Preparing your Site
Before you begin assembly, it’s essential to create a stable, level base that’s tailored to your
site conditions and the size of your Zomes. You have two options for your foundation: a post
and beam system (ideal for uneven or sloped sites) and a compacted gravel base (best for
level ground). Follow the detailed guidelines below for each option.
Option 1: Post and Beam Foundation
General Guidelines
Site Assessment: Identify high and low spots. The post and beam method allows
you to “float” the structure over an uneven surface by elevating and supporting the
base.
Layout: Mark the perimeter where the posts will be installed. For optimal load
distribution, posts and supporting beams should be spaced no more than 2 feet
apart.
Footings: Dig holes or trenches for each post. In most regions, a minimum depth of
24 inches (or deeper in frost-prone areas) is recommended, with a diameter of 18–24
inches. Footings should be poured with concrete to secure the posts.
Materials & Sizing by Zomes Type
ZomesPod (14-foot diameter, ~3 tons) and ZomesOffice (16-foot diameter, ~3 tons)
Posts: Use pressure-treated 6×6 posts. Set these posts in concrete footings to a
depth of at least 24 inches.
4
Beams: Use 2×10 or 2×12 beams depending on local load requirements. Ensure
that beams are securely attached to the posts using metal brackets or specialized
post-beam connectors.
Installation:
Place posts at approximately 2-foot intervals along the perimeter.
Use a level and plumb line to ensure each post is vertical.
Once all posts are set, install horizontal beams along the top. Verify that the
beam layout forms a level ring that will support your structure’s foundation.
Zomestudio (20-foot diameter, ~4 tons)
Posts: For the heavier load, upgrade to pressure-treated 8×8 posts or reinforced 6×6
posts (if local codes allow) to provide extra stability. Set in concrete footings as
described.
Beams: Consider using 2×12 beams (or engineered lumber if preferred) to support
the increased load.
Installation:
Again, install posts no more than 2 feet apart along the full perimeter.
Ensure all posts and beams are level, secure, and adequately braced during
the curing period for the concrete.
Additional Tips
Anchoring: Use metal post anchors to improve the connection between posts and
their concrete footings.
Bracing: Temporarily brace posts and beams during installation to ensure long-term
stability.
Local Codes: Always check with local building codes for any specific requirements
related to post depth, spacing, or material treatment.

Option 2: Compacted Gravel Base Foundation
General Guidelines
Site Preparation: Ensure the site is as level as possible. Remove vegetation and
topsoil from the footprint of the Zomes.
Excavation: Excavate to a depth of about 4–6 inches to accommodate the gravel
layer. Ensure that the edges are slightly graded to promote water runoff.
Gravel Installation
Materials
Gravel Type: Use crushed stone or “3/4” minus” gravel that compacts well. This
material provides excellent drainage and stability.
Optional Top Layer: After the main gravel is compacted, you can add a 1–2 inch
layer of finer material (such as stone dust or sand) to create a smoother, level
surface for the foundation.
Drainage: In areas prone to heavy rainfall or poor natural drainage, consider
installing a French drain around the perimeter of the Zomes foundation. A typical
French drain consists of a trench (approximately 6 inches wide and 18 inches deep)
lined with filter fabric, filled with additional gravel, and fitted with a perforated
drainage pipe. This ensures water is directed away from your structure.
Compaction
Equipment: Use a mechanical plate compactor to thoroughly compact the gravel.
Make multiple passes until the surface is uniformly firm.
Thickness: Aim for a minimum gravel layer of 4–6 inches, which should be
compacted in layers no thicker than 2 inches at a time.
6
Edge Treatment: Compact the gravel all the way to the edges of the foundation,
ensuring there are no soft spots that could lead to settling.Final Leveling with Sand
(Optional)
Sand Layer
After compacting the main gravel layer, you can create a perfectly flat and level surface by
adding a thin layer of fine sand or stone dust.
1. Screed Pipes: Lay two parallel, straight metal pipes (e.g., 1-inch diameter electrical
conduit) directly on the compacted gravel. These pipes will serve as guides for your
screed board.
2. Laser Level: Use a laser level to ensure the tops of both screed pipes are perfectly
level with each other and at the desired final height for your foundation. Adjust the
pipes as necessary.
3. Apply Sand: Spread a 1–2 inch layer of fine sand or stone dust over the gravel,
ensuring it completely covers the area between the screed pipes.
4. Screed: Using a long, straight board (a "screed board"), pull the board across the
tops of the metal pipes. This action will shave off the excess sand, leaving a perfectly
flat and level surface.
5. Remove and Fill: Carefully remove the metal pipes and fill the resulting channels
with sand, using a trowel or the edge of the screed board. Do not compact this final
layer of sand. The foundation blocks will settle onto this layer, ensuring a stable, level
base.

