Building The 22' Terra Ekodome Frame

[@futurebubble6572]

Love it!!

[@garygary4856]

Very cool and well done. The ladder on top of a table looks kinda sketch though 😂

[@boyeg6]

I like the joints of your dome. It's very strong.

[@Hillwatch]

All joking aside well done!

[@derphyn]

Umm....Bucky Fuller would build his domes from the top down using a central mast and halyard to lift the top higher and higher as struts were added from the bottom at ground level - MUCH safer and faster than what was portrayed.

[@middleway1885]

Lol~ That was Fantastic!! Great Job!!! How was the exercise... The ladder ontop of table was a bit much for my heights comfortability... lol, glad you made it out safely! Cheers!!

[@markhorton9570]

Now do it with the big one, add the second floor, and install the wall panels!

[@Ekodome]

Hi Mark, We will install Stellar and Cosmos as well. Unfortunately, we won't have time to cover all of the frames and add the second floor. We are busy with packaging. The loft area is also something our customers will customize, and the options are also endless.

[@audigit]

Slightly larger would add height, and setting it on a wall panel section would add height. Still, some losses to angles to height makes unusable spaces, except for odd storage or insulation. I would go for insulation...

'Thanks for doing that demo, can you take it down now? Got a customer waiting to buy it'

Hello guys, shat is the difference between the aluminum material used and the wood?

[@OnerousEthic]

Why are you not assembling it in modules and then sticking them together?

[@freebirdw6187]

So what is supposed to make this hurricane proof? What materials would cover it and how would it anchor to the ground? Looks like a giant hurricane frisbee to me

[@Ekodome]

Hi Arlyn, You can cover the frame with any solid material. The hub system, struts, and all metal caps give it ultimate strength. Cover panels add up the strength. Please check Ekodome.com for more details.

How much

[@audigit]

A viable solution to inexpensive and TOUGH housing. Interesting

[@franklyngrant3989]

V4???

[@sampowell8472]

So, obvious question: why not start with the top panel and lift the structure as you build? Use a sissor lift? They have outriggers for leveling.

[@Ekodome]

Hi Sam. That is something we tried before. It is very convenient, especially when you build higher frames like STELLAR and COSMOS. TERRA doesn't need that. The critical thing while lifting the frame is to hang the dome from the hubs at the edges once you add each row not to bend/strain the structure.

[@lemondealc]

I build my domes starting at the top, and I don't even need a crane.

[@id104335409]

Why do people keep calling them hurricane resistant? A hurricane would obviously demolish it just as easy as a wooden house. Only concrete buildings can survive strong hurricane/tornado forces.

[@Ekodome]

@@lemondealc If you are building a high frame that weighs a ton, you will need something to lift the frame for you :)))

[@brettymike]

@@lemondealc They must be toy domes you are building!

[@samspade7522]

Where Was OSHA when he had the ladder on a table and working ?

[@Hillwatch]

That’s what I was thinking.. Me Calling out: OOOOSHAAAA…..hey *OOOOSHAAAA*

[@briandonnelly8464]

what wind spped is it rated too

[@EnFuego79]

I'm gonna guess figuring out how to cover up the fact that they countermanded their own "safety" recommendations for political purposes regarding the danger of constant mask wearing proving, as anyone who has any basic education in logic, morals and ethics, that anyone trying to impose "safety" on a grown adult "for their own good" is a violation of basic human rights, and implies servitutde to bureacracy. But hey, facts have never stopped collectivists before, why stop now? Muh OSHAAAAAAAA!

He was snoozing in his airconditioned office on his bum, too scared/lazy to go outside.

[@McCamerCoach]

Nice I would have to do alone. Side walk engineers would be plenty. Some would consider me a circus. So alone for me 2 days 12 hours?

[@McCamerCoach]

My plans would be to use as a green house and a 3 season work area

[@vaughnblaylock6069]

Do you guys sell the covers for these?

[@Ekodome]

Not now, but soon we will introduce a 3rd party company's services.

[@littledaemon001]

@@Ekodome ​ Do you have any you can recommend? I am building out the cost of an off-grid dome setup and would like to know how much the cover would cost for a 3V.

[@lemondealc]

@@Ekodome how much will you charge for the covers?

[@lemondealc]

@@littledaemon001 you should check out my dome design.

[@Ekodome]

@@littledaemon001 please check our store for the cover options. We will include new materials soon.

[@mehmet1556]

Porfect

[@gregorytzar]

You know what would be awesome? Panels. I have not yet seen a single (non computer animation) video or photo with panels, just empty frames.

[@Ekodome]

Hi Greg. In a few days, we will upload another video showing how the panels are installed. But please note that we won't cover any dome with specific panels since the possibilities are endless.

[@gregorytzar]

​@@Ekodome I absolutely love the frame design of these domes, and the idea of it being used to create a complete structure like a dwelling with different kinds of materials as panels. Has a livable structure actually been built this way yet? Currently it seems that is still just in the realm of ideas though, because I imagine if you had built a structure with panels already you would have at least taken a photo right?

[@Hillwatch]

[@Hillwatch]

I don’t think anyone has done anything with ekodome yet; however.

[@Ekodome]

@@gregorytzar Aha! We realized that you started following us recently. You are right; there is no other frame installed yet since Ekodome is a new company developing a new dome frame design for the last two years. The first 200 dome frames of the early supporters are being packed now for shipping. Soon you will see them all over the world :)

[@brettmoore3194]

Well I was interested until I saw the price tags. Guess these are for the leftovers after the great reset

[@frankfarago2825]

Guy is doing it all alone. Then comes the DIRE WARNING: "DO NOT TRY THIS ALONE, IT'S DANGEROUS!" WTF?

[@Survivalguy]

You all are wasting tour money buying these. Hard to heat unless you live over a volcano. The shape is less than idea for max production. So many reason.

[@coryseaward975]

$80000 for a 30’ dome… Baaaahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha These fools are out of their god damn minds..
