    That's exactly how I measure my projects too.

    Do you have a hole in the top of this so that you can have a fire inside?

    This looks really cool. Did you have to buy special connectors for the poles, or do they just bolt to each other?

    They just bolt to each other.

    btw if anyone is interested in buying one of these, let me know. I'll make a frame for $600 + shipping.

    Low, shallow domes do much better in the wind.

    Looks like a lot of fun. Nice dome.

    How have I never thought about hanging a hammock in there before?? Building one of these is definitely on my to-do list now. A couple extra poles and a piece of canvas and you have a hammock-ready teepee. Very cool!