Material Estimates by Zomes Type
Calculate the volume of gravel needed based on the circular area and desired depth
(remember: 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet).
ZomesPod (14-ft diameter):
Area: Approximately 154 square feet (π × 7²).
Gravel Volume: At 6 inches (0.5 ft) thick → 154 × 0.5 ≈ 77 cubic feet (~2.9
cubic yards). Allow extra for compaction and spillage—plan on about 3 cubic
yards.
ZomesOffice (16-ft diameter):
Area: Approximately 201 square feet (π × 8²).
Gravel Volume: 201 × 0.5 ≈ 100.5 cubic feet (~3.7 cubic yards). Rounding
up, plan on about 4 cubic yards.
Zomestudio (20-ft diameter):
7
Area: Approximately 314 square feet (π × 10²).
Gravel Volume: 314 × 0.5 ≈ 157 cubic feet (~5.8 cubic yards). It’s wise to
order around 6 cubic yards.
Vapor Barrier and Moisture Control
A vapor barrier is a critical component of any foundation to prevent moisture from migrating
up from the ground, which can lead to mold, mildew, and damage to the structure.
Incorporating a vapor barrier is highly recommended for all Zomes foundation types to
ensure long-term structural integrity and a healthy interior environment.
General Guidelines
Material: Use a high-quality, 6-mil or greater polyethylene plastic sheeting (vapor
barrier).
Sealing: Ensure all seams and penetrations (e.g., utility lines) are overlapped by at
least 6-12 inches and sealed with a specialized vapor barrier tape to create an
airtight and watertight seal.
Specific to Foundation Types
For Compacted Gravel Base:
Installation: Lay the vapor barrier over the entire compacted gravel base.
Perimeter: Run the sheeting up the vertical perimeter of the foundation and
secure it so it can be integrated with the wall panels later, creating a
continuous moisture break.
For Post and Beam Foundation (Crawl Space):
Installation: Lay the barrier across the ground within the crawl space.
Overlap and seal seams as described in the general guidelines.
Considerations: Ensure that the crawl space has adequate ventilation as
required by local codes, or consider a fully sealed (encapsulated) crawl space
system for superior moisture control.
Additional Considerations
Slope and Drainage: Grade the gravel base so that water drains away from the
structure. A slight crown (higher in the center) helps ensure runoff.
French Drain: If drainage is a concern, install a French drain around the perimeter.
This is especially important in low-lying or high-rainfall areas.
Compaction Check: After compaction, test the firmness of the gravel by walking
over it. There should be minimal movement underfoot.
By following these detailed guidelines for either the post and beam or the gravel base
foundation, you’ll ensure that your Zomes is built on a stable, durable base tailored to your
specific site conditions. Always refer to local building codes and consider consulting a
professional engineer when making structural decisions.

Position of Zomes
To ensure a secure foundation, the first step is to accurately locate the center position of the
Zome and mark it so that the placement does not shift.
Procedure for Locating the Center:
1. Estimate the Center: Place a heavy object with a rope attached at the estimated
center of the Zome area.
2. Determine Rope Length: Measure the rope to half the diameter of your specific
Zome model:
Pod: 7 ft
Office: 8 ft
Studio: 10 ft
3. Establish the Perimeter: Take the free end of the rope, straighten it, and walk a
circle around the center point.
4. Verify Placement: As you walk the circle, ensure you remain within the defined
gravel area.
5. Adjust the Center:
If you walk out of the gravel area, the center mark is too close to you (away
from the true center). Stop, walk towards the center point, and move the
center marker away from you.
Continue this process until you can walk the full circle (half-diameter radius)
entirely within the gravel.
6. Mark the Center: Once the center is accurately located, mark the spot using spray
paint or another suitable method.
17
Door Facing Direction: Before assembling the Zomes, you must decide which
direction the door will face.
General information
Before beginning assembly, thoroughly read and understand the panel-locking
mechanism, as it is utilized throughout the entire Zomes structure. Failure to properly
engage a lock will result in loose joints between panels, which could lead to structural
failure.
Panel sides: Always orient the panel sides containing latch access holes toward the
interior of the Zomes structure.
18
Rotation Direction for Latches: Clockwise and counterclockwise are the terms
used to specify the direction of rotation.
Clockwise Counterclockwise
Groove and Tongue: These are basic features of panels to form a locking
mechanism. The tongue sticks out and mates with groove and limited movement
between panels on all directions
Groove Tougue
19
Lock hook drive: To engage the latch hook, insert an 8mm hexagonal wrench into
the latch access hole to a minimum depth of 2.5 inches. This ensures the wrench is
fully engaged with the latch hole. Once engaged, turn the wrench clockwise or
counterclockwise to drive the latch hook. For guidance during panel installation, it is
recommended to consult Appendix I, which illustrates all panel latch lock directions.
Zomes panels are joined using a coffin lock system. The following steps illustrate the
process, using a clockwise rotation as the example:
1. Engagement: The hook of the male latch rotates clockwise to make contact with the
pin of the female latch.
2. The male latch's rotation is halted when its hook catches the female latch's pin. However,
the male lock's cam continues to rotate, moving the lock downward until its slot engages the
male latch's pin. This further rotation secures the latch in the locked position.
More information please refer to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMgY47yQwh0
20
Minimum Manpower: Minimum manpower for assembly of Zomes is two (2) persons.
Vacuum lifter usage: Read the manual of the lifter carefully before using it.
Panel Lock Operation: The male lock latch rotates smoothly and easily at the start of the
locking process. This smooth rotation continues until it engages with the female latch pin of
the adjacent panel.
Panel Left (female latch) Panel right (male latch)
When locking two panels, rotate the wrench to move the left panel toward the right panel.
This movement will create a firm, complete lock. A slight shift in the panel's position indicates
that the wrench is engaging.
Panel Left (female latch) Panel right (male latch)
Panel and Hole Labels
For instructional clarity, labels are used in this manual. Note that these labels do not appear
on the actual product. For example, the image illustrates the latch access hole on Panel
for a specific operation.
Inspect Male Latch Position Before Panel Installation
21
Before assembling the panels, confirm the position of the latch hooks. All latch hooks must
be fully inside the latch slot and NOT sticking out, as this will complicate the installation
process. If a latch hook is sticking out, insert an 8mm hexagonal wrench into the latch
access hole and rotate it back into the latch slot.
Important: Never stand on the panel while operating the latch lock.

