Standard Go-Dome™

The "Standard Go-Dome" from Go-Dome.com is the first and best inflatable doorway portable planetarium dome. Often imitated but never matched in quality and customizable options, it is easy for one person to set up. Designed for portable theater use, the custom gray is perfect for rich colors and minimum crosstalk. The dome is available in sizes from 4m to 10m diameter and are certified fire retardant to the highest (Calif) standards. All standard domes have a 1.5 m "spring line" (height of the "equator" above the floor), unlike some competing domes that are not even a full hemisphere inside. To raise the spring line, choose a "Ring Dome" with 1, 2, 3, 4 or even 5 rings (5 rings raises the horizon a full 2 meters for walk-in use).

Standard Go-Domes have an attached inflatable door. The inflatable doorways are attached to the entry floor with hook and loop so they can easily be pushed aside to allow wheelchairs to roll in. Four and five meter diameter domes come with a 5.7 foot tall entryway; domes six meters and up have a 6.3 foot tall entryway (unlike the cheap imitation domes that only have a 5 foot doorway).

For a less expensive, lighter option, we also offer a "Novice Dome" with only a zipper opening, much as our competitor uses, but those domes do not allow users to enter or exit during a performance so we do not recommend them.

The domes come with velcro tabs so you can easily attach banners to the side, and are inflated by standard carpet blowers (selected for quiet reliable operation).

Domes are available in two colors: Dark Blue and Black.
