- Solid Doors on Vestibules & Screen Doors are Add-Ons
- Vestibules are Add-Ons and do NOT have a Solid or Screen door on them.
- The Standard Solid Door can be moved (repurposed) from the Geoshelter to the outside of the Vestibule.
- Extra Solid doors are usually ordered when someone wants to creative privacy on a Vestibule for a
   Bathroom area (on the back of the Geoshelter), or the Front Entry way to create an airlock in cold winter.
- Screen Doors can also be used on the inside or outside of the Vestibule for VENTILATION (2 doors create a Cross Ventilation during hotter weather), for BUG CONTROL, CRITTER CONTROL, & Semi-Privacy without shutting out all ventilation or light.

Upgrades & Add-Ons -Options for Accesories

Geoshelters Owner James explains Standard options:
 
Add-Ons or Upgrades:
Vestibules: A Vestibule adds a great deal of functionality to a shelter. The additional 4-1/2 feet of
  entryway is great for a Mud Room, Shower/Bathroom, a Hallway between joined shelters and much more
Gear Loft - Utilizes upper area of shelter and supports up to 500 lbs. of bedding, sleeping bags, guns, 
  ammo, Kitchen items, folding camping chairs, cots, and much more to enjoy open space during the day.
Hammocks - Comes in 2 sizes: Adult (supports up to 400 lbs.) or Child (supports up to 200 lbs.)
Floor Upgrade - A heavier duty waterproof vinyl covered nylon fabric (similar to that used in our covers)
  that will withstand the rigors of foot traffic while still keeping moisture in the ground from entering shelter.
Insulation - It has a two-fold purpose: It reflects 95% of radiant heat, and keeps heat in during winter.

 

*See "Extras and Add-Ons" page for more detail.

Folding Up Your Geoshelter

Geoshelters Owner James explains the best way to fold and store your Shelter Fitted Cover:
 
This is a bit lengthy, but the value of it is to get a step-by-step tutorial on how to fold up the principle part of your "Dome Home." He does it by himself here, but with a little help, 2 people could do it faster.

 

Timelapse Video of the Geoshelter Set-Up. 

Watch how fast we set up our Geoshelter in 3 minutes. To help customers see better how the GeoShelter is assembled, we set up a couple of GoPro cameras to record a timelapse as we set one up. Watch two different views for a little different insight. Note the easy creation of the color coded shapes that work together to make the ultra strong dome. Also featuring our Kupoli features including the entryway and vestibule along with the new digital Camo Cover.
