Build Your Own Glampex Glamping Site!
Can I even build it myself?
Many people ask: is it possible to build an entire glamping site alone, with friends, or with family?
The answer: not only is it possible – we strongly recommend it!
Creating a dome-based accommodation is more than just construction – it’s a shared project, where every bolt and beam brings you one step closer to realizing your dream. With a pinch of careful planning, some physical strength, and a good dose of enthusiasm, the result will be something to be proud of – a place where others can also unwind in the embrace of nature.
This guide walks you through the full process of building a glamping site based on a Glampex dome – from the first groundwork all the way to the hammock with a view.
Each step is available on its own, with visual and written explanations to help you along the way.
The 6 Steps That Separate You From Your Dream Site:
Stage 1: Preparing the Land
Before you build anything, you’ll need to decide: concrete slab or raised wooden base? Sunlight, drainage, slope, and vegetation all matter. Good placement isn’t just about looks – it defines how your dome functions and how guests experience it long-term.
Stage 2: Connecting your services
Water, electricity, sewage – real comfort means real infrastructure. Whether you’re going full networked or off-grid, we walk you through all the options. Not sure what you’re doing? Involving a professional is highly recommended.
Stage 3: Laying your Foundation
The dome’s stability depends on its base. Wood deck or concrete slab? Each has pros and cons – time, cost, maintenance, slope, and terrain all play a role. By the end of this step, you’ll see clearly which solution suits your project best.
Stage 4: Build your Dome
Here comes the exciting part:
Erecting the frame, stretching the cover, adding insulation, doors, windows, and handling all the technical details.
Whether you build solo or with a team, this is where the iconic shape comes to life.
Stage 5: Build your Interior
This is where your imagination can soar:
Lofts, kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, ambient lighting – it’s all up to your creativity and needs.
We’ll show you clever solutions and practical tips to make your dome not only stunning but functional too.
Stage 6: Build your Exterior
Glamping isn’t just about the interior.
Gardens, pathways, lighting, outdoor seating, hot tubs, fire pits – this is where the nature-focused experience truly blossoms.
This stage helps you create an inviting and harmonious environment around your dome, perfect for relaxing or adventuring.
At every stage, you can bring in a professional – or take it on yourself, in part or in full. This guide helps you understand what to expect – so nothing catches you off guard along the way.
