Hello, I would like to build a geodesic dome to use as a pergola in my garden. I live in an area where there is a lot of wind, the dome stays in place all year round. Will it be wind resistant enough up to 60 km per hour? Thank you
Can you recommend skin for a dome shelter that needs insulation? In snow country. Thanks. Needs to be waterproof in the Pacific Northwest.
Here is a video on using waterproof latex cement for covering the dome: ua-cam.com/video/4q-vnElQXCk/v-deo.htmlsi=jtiqCSPq5yPQF0aq And a customer review, with links at the bottom of the web page: www.ziptiedomes.com/customers/lenabach.htm John
Thank you so much, I made my first dome yesterday using your calculator and design. Now i want to make this tunnel dome for my hens.❤
Let me know if I can help. www.ziptiedomes.com/contactus.htm John
Is it possible to make a lean-to greenhouse using half of a dome?
You would have to use an Octahedron dome desgin, that can be cut in half. It is a little different, and I don't have any Octahedron domes for sale at this time. But yes, it is possible. John
nice dome, but how to add door or comings to get inside ?
Here are some examples of how to add a standard doorway: www.ziptiedomes.com/customers/kimpoppel.htm www.ziptiedomes.com/customers/bobtullis.htm www.ziptiedomes.com/customers/dougsikora.htm You can also make a diamond shaped door: www.ziptiedomes.com/customers/billlamerdin.htm If you have questions, please contact me at this link: www.ziptiedomes.com/contactus.htm
I purchased the hubs-only kit for a 2V dome and have built and rebuilt it a few times. It is currently built and waiting for more funds before I skin it (so to speak). I may have to disassemble and rebuild one more time as its current location is on a slope. Less than ideal. Here in NM USA, I can build a structure and not be taxed on it if I build it on skids. So I will level the ground, build a skid-able floor and then place (or rebuild) the dome on top. Once situated, I want to skin it with a ferro-cement layer, add an insulation layer, and finally an outer ferro-cement layer. Hopefully, I will be able to recover the pipes afterwards. We shall see. Maybe by this time next year I will have the task completed. If all works well, I hope to then buy a 4V Hub-only kit so I can build another but a good bit larger. Here's hoping that you continue to stay in business until then and way beyond. Thank you for all your efforts and information. I'm really glad that you repost this info occasionally.
Thank you so much for your comments, it really made my day.

Do you make the hubs out of metal for the conduit geo dome ?
I did one time, but I have a hard time finding 4" EMT conduit for making the hubs. If you make them out of steel pipe, they are too heavy and very expensive. Here is a customer review that used our standard PVC hubs and EMT conduit struts: www.ziptiedomes.com/customers/johnthompson.htm John
That looks really interesting, how can I give this dome stability so that it doesn't wobble when I move it. I'm also thinking about giving my raised beds an insect protection roof. This should be able to be opened on hinges. So that it can be closed flush again, it must not be so movable. Thanks again for sharing this great idea!
The dome will conform to the ground beneath it as it flexes. This makes it very stable. And when you move it, it doesn't wobble so much as it slides over the ground. For raised beds, we include two extra struts for a swing door that lets you get in and out of the dome. When the season is over, the dome is very lightweight and can be picked up by 3 people and moved. I hope this information is helpful. Thanks. John Hurt
I finally get this after watching your video. Thanks a million!
Thank you for your comment. It is great to hear when people appreciate what you have done. Have a great day. John Hurt
oh man rebar for a concrete dome is a gamechanger!
Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt
1. Wood isn’t that hard to use. A mitre saw isn’t super expensive and quite a few people have them. You don’t need a compound mitre saw for this. Wood flips easily to make cuts 😉. 2. The people who watched it “rot” before their eyes, likely didn’t use treated wood. It’s a damp, moist structure that is outdoors. The wood needs to be treated.
That is a good observation. I couldn't make the pointed tips on the wood struts, down to the millimeter in length, to get a good fit. That takes a lot of talent with woodworking tools. And if all you have is a hand saw, then I think it would be impossible. You might could do it with a chop saw, but I wouldn't want to try. Wood will last longer with preservative or paint, but it is always a battle. That is why vinyl siding has replaced wood siding. If wood is exposed to moisture, if it does not rot, it will warp or crack. I have had problems with carpenter bees on my wood deck. A lot of people use plastic planks for decking instead of wood, as plastic lasts forever. But yes, if you treat wood, it will last a lot longer. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

Instead of cement for a small project, what about "Poor man's fiberglass"? Canvas painted with Titebond glue, then a finish coat of paint.
That is a great idea. I will have to do some research. thanks for watching the video. John Hurt
"I didn't get good video of this because I was afraid of getting white paint all over my camera." LOL! At least you're honest!!
It was a mess. It ruined my clothes. I took a shower, new clothes, and I still got white paint specks inside my black truck. What a nightmare. So if you don't use Sika Latex, and use White latex paint instead, I hope your clothes, car, and house are all painted white, because if not, they will be painted that way.

