The
EZ Max Zome, made with 4 ft wide right triangles.
Two cover triangles can be cut from a 4 x 8 sheet.
The 12' x 8' extension comes out 4 ft on this example. A side door is added
and roof pitch is given to the extension.
Also notice that we now have "X1" struts (blue) that divide all the original
triangles in half.
The X1 struts reveal the icosahedral equilateral triangles. Shown here with
a see-thru covering; this Zome will also make an exellent greenhouse. This
design presents a NO-WASTE geodesic structure ideal for using the superior
quality twin or triple wall polycarbonate glazing that is commonly available
in 4' x 8' sheets. This glazing can also be used for large skylights
and windows, or use standard clear acrylic sheet or glass. The 20 ft width
is now 24 ft with the extension.
