![]() In March, when the snow was mostly gone, and early April, attached those triangles to the foundation and to each other. Last October and November, while concrete was still workable, foundation was put (twenty 6-ft treated 4x4s with twenty "landscape timbers" laid on top.)ĭuring the winter, cut 82 or so triangles, which took about 350 2x2 "furring strips". ![]() If I started the whole thing now, I would probably resort to spherical design with hubs, and check all dimensions with my own calculations. In particular, what was supposed to be a high point in the middle somehow turned to be a low point, and I will probably need to support it with a pillar before it collapses under snow. Paul appears to know his stuff well, but I didn't get much luck getting a response from him there were a few ambiguities in this experimental design (it's my understanding that Paul hasn't built this particular model himself yet,)Īnd I probably did more that a few things wrong, cutting corners figuratively and literally. ![]() I have constructed a proof-of-concept dome last year, and decided it's better to use a proven design.
