Construction Overview
Construction & Installation of 6.7m
The modular construction of the 'Sirius' Observatory is designed so that both the Home & School model can be assembled by unskilled persons. The University model will require factory assitance. Assembly instructions are provided for the construction of the dome walls, doors and shutters. The mechanical drive mechanisms are also modular and can be easily assembled using the instructions provided. Crane assistance is only required for the installation of the dome onto the walls of the complete 'University' and 'School' size models.

Fibreglass Constructions
With strong fibreglass construction the 'Sirius' Observatory provides the strength and characteristics of ocean going fibreglass yachts and marine craft. Fibreglass vessels are built from exactly the same materials. We have added additional strength to return flanges, roof panels, doors and shutters of the 'Sirius' Observatory. Designing and manufacturing with fibreglass provides clean and even flow lines that will not hold snow, ice and other debris.
Weather Proofing
Because of the expensive equipment to be housed inside the 'Sirius' Observatory, we have built waterproof joints to all dome and wall panels. This seal is guaranteed for the life of the product. The white outer shell provides the user with a 'warmer in winter' and 'cooler in summer' environment to enjoy both work and leisure.

Gelcoat Finishes
We use only the best marine grade Gelcoat finishes available on your 'Sirius' Observatory. This Observatory will appear as new, year after year in all weather conditions. There is never a requirement for painting the inside or outside of the product. When necessary, the use of a simple spray or wipe with fibreglass polish to the outside, will maintain the 'Sirius' superior clean lines.
Pre-Assembly
Your 'Sirius' Observatory has been pre-assembled and made fully operational at our manufacturing plant prior to shipping. Each panel and mechanical part is then numbered for ease of assembly.
Dismantle and Re-assembly
It's easy with the 'Sirius' Observatory. Simply unbolt all the numbered parts and rebuild at your new location. No loss of valuable assets such as structural brick or stone walls. The walls are part of the observatory with a 'Sirius' Observatory.
