Geodesic Yurt Dome Shelter Packages with Componets for Burning Man

We have through out the years received many questions as to which of our domes would be best for burning man and what other ingredients that we offer should one get when planning for Burning Man. In attempting to answer this we have put together the following "Packages" as a general idea of what we would take or recommend. These Packages can be modified by substituting a different size dome and or adding or subtracting from the components. Shelter Systems' reomends its three strongest domes for Burning Man: the 10, 18 and 30. These domes have preformed well at Burning Man for the past 10 years. However be sure to read our Wind Warnings.

"I'm a proud owner of an 18' dome I bought from y'all back in 2003; it's been to the playa four times now, and is going on a fifth.  At least one person bought the same dome a couple years later after seeing mine.  Love that thing!" Regards, Larry San Francisco (more feedback at Q&A)
