Total build time ~7 hours. Used 35 x steel conduit 10 ft long by 3/4 in thick. Instructions from www.desertdomes.com

Cost around $200

8ft tall in the center. 16ft diameter around the bottom.

That is really cool, I have always liked geodesic domes.

Looks great! Looks like you could get 4 or 5 hammocks on there and be able tarp it all over. Nice!

Well done. That looks great.

Nice! Hummm wonder if I could build one as a Yard Toy for the kids and get it past the budget committee at home...

Buckminster Fuller would be proud.

Covering the whole thing in Cuben might be fairly pricey

I would love to give this ago! Plus it's educational with all the maths involved!

Did you make this for hammocks or do you have something else in mind?

To anyone wanting to build one, this might be an interesting read.
