  • shut up, I Wanna live inside that thing!!!

  • i don't think that conduit has a thick enough wall to be used for a jungle gym...prehaps for very small children ..although as a frame for a greenhouse...covering it with plastic and zip ties would be simple and cheap...or cover it with chicken wire for a mobile chicken coop or protecting a small garden from birds....

  • Brilliant. You showed us the formula. I dont think ppl get it though. Hahaha nice job. I will "incorporate" this on a "larger scale"......

  • You guys were nowhere near a desert- shenanigans!

  • How did you protect the joints so kids are not hurt? I think to build one of these.

  • Oh ... ooops ... guess I missed the first ten seconds !!! ... sorry 'bout that.

  • Inspiring, at best ... self-agrandizing, at worst.

    Glad this project worked out to your own gratification but, this vid does nothing to inform us of how to exploit or execute this particular design.

    ... In short, for me, this is little more than a tease. ... Low-tech, low-cost methods of doing domes and instructions, specifications, parts-lists ... tips ... tricks ... yeah ... "all that" would be a bit more helpful and useful ... I'm just sayin' ... Cudos ... Glad it woked out (for YOU).

  • chicken tractor.... or setting up an aquaponics system inside using an underground pond with an ebb and flow table to grow veggies and fish... all under a 50 dollar geodesic dome... that would be sick

  • Where's the door?!

  • Spiderman loves these Domes! He was on top in case you missed him.

  • @fukfear69 Strength is in the structure, whole is greater then sum of the parts.

  • @Rhinoch8 loser
