Geodesic dome shelter from cardboard
Here are some really thorough instructions for building geodesic
domes. This particular set of plans was developed by some Burning Man attendees who wanted a comfortable structure
that would stand up to the elements. The dome is made of 30 triangles cut from double layered cardboard, 5 wood
triangles with vents, 5 wooden doorway triangles, and 5 cardboard doors. The majority of the triangles are bolted
together to form pentagons that are then bolted to each other. With all of the triangles painted and seams sealed with
duct tape the structure is water proof. All of the dimensions and assembly instructions are provided to create a dome
12'7" in diameter and 6'3" in the center.Originally posted by Eliot Phillips from hack a day, ReBlogged by cat on Feb 13, 2006 at 02:22 PM
