I'm using small, tuff-plastic roller wheels from Bunnings rated at 40kg each. I took the weight of the completed dome, divided it by 40 and bought the appropriate number of wheels, plus added a few extra for over-engineering's sake.

So the dome sits on these vertical wheels and is guided by four, heavy-duty horizontal wheels with bearings to stop it rolling off the side.
