Adding Domes to a Holiday Park

What a dome tier adds to a park

A park lives on its accommodation mix. Domes extend it upward:

• A premium price point. Domes let you reach guests who want something more characterful than a caravan and will pay for it, lifting your average nightly rate and widening your range.
• A fresh marketing story. A new unit type gives you something new to advertise, and a glowing dome is the kind of image that wins attention and bookings.
• Year-round earning. Solid polycarbonate keeps the wind and rain out, and with safe heating, domes stay comfortable through the shoulder and winter seasons, helping fill the quieter months that hurt parks most.
• Fast to deploy. Each dome arrives as individually numbered panels that bolt together with no specialist tools in an afternoon or a day on a prepared base. There's no lengthy building work, so a new pitch starts earning quickly.

Why Extreme for a park

Park units are occupied hard and sit in open country. Specify accordingly:

• Extreme is built for it. With panels twice as thick as Original and stainless steel bolts, nuts and anchors, it's the specification we recommend for commercial use and exposed sites. On open parkland the geodesic shape earns its keep, spreading wind and snow loads across the whole frame, and an anchored dome is engineered for strength in both, which keeps pitches in service and revenue flowing. With families on site, it also helps that polycarbonate flexes rather than shatters and is around 250 times more impact resistant than glass. For larger units, the 5 m Large comes in one specification, with maximum-thickness panels.
• Included openings keep per-unit costs simple. Every dome comes with the solid sliding door, windows, roof vents and a free Ambient LED lighting kit: the 3.5 m Extreme is £1,999 and the Large £2,999 with all of them included. Across a row of units, small extras add up, so check exactly what each supplier's quote includes per unit.
• Supply that suits a rollout. We hold UK stock at our Brighton warehouse, and with free next-day delivery to eligible UK destinations (order by 2pm, Monday to Friday) you can phase the investment and replace a unit or a part without a long wait. Extreme and the Large carry a 5-year warranty, and we offer lifetime access to replacement parts. A park ordering a row of units saves on each one: £100 off every dome from three, rising in steps to £300 off each from ten.

Fitting domes into an existing operation

You likely already run the infrastructure (pitches, hook-ups, housekeeping, a booking system), so domes slot in rather than starting from scratch. Plan the base (our platform or decking bases, or a prepared, level pad; the Large sits on its decking base), services to each pitch (mains electrics by a registered electrician) and housekeeping access. Our Complete Set pairs an Extreme dome (or the Large) with a base and a sunshade for guest privacy, priced together with a saving. Because the openings, lighting and ventilation are included, each dome arrives ready to furnish and let. If you'd rather not build in-house, our Built for you installers can build the base and dome and anchor it, booked after delivery and installed within 14 working days.

Compliance to confirm

A working park will hold much of what's needed, but check the specifics for a new unit type:

• Site licence and planning: confirm your existing consents and site licence cover additional or different structures. New pitches or a new unit type usually need planning permission, and because guests sleep in the domes, ask building control whether building regulations apply too.
• Fire safety: a fire risk assessment per unit, covering heating, furnishings, escape and alarms, including a carbon monoxide alarm wherever there's a fuel-burning appliance. If your venue needs a specific fire classification (UK/EU: EN 13501-1), contact us and we'll confirm the documentation.
• Insurance: confirm your commercial and public liability cover extends to the new units. The sliding door doesn't lock as standard, so check what your insurer expects and give guests somewhere secure for valuables.
