In the remote mountains of Kodiak Alaska, after 80 mph winds and piercing rain shredded his tent, Glenn Organ conceived the idea for Applied Geodesics. As he and his hunting partner honed their survival skills (the floatplane was not due back for several days) Glenn decided there had to be a way to build a small, lightweight, durable structure to stay comfortable in the most extreme conditions.

A background in aluminum boatbuilding plus a long-standing interest in geodesic domes provided the basis for a new construction technology. Instead of attaching triangular panels to a frame, this ingenious design uses bends and flanges to make a strong, self-framing, easily assembled dome structure. A patent search revealed that this was a novel approach to geodesic buildings and a patent was granted in 1998.

The first product to utilize this technology, The Extreme Wilderness Cabin, is a portable, insulated aluminum shelter that protects inhabitants against bitter cold, violent storms, driving snow, and dangerous predators.

This patented design combined with the high performance properties of polycarbonate plastic now make it possible to build a transparent, self-framing, geodesic enclosure. A Clarity Dome virtually disappears while it shelters you from rain, snow, and wind. You can have dry hair during a downpour and identify the constellations on a clear summer night.

Our product line now features clear patio covers, screen rooms, sunrooms, and clear trellis canopies &endash; all incorporating our patented technology. Please contact us if you would like more information. Dealer inquiries are welcome.
