originally from AB, moved to BC. I have had my eye on these greenhouses for a while! Cool to see it being put up!
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!
Very nice! We are building our 20ft dome in Northern Ontario. My wife is driving me nuts for us to get it done but happy wife happy life. We are only getting about 60 days sans frost so we certainly will need it.
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
I would recommend installing vertical perimeter insulation. Without it, the heat has a direct pathway out of the greenhouse via the gravel base and the ground.
Thanks we may have to do that.

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 :)
