How to Build a Geodesic Dome

Step 4Making individual tubes into a series.

Making individual tubes into a series.
Now we need to make the frame that will eventually become the awesome structure that is our dome.

Make a triangle.
Make an inverted triangle (with the point at the opposite side of the first)
Continue until you have 5 "upright" triangles and 5 "upside down" triangles (all connected, see image)
attach 1 tube to the end of the "ladder"


Now the tricky part, fold the "ladder" up so that the ends of the chain meet and staple (This is easiest with 2 people)

You should have 5 tubes left after this step.
