Geodesic Dome Greenhouse

Step 19Making the Door Frame

Making the Door Frame
Since there are variables that affect the exact dimensions of your completed dome, making the door is a field-engineering task. Measure a piece of wood that will be use to construct the side of the door. Start at the bottom corner of the open pentagon where the 4-way connector is and go straight up until you are touching the top leg of the open pentagon. Mark the wood were it touches the top leg pf the pentagon (see photo below). Repeat this step on the other side.

Looks like this was a great little project. That was fun for all involved. Congratulations. I have built Dome as a garage. It is 32' diameter, 17' tall at the center.
