Here is a set of pictures from a complete installation of a commercial dome. This dome was installed to cover a YMCA pool during the fall and winter winter months. Installation of a commercial dome is very similar to our residential units. The only major differences during installation are the number of blowers required for inflation and the number of people required to handle the larger dome. This dome was installed in a single day with the help of numerous YMCA volunteers. We even had time for a nice lunch :)
