Domes

[@jimstewart5008]

I been looking for a way to build one using only lumber great idea I would love to build that exact model. I will have to check to see if we are able to build them in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

[@Smooj]

The way Peru looks, with just straight dirt for the ground and no grass or anything growing in it blows my mind.

[@joel6427]

The frame of a dome is the quick part, but covering one is another story, and making sure the dome doesn't leak is another. Most people will not know how to cut the parts and make the cuts precise enough without a considerable amount of education, although the number of online dome calculators has greatly reduced this roadblock. Domes are more labor intensive, overall more expensive to build, and harder to sell because most people have a square box mentality.

[@gregorybowden4460]

One of my favorite videos about domes. Where is the plans book or info on building one?

[@hopechannelcat5462]

very impressed with the vision of mr. lassiter. i was wondering if he sold plans on how to make the wooden hubs/frames?

[@gardensandmore1614]

Like the design and the hub idea. I have seen this concept used in a model kit for the desktop and the way the struts are placed looks to take advantage of the best arrangement for strength. This video is 11 years old, so I am wondering how the business has progressed and if plans, or a kit if available? Looked at the channel and didn't see anything more about the dome system, or another video about it.

i built a dome made that way 30ft diameter 3 frequency 5/8 sphere 4 ft base wall i tore it down when county i lived in wanted to charge a lot for property tax it was 2 story and full basement i used the dome building handbook for formulas only spent $1500 on frame and plywood and 8 squares of shingles

[@caelrock]

Do you still have plans for this? Or where to find them? I am interested in his design using these materials (using wood for the corners and how to cut angles for the struts etc)

Congratulation to have been done marvelous things in my country. I would like to do this in my city. Could you give me more information about it?

[@markouellette8973]

I don't suppose there are scalable plans available? The Hexagonal joint pieces are straightforward, I'm more curios about lengths and angles for the end cuts on the structural members.

[@Khamomil]

That's the first assembly that I like. No metal! After watching geodoes on YT for quite some time it's a relief to find this clever concept. Darwin Domes you bet.

[@lemondealc]

You should check out my hub and strut design. I've been building geodesic domes from PVC and HDPE for about three years now. Cheers!

[@TheRebelmanone]

Paul Robison builds domes with no metal hubs on you tube, but his designs are for smaller domes for greenhouses, etc... not homes. But you can just scale the materials up to 2x6, and make the cuts, angles, and bevels needed to piece together a home worthy geo-dome. IT is pure wood struts all the way to the very center of the hub, with no hubs, it is primum design very similar to how how Buckminster Fuller had his own home dome built. The struts run all the way into the center of where the hubs would be. The hub design was not the best way to build the strongest dome, that was only introduced by people who wanted to make a dome but didn't want to have to deal with all those angles and bevel cuts on the struts to make a REAL geo-dome. For people who suck at geometry.

[@GregJoshuaW]

I know I am late to this party, but I am wondering if you could build such a dome halfway submerged in the Earth similar to a Hobbit house? I imagine a 2-3 story structure with the 1st level being completely submerged like a basement and the 2nd and possibly 3rd stories being above ground?

[@Mr850man]

Yes you can

[@GregJoshuaW]

I would love to see one of these in action. I've seen many cases where water/moisture is a big issue in submerged livable basements... Do you know how to deal with that?

[@Mr850man]

@@GregJoshuaW Look up "dome shaped underground home" here in youtube. They made it out of concrete.

[@AlbertaGeek]

@@GregJoshuaW Hi. I don't know where you live, but hereabouts, basements are no big deal. You dig the hole, you see to the drainage, you pour the forms, you keep building up. Finished and livable basement suites are as common as the dirt that surrounds them. Though depending on the land, a sump pump might be prudent.

[@johnrogan9420]

inspiring concept, thank you! I wonder what kind of coverage has been used. I would build it if wooden shingles are possible and not too heavy. Could I get an answer?

You can go light - we’ve done bamboo. It’s all a question of how you phrase the joints.

Been thinking of putting one in Davao. Same thinking with Clayton in the comment. Round structure with lightweight struts supporting one another would be more earthquake proof than rectangular structures. Paul, would you mind sharing some guidelines on the cuts to the struts to insert the wooden hubs?

[@mihaiilie8808]

instructions are easy.You go at any dome calculator on the internet and you get the lengths and the angles of each strut.For this design you have to cut the angles into the struts and also to shorten the struts a little so that you replace those cuts with the size of the hubs.Domes made with hubs like this one are easy to make.
