Single Skin Covair Dome
Single Skin Air Domes
As the only UK manufacturer, Covair are the pioneers in seasonal air domes.
Our Single Skin Covair Air Domes are constructed from a translucent, polyethylene material with no additional supporting structure. The air dome is inflated by a continuous running fan that creates an internal pressure to keep the dome up.
An exterior cable network is used to provide stability against high winds and anchor the dome to the ground.
Entrance is via a revolving door to prevent air loss and maintain the slight over pressure inside. An emergency access door can also be installed if required.
Single Skin Air Dome Features
The main features and advantages of a Single Skin Covair dome are:
- The domes are manufactured to the exact measurements of each site and are installed by a team of experienced Covair engineers
- The feeling inside is one of light and space due to the transparent membrane (approximately 90%)
- If well maintained the membrane should last around 6 to 8 years, although the current record is over 15 years.
- Due to the lightweight membrane, the domes can be dismantled and stored away by a small team in half a day and re-inflated in a full day, allowing the seasonal covering of courts with minimal fuss and expense
- No additional lighting is required as existing court floodlights will shine through to enable night play
- They are supplied without heating or lighting thus reducing the initial cost to less than half that of a PVC dome
- Running costs are kept down to around £30 per week for the continuous running fan
- An anemometer is provided and connected to a control panel that will automatically turn on a second fan to protect the dome in the case of high wind speeds. The second fan will also start automatically if there is a fault on the first fan
