geometric dome

topic posted Sat, November 12, 2005 - 3:07 PM by 
so, i picked up the poles and parachutes needed for a geometric dome, and was wondering if anyone's had any experience putting these thigns together?

here's a link to instructions:
www.stevelerner.com/geometry/inst02.html

but it looks like if you've never done this before, you might need a math degree. ok, not relaly, but it would be way easier if someone's already done this.

also, would you guys like to help me put it up as practice? i'm thinking we can combine this with pizza and beer and make a BBQ sometime (yes, winter, the perfect BBQ time... :)

    I've never built one, but have seen several. I would also be up for helping set it up. Always fun to do projects!

    Hmm...this makes me think of a work party thread...
