Hi Blueridge Glamping. Great videos. The wife and I are current glamping hosts in Michigan looking to install a 24ft Dome for STR to extend our season. The videos are very helpful to help us decide which type of foundation build to use. Our bottom of foundation is 42” for frost so the pier method with wood framed deck is also what I was leaning towards. Our business model and vision for glamping setup is also very very similar to yours. Our challenge is of course the cold and keeping the dome comfortable and preventing water lines from freezing. Being in NC I’m sure you have to some similar winterizing and insulating. Wondering what you have done or planning on doing? Thanks for any information! Keep up the good work.

Hi Hannah, yes, this can be a tough one... other than good old brute strength, we have used a combination of small ropes tied through successive grommet holes, and a tool called a sheet metal hand seamer (grips the fabric) to pull down on the cover from the outside. Pick a spot, then work your way around slowly and the slack should start to come out. Good luck!

Look up the abnb listing. It rents at a premium and they are almost 100 booked. It could cost 80000 and still be a better roi than most other avenues

Thanks for reaching out! We did our first joint venture earlier this year and has gone really well, My sense is that you would be more successful partnering with someone closer to you (for example, my GC license doesn't transfer to CA) but I'm happy to chat with you about your project. Maybe I can be an advisor? See links in description. Thanks!