The side with fiber cement board
is facing outside, and the side
with foam (letter G) is facing
inside.
It will need one person to hold
the panel in position and another
person to lock the latches from
inside
3
It is recommended to have a
stable platform with a 1.5 m
length, 0.75 m width, and 1.5
mm height to stand on. This will
allow one person to hold the
panel with two vacuum lifters and
another person to lock the panel
in position.
321
5
Apply adhesive on the surface of
the STU-G-STD tongue.
Make sure the adhesive covers
the entire surface, and avoid
adhesive entering the latch area.

Connecting the Zomes to Electricity
7.1 Overview
Your Zomes only needs modest power—LED lighting, smart-film windows, five 120 V receptacles, and
either a portable heater or a portable air-conditioner (never both).
The cleanest, future-proof way to deliver that power with one underground run and no sub-panel is
a 20-amp Multi-Wire Branch Circuit (MWBC). This gives you two independent 120 V, 20 A circuits
inside a single cable, so high-draw appliances stay on their own leg while lights and outlets share the
other.
If you are certain you will never exceed 20 A total and prefer absolute simplicity, you may instead run
a single 20 A circuit on 12-2 UF-B; see § 7.9 for that minimalist option. The MWBC remains our main
recommendation because it offers twice the usable capacity for only a few extra dollars in wire and
one additional breaker handle.

Assorted boxes, staples, wirenuts, pigtails, and labels
7.4 Step-by-Step Installation
7.4.1 At the Main Service Panel
1. De-energize the panel, verify with a meter.
2. Install the 2-pole 20 A GFCI breaker.
3. Land conductors: black → HOT-A, red → HOT-B, white → neutral bar, bare/green →
ground bar.
4. Label: “Zomes MWBC – shut both handles”.
7.4.2 Underground Run
1. Drill or punch a ¾ in. knockout, install a PVC male adapter, seal with duct seal.
2. UF-B: direct-bury 12 in. deep (18 in. if local AHJ insists).
Conduit: glue PVC, maintain 18 in. cover.
3. Lay warning tape 6 in. above the cable/conduit.
4. Back-fill, tamp lightly.
7.4.3 Shed Entry & Disconnect
1. Rise into a PVC LB or weather-tight box on the Zomes wall.
2. Bond any metal raceway.
3. Terminate into a 2-pole 20 A disconnect mounted just inside the door (or outside if
preferred). This is your required “readily accessible” building shut-off.
7.4.4 Interior Branching
334
Leg A (black) → switch loop → LED fixtures → smart-film controller.
Leg B (red) → first receptacle (can be standard because upstream GFCI breaker already
protects) → remaining receptacles → dedicated heater/AC receptacle.
At every box on an MWBC: pigtail the neutral (never rely on device yokes to carry shared
neutral).
All receptacles: tamper resistant, marked “GFCI protected”.
7.5 Testing & Commissioning
1. Energize breaker; verify 120 V black-to-white and red-to-white, 240 V black-to-red.
2. Trip the GFCI; ensure both legs lose power.
3. Plug in a 1,500 W space heater: confirm ≤ 12.5 A draw on Leg B.
4. Check lighting flicker with heater running (should be none).
5. Label inside disconnect cover with circuit map.
7.6 Inspection Tips
Keep burial-depth photos for the inspector.
Have cable markings visible at LB or panel to prove conductor size/type.
Staple UF within 8 in. of every box, same as NM-B.
Provide manufacturer spec sheets for smart-film if questioned (very low current).
7.7 Safety Reminders
Shut off power and verify every time you open a box.
MWBC neutrals carry the difference of the two hot currents; over-current is almost
impossible when both legs stay on a tied breaker.
A licensed electrician or your local building department can clarify local amendments (some
jurisdictions still require ground rods for any detached structure—ask first).
