The DCG-designed dome
| Typical imported dome | DCG-designed dome | |
|---|---|---|
| Frame steel | 1.8 mm | 4 mm |
| Cover | PVC, 610 gsm | Woven PE, made in Australia |
| Frame from 12 m wide | Double trusses | Single arched frame |
| Clear span at the 12 m size | 11.184 m | 12.0 m |
| Wind regions | Region A only | Regions A, B, C and D |
| Assembly | Many members and bracing | Bolted. No welding or cutting |
- Heavier steel, so fewer parts
- Higher arches for clearance
- Simple, fast construction and assembly
- No welding and no cutting during assembly
- Bolted together, so it can be relocated by simply unbolting
- Only 20 holes to drill into the container for the dome and 22 for the back wall
- Woven PE cover, not PVC, which stays tight and lasts for years if kept tensioned
Which dome suits your wind region?
Imported domes are for Region A only. DCG-designed domes are engineered for Regions A, B, C and D.
Design gust speeds are ultimate wind speeds from AS/NZS 1170.2 at 10 m height in open country. Regions follow the standard's wind map, not council or suburb boundaries. Give us your site address and we will confirm the region with you before quoting.

Domes on steel legs
Steel legs fit 6 m and 12 m long domes in every standard width, 6 m to 18.3 m. You can also mix: steel legs on one side and containers on the other. Use the 3D view below to check every size.
A galvanised steel frame instead of containers
Legs and rails carry the dome where containers are not practical, or will not fit. Legs and rails are 200 UC section, fixed to 200 mm square base plates.
- No containers required
- Open at both ends for easy access
- Fits alongside an existing building
- Mix it up: legs on one side, containers on the other
- Footings and anchorage specified to suit your site and wind region
| Dome length | Each side | Whole dome |
|---|---|---|
| 6 m20 ft | 2 legs 1 rail | 4 legs 2 rails |
| 12 m40 ft | 3 legs 2 rails | 6 legs 4 rails |
- On a 12 m dome the middle leg carries the join between Rail 1 and Rail 2
- Legs, rails and base plates are numbered for a simple, ordered install
- Leg heights match the container heights: GP (2,590 mm) or HC (2,890 mm)
- Base plate positions for your size are shown in the installation manual

Why a Damien Cole Group dome shelter?
Fourteen years ago we needed a practical shelter for our own fleet of prime movers and rigid trucks. The result worked so well that customers started asking for the same solution.
Since then, we have continued to review, test and improve the dome range. Our team has visited the factory, worked with quality-control representatives and listened to customers in Perth, regional WA and beyond.

Installation, tensioning & maintenance
- Use an experienced installer and follow the supplied installation manual.
- Confirm containers, legs, rails and anchorage are suitable for the site and wind region.
- Check ropes, ratchets, straps, tensioning bars and bolts after installation.
- Keep the tensioning bar as parallel as practical for even cover tension.
- Inspect rear-wall base fixings and end flaps for movement or uneven loading.
- Re-check cover tension and fixings approximately every six months and after significant weather events.

Questions we get asked
Do I need containers?
Not necessarily. Domes mount to GP or HC shipping containers, or to engineered steel legs and rails. Length generally matches a 20 ft container (6 m) or a 40 ft container (12 m).
What comes in a steel leg kit?
Each side has a rail and legs on 200 mm square base plates. A 6 m long dome uses 2 legs and 1 rail per side (4 legs and 2 rails in total). A 12 m long dome uses 3 legs and 2 rails per side (6 legs and 4 rails in total), with the middle leg carrying the join between the two rails. Legs come in GP (2,600 mm) and HC (2,900 mm) heights to match the two container sizes.
What is included in the kit?
Standard kits include the dome framework, cover, fittings, base plates and an installation manual. Containers, front walls, doors, rear walls, legs and site-specific anchorage may be supplied or quoted separately.
Which sizes are standard?
Widths of 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 and 18.3 m, in lengths of 6 m or 12 m. The 12 m, 15 m and 18.3 m widths use a double truss frame.
Can I get a custom size?
Yes. Special widths, lengths, rises and frame arrangements can be reviewed, such as the 24.4 m example above. Special orders may take up to 90 days for delivery after design and order approval.
Can I add walls or doors?
Yes. A rear back wall, a front wall with a 4 x 4 m roll-up door, and partial wall panels are available. Custom zip-up or roll-up door configurations can also be considered.
Do I need council approval?
It varies by council and site, and temporary structures often have different requirements. Please confirm locally before ordering. Final engineering, wind rating and anchorage depend on the model and your site.
Do you install the domes?
We can recommend independent installers. Whoever installs it should be experienced and follow the supplied manual. Check ropes, ratchets, straps, tensioning bars and bolts after installation.
Are spare parts available?
Yes. Spare parts and practical support are available locally from our South Guildford base.
