Step 3Putting things together
The struts were cut from the pallet wood using a band saw roughly 3/4 inch square (19mm). This is tedious and your not going to want to do it by hand so if you don't have access to a band saw or something similar buy wood that is the right size.
Perfectly good domes are made from Garden canes and provided they are wide enough you could use this method of connecting them.
The lengths of the 3 types were cut from the Desert dome information and the ends drilled.
Sitting on the lawn all of the struts were laid out and then connected. I chose (perhaps unwisely) to build from the top down because this means you have to lift the full weight of the dome to add more struts.
