Garden Dome 2 Modifications
Some variations on the basic Garden Dome 2 + Base Option
design.
Pentagon points are pushed outward, making the lower pentagon triangle
vertical. One or all pentagons may have the modification. It's best
used
for making the door area vertical, for covering the door area easier
(no special extension needed) and adding
a hinged door frame. In these illustrations all the 5 lower pentagons
have
the modification.
1. Original Base Option with door entrance
2. Triangles under the lower pentagon vertical triangles
are
also vertical. A large vertical face is created. From the front
elevation
view can be seen how the floor area is reduced slightly.
3. With the Vertical Base Option. This is the simplest
method,
best for adding board siding to add rigidity to the Base, but
greenhouse
glazing or film can also be used. Nine windows could be used. Also good
with smaller domes such as
10-14 ft for adding extra height for a door. The VBO can be made as
tall
as needed.
