Why Choosing Quality Glamping Domes Pays Off
Launching a sustainable glamping site involves many decisions, but one of the most crucial is how much to invest in quality dome accommodation. While it may be tempting to save money by choosing cheaper options, this can become a costly mistake. In glamping, quality matters — for your guests, your business, and the environment.
The True Cost of Cheap Domes
Many new glampsite owners choose low-cost, imported domes that seem appealing at first. These often use inferior materials to keep prices down. Although a new dome may look impressive in a brochure, it needs to stand up to real-world conditions.
Over time, low-quality components begin to fail. Common problems include rusting metal, torn or discoloured PVC, and weakened window seams. These visual and structural issues quickly devalue your offering and frustrate guests.
If it’s not a Quality Glamping Dome Repairs Add Up Quickly
Cheap domes are not built to last. Soon after setup, they can need extensive maintenance or even full replacement. These unexpected costs often outweigh the initial savings.
It’s especially difficult when parts need replacing. Imported domes often come from resellers who lack inventory or support. At TruDomes, we regularly help businesses replace broken parts from suppliers that no longer exist or don’t offer after-sales service. While we can help, sourcing custom fixes is never as cost-effective as having direct access to the right parts.
Sustainable Dome Choices Build a Stronger Brand
Your glamping site reflects your values. If sustainability is important to you or your customers, investing in long-lasting structures is essential.
Cheap accommodation has a high environmental cost. Frequent repairs, replacements, and landfill waste increase your carbon footprint. Instead, focus on the circular economy — a model that reduces waste and maximises reusability.
At TruDomes, we design for sustainability. Our aluminium frames have a 60+ year lifespan and are endlessly recyclable. Our robust PVC covers last 10–15 years and are also 100% recyclable. Even our packaging is designed to be repurposed.
Ask the Right Questions
To avoid common pitfalls, choose your accommodation supplier carefully. Ask them:
- What materials are used?
- What is the expected lifespan?
- Are components recyclable?
- Is there a warranty?
- Can I get replacement parts easily?
If they can’t answer or dodge these questions, look elsewhere. A reputable supplier will offer full transparency and robust product support.
