Geodesic Dome Complex

My first bigger commissioned project involving Geodesic domes, that serve as a children's park in the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana. It consists of 4 domes, three of them are linked together. Sizes are, 4,8m, two times 7m and a 9,5m diameter dome.

Awesome! What plastic have you used to cover?

@germaineludik Thank you, I used UV stabilized greenhouse PVC. And then over the seams a PVC tape that heat bonds to the PVC, no leaks so far.

Very nice. I'm very interested in the bracing technique on the doors and entrances. Do you have any references for constructing them?

[puggsley6]

@kevinclevenger I don't have plans for that, we did it on site, did the measurement and construct it. It was a last minute mod, since we realized we need wind catchers. As you can see it's just a tunnel fitted into the opening of the dome. But it had to be heavily braced along the doors the to hold the dome up.

It looks awesome! Keep of the great work.

Do you have any recommendations for the best resources on how to frame a dome? I'd love to build a dome greenhouse some day.

@jarviskj Thank you.

Most info is found on geodome |dot| co |dot| uk and some calculations available at acidome |dot| ru/lab/calc.

I did a lot of calculations alone, but the sites above helped a great deal. I suggest making smaller models first.
