Dome

  • 20' 3V, 3/8 dome
  • Important Start constructing at the top and work your way down and around. If you try to do too much at once it's harder and you just work against yourself (more than usual).

Also Important Do not tighten the nuts right away. You want some wiggle room in the nuts as you're building. Go around and tighten your nuts once the dome is erect.

  • There's a grey carpet that goes in the dome. Easiest thing to do is lay it out and build on top of it.
  • There are three lenghts of conduit for the dome
    • Yelow - shortest - makes up the center spokes of the pentagon shapes
    • Red - longest - makes up the center spokes of the hexagon shapes
    • Blue - merely average - make up the edges of both shapes
  • The easiest way to think about the dome construction is in the shapes that make up the dome. Pentagons and hexagons
  • The top is a pentagon (5 yellow pieces of conduit surrounded by 5 blue pieces)
  • Sharing each edge of the pentagon is a hexagon
  • In between the bottoms of the hexagons is the peak of a pentagon
  • Once again, each edge of the pentagon is shared with a hexagon
  • The bottom layer of the dome alternates between the bottom of a full hexagon and the top half of a hexagon
  • Once complete, decide where the front and back doors will be. Remove the blue pieces of conduit to make doors

Dome Cover

  • The dome cover is the large, unwieldy piece of billboard vinyl. (for the movie 'Tortilla Heaven' if you must know) Unfold it next to the dome.
  • Rotate it so the doors will line up after you pull the cover on
  • Get everyone you know to help pull the cover over the dome. Put some people on the inside to help push it up and over the pointy bits.
  • Once it's on, use a rope to close the seam. There are grommets for this very thing
  • There should be a decent hole at the top of the dome so hot air can escape
  • Tuck loose covering under the dome
  • Place 5 or 6 pieced of rebar candy canes around the base of the dome so it doesn't take off
