Size guide
What Size Dome Do I Need? Seats, Beds and Tables by Model
Pick the size from what happens inside: how many people sit at the table, or which bed goes in. As a rule from our factory layout guide, a Round 3.0 m seats 4–6 around a 1.3 m table, a Round 4.0 m seats 8–10 around a 2 m table, and a 1.8 × 2 m bed starts at the Round 4.0 m.

Short answer
Start from the table or the bed, not the diameter.
For dining, read the seat column and the round-table size together: the table is what fixes the layout. For sleeping, check the bed against the model’s layout and its height, because the 2.55 m-high models feel lower over a bed than the 3.0 m-high versions of the same diameter.
These layouts are planning guides for a table with chairs or a bed with walking space. They are not an approved occupancy figure. Local rules for fire, exits, accessibility and food service decide how many guests a commercial dome may hold.

Price ranges run from shell only to fully configured. Freight, duties, foundation, furniture and installation are extra. Oval and extended oval formats (3.5 × 5.5 m and 3.5 × 7.5 m) suit long tables and multi-zone layouts; ask us for a layout drawing rather than a seat count.

Quick picks
The size most buyers choose for each use.
Dinner for two
Round 2.1 m with a 1.0 m round table. The smallest and lowest-cost model.
A family of four
Round 2.5 m (2–4 seats, 1.2 m table). Choose the Round 3.0 m if you want room to move around the chairs.
Six people at one table
The Round 3.0 m is the minimum (4–6 seats). For six in comfort, the Round 3.5 m High gives a 1.5 m table and more head height.
Ten people
Round 4.0 m (8–10 seats, 2 m table). For ten plus service space, step up to the Round 4.5 m.
A guest room with a double bed
A 1.8 × 2 m bed needs the Round 4.0 m. Choose the 4.0 m High for 3.0 m of height over the bed.
A twin room
Two 1.5 × 2 m beds start at the Round 5.0 m.
Before you decide
Three checks the table does not cover.
- The door and the route in. Seats against the shell wall need a path to the door; plan where chairs push back and where staff stand when serving.
- Heating, cooling and ventilation equipment. A heater, fan or floor-standing unit takes floor space from the layout above. See climate and comfort.
- The base. Check the platform or slab against the base dimensions we supply with the quotation, including the door threshold and the path to it.

For a garden room or dome gazebo, home prices for the same sizes are on garden igloos. Comparing against a retail dome? Domevora vs Hypedome sets heights and floor areas side by side.
Questions buyers ask us
How many people fit in a 4 m dome?
Our factory layout guide seats 8–10 people around a 2 m round table in a Round 4.0 m dome (12.6 m²). That is a planning layout, not an approved occupancy; local rules decide the legal capacity for a commercial venue.
What size dome do I need for dinner for six?
The Round 3.0 m is the minimum: it seats 4–6 around a 1.3 m table. For six people with more space and head height, choose the Round 3.5 m High, which takes a 1.5 m table and seats 6–8.
Which dome fits a double bed?
A 1.8 × 2 m bed fits from the Round 4.0 m. The Round 3.5 m High takes a 2 m round bed or a 1.35 × 2 m bed.
Can a dome fit two beds?
Yes, from the Round 5.0 m (19.6 m²), which takes two 1.5 × 2 m beds. The Round 6.0 m gives the same twin layout with more space around it.
How tall are the domes?
The 2.1 m, 2.5 m, 3.0 m and 4.0 m Low models are 2.55 m high. The 3.5 m High and 4.0 m High are 3.0 m, the 4.5 m is 3.2 m, and the 5.0 m and 6.0 m are 3.5 m.
