The "Main Frame" of the Garden Dome 3 complete. Over 1,100 lb. of cement
brick blocks are set on the frame for a structural stress test. No apparent
damage resulted.
Here the dome frame is shown with the bricks from the above image stacked
in background. All these bricks were on the dome frame!
Moved to a new location and Base Option added for approx 2-1/2 feet of
extra height.
The hexagon and triangle right on top of it makes a nice door area
with 8 struts and one hub removed. The dome is made from regular framing lumber,
white pine 2 x 4s cut in half lengthwise with oil based wood preservative
generously applied.
