Larger domes are possible with this type due to the large quantity of elements involved.
For a cost analysis send your requirements of construction materials and dome size.
These next views illustrate the "shortened version" - bottom level of
triangles removed.
Base perimeter becomes slightly smaller than actual dome diameter.
For a 25 ft diameter dome, base perimeter will be 24 ft 2 inches from
vertex to opposite vertex.
Height from ground to apex will be 9 ft 3 inches.
This is a low profile dome, ideal for high wind areas and for a short greenhouse with good floor area that is easier to heat compared to a taller dome. By leaving off the lower level of triangles on the Garden Dome 4, the dome height is reduced by approximately 3 ft 2 inches for the 25 ft diameter model.
Height is approximately 37% of actual Dome Diameter
