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

Let me know if I can help. www.ziptiedomes.com/contactus.htm John

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

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 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

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

Thank you for your comment. It is great to hear when people appreciate what you have done. Have a great day. John Hurt

Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

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

If you can find some wooden poles or bamboo, I can work with you on how to build your own domes. We have plans you can download to build your own domes from any material: www.ziptiedomes.com/geodesic-dome-plans/index.htm Contact me at this link: www.ziptiedomes.com/contactus.htm John Hurt

@@ZipTieDomes Hi John, thanks for you reply :) bamboo would be a possibility i did not think about at first - maybe this could work. I will have a look at your plans, we already bought some geodome plans from another inventor who uses a different construction, but maybe this is easier for us :D I will contact you at the link if i need help!

@@thorgal8692 You are welcome to contact me at this link: www.ziptiedomes.com/contactus.htm Thanks, John Hurt

That is a great idea. I will have to do some research. thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

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. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

Duh, uh, well maybe you have a point. But you are the one watching my video, not the other way around. So who is the dumb one? Take care. John

Thanks for your comments, and for watching the video. John Hurt

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!!!

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

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

I hope so. I really, really hope so. Thanks, John Hurt

Thanks!

That is great! Thanks for watching the video. John

Yes. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

Latex cement, yes. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

That is an interesting concept. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

Thanks for being our customer. John Hurt

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

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...

Thanks for watching the video. John

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

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

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

@@ZipTieDomes thanks John for all this useful information.

Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

Thanks. Blessings to you and your family. John Hurt

That might work. That is very interesting. One of us need to try it. Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

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.

Thanks for watching the video. John Hurt

That is a great idea. John Hurt

The chance of error may be greater with modules, as they are not all the same. But thanks for the idea. John Hurt

Здравствуйте, Геннадий. Для более прочных куполов мы используем ПВХ-трубы с внешним диаметром 49 мм. ua-cam.com/video/PIzvtLdYMH4/v-deo.htmlsi=clqE7iqlcKR9AlgT Вы также можете использовать деревянные шесты или бамбук. ua-cam.com/video/0OuK1UVdDag/v-deo.htmlsi=9xRd5Zcut9mLoiU1 У нас нет патентов в России. Вы можете построить там купола, чтобы помочь тем, кому нужно место для жизни. Много благословений вам и вашей семье. И пусть Россия тоже будет благословлена ​​Богом. Джон Хёрт

Yes, I like Tech Ingredients too. Thanks for the information. John

Have a great day. John
