Pier-Tech Domes new
      #2901507 - 02/01/09 11:17 AM

I've seen ads for domes by Pier-Tech and been to thier web site. Does anyone have one or know when they are going to sell them or how much they might cost?

Scott, best way to get the information, is to contact someone at Pier-Tech, thru their "contact information".

Hi Scott:
If you need info on our domes, you can follow the construction here:
http://www.dome-observatories.com/dome_observatory_construction.htm

We will be adding pictures as we build the 10'6" all metal dome. We have added our first picture of the base ring with rollers already. If you have specific questions, you can use this form to contact us:
http://www.dome-observatories.com/dome_observatory_inquiry.htm

You should know that these domes will be high quality all metal, and built to last, and they will be offered in sizes from
8 feet to 30 feet in diameter, they are available in a walk in version and a add on version.

Vito:

When will your first domes be completed?

From the looking at the drawings, they look to be very well made. I especially like the walk in PTD1 dome. Not having to build a substructure to place the dome onto is a very big plus.

They look very well made.

Any idea of the price for the 8'and 10'6" Do It Yourself domes yet?

Jeff.