I bet that in the US right now would cost you $600 in PVC pipe
You are correct. It used to cost $365 for a 16' 2v dome before Jan 20, 2021, now it costs $615 for the same dome because someone shut down the oil pipelines, and PVC is made from oil. I really hope we get some type of government that does more than make the oil companies rich, like helping people that want to grow food for themselves in a small greenhouse. Thanks for your comments. John Hurt
Yep!!!
Greenhouse with PVC fittings is a bad idea. The poly covering will meld with the PVC tubing over time in direct sunlight. This weakens the poly and make it prone to rips. Add to that that sunlight makes PVC brittle over time, which can lead to failure in a wind storm. Perhaps you can use 17 gauge 1 5/8 tubing (chainlink top rail), but even then the edges of the round connectors will rip the plastic eventually. Another question I would have is how to uniformly attach the plastic to the structure Have you thought about using channel locks and wiggle wire to attach the poly to the frame? Right now, I don't see any ground anchors, and the square tarps don't drape well over the structure. One good stiff wind storm and all that hard work will be in the neighbor's yard. I'm not trying to be a troll here, I have several poly hoophouses on my farm and I'm a Fuller fan. I played around with geodesics when I started, but I couldn't find practical solutions to the challenges they present. Love to hear your ideas..
Thanks for your comments. In our Assembly Manual, we tell the customer to paint the PVC with white latex acrylic paint, or cover the PVC where it touches the plastic with clear tape. Painting the PVC helps with the UV problem and keeps the PVC from outgassing chlorine which degrades the plastic. We have a Dual Covering Hub that allows you to attach the plastic to the hubs using zip ties, on both the inside and outside of the dome for better insulation. We recommend that you use rebar stakes and drive them through the holes on the bottom of the hubs that rest on the ground to serve as a ground anchor. Thank you for your comments. John Hurt
The hubs rough edes will cut the poly
In our instructions, we tell you to cover the hubs with clear tape so they won't hurt the poly. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt
Locking collars...cone of silence from Get Smart tv show!

Octahedrons are perfect for this style of elongated dome. With that said I donlike the idea of tilting the top pentagon off top dead center
That is an interesting concept. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt
I have one -- it's wonderful
Thanks for being our customer. John Hurt
Fantastic explanation!
Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt
Why not use a hole saw cutter? The Forstner bit seems unnecessary for this process.
I used a hole saw on my very first dome. I had to take the blanks out of the center of the hole saw each time I drilled a hole. A hole saw works well for a power hand drill. A forstner bit works better for a drill press. Thanks for watching the video. John
About the rotten Wood, it might me a solution to do the plastic-layer INSIDE with some distance. So making the binding-circle, bit higher?
That might be a better solution. Thanks for watching the video. John
@@ZipTieDomes Bad Side of my Idea, plastic-layer INSIDE ist worse against Wind and water. Water could connect there becomes to much weight...
I absolutely love this, I have a lot of pvc pipe left from old sprinklers and lots of bamboo ,so I'll try both
Thanks for watching the video. John
Is there a kit that includes the extension? Also is there a door frame kit?
We don't have a kit for sale at this time. We will have the Tunnel Dome plans for sale later this week. The doorway can be built like this customer review: www.ziptiedomes.com/customers/dougsikora.htm Please look at our customer reviews for other doorway ideas. Thanks, John
So what you're saying is, you drilled a smaller hole. Thank you!
Yes, we drill a different size hole for every strut diameter, and for every dome frequency, to create the correct angles for building all of the different dome frequencies. If you don't use the correct bit to drill the correct size hole, then the dome will either be too tight to put together, or it will wobble and won't be strong. Thanks for watching.. John
Clever concept. Respect. But I never understood how to make a cover for such a curved structure. The cover material is flat, the dome curved. How does it work? I am thinking of a greenhouse... Another question I would like to know, how long would the PVC pipe last in a very high UV exposure. Any hints welcome. Thanks.
We have two methods of attaching the greenhouse film to the dome, which uses the folds and pleats of the film to help attach to the dome: Dual Covering Hubs www.ziptiedomes.com/video/coveringsvideo.htm Standard Hubs with Test Caps: www.ziptiedomes.com/video/coveringtestcaps.htm Here is our FAQ answer for UV degradation of PVC pipe, with a link to the US Plastics Corporation: www.ziptiedomes.com/faq/PVC-and-UV-Degradation.htm Thanks, John

I remember when I was younger, I would make paper macher masks out of flour, water and newspapers. We would mix the flour and water to a nice consistency. We would dip layers of newspapers to make our masks. Let me tell you, these masks were very tough. Do you think using the same technique but instead of newspapers we would be using strips of old clothes and cement to maybe make a house.
That might work. That is very interesting. One of us need to try it. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt
@ZipTieDomes are these structures strong enough to bury past frost line?
The Super Hubs with 1.5" PVC pipe are strong enough to support spraying layers of cement that could be built up and reinforced with mesh and additional layers. Reinforced cement can support just about anything.
Thank you for this! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt
Let me introduce you to hot glue instead of staples and screws! it’s waterproof, and mesh to mesh adhesion is outstanding I’m sure… … And your latex slurry should be coming from a gun… I think you need a batting material rather than a screen…
That is a great idea. John Hurt
I fail to understand why you would not preassemble individual rings and then assemble modules
The chance of error may be greater with modules, as they are not all the same. But thanks for the idea. John Hurt

Yes u need a source yo? Ok. Latex means it's a suspension it's not latex from trees. U need the right range of molecular weight of... acrylic!!! You can buy large sacks of the powder. It's a bit challenging for the average person to mix it appropriately. That's the hard part. Hydrating and mixing it properly. To compare find the usual percentage range of acrylate in paint. It's wet % wt, and the % of dry. It's substantial but paint is mostly water. I think acrylate might be around 40% of the mix idk. So once you have mixed. A hundred pounds should make.... Like 200 and some more pounds of liquid. Water is 8 pound a gallon. So you'll get almost 30 gallons. These numbers i just made up idk. Find your source it's in a video description in a video by the channel called Tech Ingredients. Good luck. Thanks for the video i find it informative and greatly appreciate it.
Yes, I like Tech Ingredients too. Thanks for the information. John
