I'm part way through building mine. Quite fast once you've built the jigs, I've spent a week on it so far and built all the pentagon triangles. I expect it will take 3 weeks in total for it to be complete. I'm doing the 6m GD27 using 3"x2" treated timber. It's good fun and I highly recommend it to anyone who has the space for one. A bit laborious but not hard at all, anyone could build one.

I am planning on building a greenhouse and am unsure on whether to build a poly tunnel, stick-built with window panes, or a grow dome. I like the geodesic dome structures and can see potential in utilizing the vertical space for tall vining plants. I like the idea of having an area in the greenhouse to sit at a table while dinning on salads and drinking wine.

Well done! I imagine you may even be able to replace damaged triangular sections of the poly if that becomes necessary, but I believe your prediction is correct - you'll enjoy that dome for years to come, naysayers can go build their own.
@JohnGuest454 жыл бұрын
The poly is wrapped around the edge of the triangle and stapled so you`ll have to remove the triangle before you can remove the staples ;) This construction method is also prone to leak where adjacent triangles meet and also at the vertices. Tape is appled over the joints as a fix but its not a reliable long term solution to what is really a design issue...

Regarding the base...I had limiting space and needed to have two access points (doors) as the dome is situated between the house and our log cabin in the back of the garden. The base made that possible as it lifted the dome by about 3foot. It also makes the inside interestingly spacious. Good luck with your build. F
