Advantages for Air domes

Assembly and disassembly within hours

Our air dome’s modular design and the lightweight materials we use ensure easy setup and takedown. A 2-court tennis dome can be set up in two hours, and a 4-court indoor hockey dome with 4,500 m² of interior space can be completed in half a day, all with the help of the club’s volunteers.

light-transmitting membrane

Light-transmitting membranes make indoor sports feel like outdoor activities. The 50% light transmission offers radiant heat, ensuring a comfortable climate while saving energy.

Non-stop sports

Enjoy unlimited sports all year round and keep your club dynamic and lively throughout the year. Over 100,000 athletes annually experience this in Polyned's air domes.

Sustainability

Opting for our air dome is a choice for sustainability. The light-transmitting membrane combined with transparent insulation film ensures both radiant heat and optimal insulation. The stainless steel cable net, which supports the air dome, is designed for lifetime durability. Sustainability is a fundamental aspect of our air dome.

All types of surfaces

Football, tennis, beach volleyball, handball, and hockey. These are just a few of the sports practiced in our air domes. Thanks to our modular anchoring system, our air dome can be used on virtually any sports surface. Whether it's football artificial turf, hardcourt for tennis, or a modular sports floor for indoor sports, our air dome is suitable.
