Conduit Climbing Frame Build.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Bit of a redesign and build of a geodesic climbing frame, most half sphere climbing frames are a bit low to the ground so I made this one more of a sphere to get a better vertical climbing area on the sides of the dome.

Well done! I am an electrician and on big jobs I see whole dumpster full of conduit stubs thrown out this length. I have always wanted to build a conduit dome. Yours looks great, cheers.
Thanks for this excellent post. Same techniques work for greenhouse or workshop, shelter, etc. I'd never seen the value of an hydraulic press demonstrated so well.
You certainly did a great job. I myself and I know many others definitely appreciate your efforts. Thank you for your very informative videos. From the heart, God bless.
Back in the 70s we had a climbing dome at my elementary school. Most awesome thing ever for recess.
I've built one of Paul's wooden hub-less domes a few years back. They look beautiful but they take quite a lot of timber ripping. Recently I purchased a 5 metre diameter dome kit using the steel struts similar to that shown in this video. It's amazing how strong the frame becomes when it's all bolted together.
OUTBACK DOMES I believe u!
Hydraulic press certainly helps strength
I notice he (Paul Robinson geo-etc.) gives me, GIVES ME FREE! all the clues of his brief in-depth conversation “ here. Eye-bolts for the floor, parachute cover, all evidence for my slow mind. But (Paul and)UA-cam lets me review over and over again
What dome kit did you purchase? Ive made a magidome recently and looking to expand my skills into conduit/metal domes to get to airbnb level dimensions
I want one so bad!
Structures like these are perfect for putting up at RV parks for keeping bikes out of the weather and even suspending a hammock away from the mosquitoes.
Great job! Nice and simple and very neatly made. Also, I like how you left the sped up sound in the video - cracked me up :)
Beautiful build Paul!
The excact design i was looking for, thank you for this.
I've seen this method of dome construction before, but the clamp you used to hold the tubing for marking is something I'll have to remember for later.
Excellent Mr. Robinson, tnx for sharing it with the world!!!
wrap it in shrink wrap then add aircrete on top and you have an igloo you can turn into a sauna... or just shrink wrap it for a greenhouse. I've seen it take years for shrink wrap to break down in the sun.
Thanks for filming your build. Very enjoyable and great music to accompany your hard work. Inspiring.
Simply inspiring! Most grateful. Stay well.
വളരെ രസകരമായിട്ടുണ്ട് 😊😊 good and interesting job 👍👍
Great job love your work I world like to know what would be the best way to cover it looks amazing thanks for sharing I have one of your books I saw on one of your videos you were writing anew book but I don't know where to purchase it have you stopped making videos it's ashame i miss seeing your work thanks for sharing hope all is well
Short and right to it! Well done!!
Well done sir. Thank you for the video. If I may ask what is the diameter of this dome? It looks like a very worthwhile project.
Great work!
Beautifull and sturdy ✨✌🏼😊
Very nice …. Can you share the measurements please
Now I need to make a DOME
They who grow , hold the future !
These are exactly what I want to do. Thank you very much🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wow, I would like to make a shed out of this.
Excellent, congratulations, how many inches and thickness are the tubes you used
very neat workshop....
Greaaaat job 👷🏻♂️ 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
... although Paul's workplace looks very messy the project turned out being very classy ... with all due respect ...
super la video, pourrait-on savoir quelle est la dimension de chaque élément , ainsi que le nombre qu'il faut?
makes me crazy when i see all these people grinding with no mask. I used to do that all the time, grinding with no protection at all. Take a look at the crap you are breathing in. All of the disc turns to dust then there is the metal dust and sometimes paint dust etc. It's mad not to wear a mask. I guess you could say the same about driving a car with the windows down, all the brake dust and other dust on the roads but lets face it thats going a bit too far. In the future of electric cars we will almost never use brakes as we can recharge the batteries with the kinetic energy, slowing down the vehicle in the process. Anyway i'm getting very sidetracked.
Nice project.
I've heard that the air inside the car is often worse than the air that would be coming in from outside.
@@shaun6828 Probably due to new plastic off gassing in the sun. I don;t really like the smell of new cars. That's one of the reasons i like driving and maintaining older vehicles. I mean, most of them are close to the year 2000 + - a few years. I do have a 73 RV in USA which is a bit old to be efficient, but pollution wise for the amount of use it gets it's almost irrelevant by comparison of people who drive daily. Not much off gassing going on in that one!
Paul you are good.
Saludos..se cortan todos de la misma medida
Hola buenas noches soy de Colombia Silvania cundinamarca,y nesecito irme a vivir a un lote que compre resiente mente ,e visto que un domo me sale más barato que otras contrucciones usted me podría ayudar ,me regala las medidas de los triángulos y cuántos yo no sé mucho de esto gracias
I made a 20 ft diameter dome and slept in it for 3 months. I have since recycled the conduit into various racks, A-frames, and I'm thinking about making window awnings next.
That’s so cool 😬
Que criterio usan para definir el diámetro de los tubos.?
Thanks for sharing the information. An issue has become a mystery to me. How much extra should be calculated on each side of the pipe compared to the value of the calculator and how much should be flattened on each side. And does the radius of the center circle of the hub decrease from the length of the pipe in the PVC dome?
Thanks, good video.
How can i put the cover panels in this type of domo ?
Can advancing this concept be a solid camping tent
Had one at my primary school in the late 1960s - I didn't appreciate it at the time. It was bigger or, was it that I was smaller back then?
Nice video
Hola! Las medidas de los caños son todos de la misma medida?
was It a v3 Dome? And what about the sphere? 7/12? Great job, thanks!
I just put together two massive desks using emt conduit and makerpipe connectors, and made probably close to 100 pipe cuts. I never thought to use an angle grinder. 🙄
How did you cut the pipe? Pipe cutter I'm guessing
Me puede decir como saca exactamente las medidas de los huecos para que encajen y se forme la cupula saludos
great work man
Wonderful video ! I instantly subscribed.
Hi Paul, this is great! I didn't see the dimensions on your site for the struts. Where would I go for that?
Yes, please Paul can you post the strut length and bending angle? And thank you for all your videos, I am presently constructing an underground Hobbit House 10 ft by 20 ft 7ft deep. There will be steps in the back leading up to my ground level bedroom. Covered by your dome! Sleeping under the stars. Thanks to you.😉 I will gladly send you photos of the work in progress to finish. The mini excavater is reserved for next Wensday!! bUT i WOULD LOVE TO USE THIS FRAME, JUST NEED DIMENSIONS. tO BE PERFECTLY HONEST WITH YOU i AM A DISABLED VETERAN, BECAUSE OF SEVERE HEAD INJURY I HAVE TROUBLE CALCULATING THE MATH. But my construction and following instructions are excent. Please I will appreciate any aid you or your members could give me. Thank you again Paul. You are my new hero.👐
Greetings
Appreciate your video
I’m from saskatchewan Canada
We get extremely hot and cold weather with wind
I’ve been looking into making a 3v dome some 24ft diameter to use as a 4 season work area for larger projects and a green house
I have a small work area that I could manufacture the struts in. Construct in winter if it’s nice days around minus 10c
Questions
What thickness of aluminum piping is used?
Size of hole drilled and length of bolts
Thankyou
It's galvanized electrical conduit. ⅝ or ¾.
Hola soy de Argentina bs as quería saber si se pueden hacer de que medidas de largo
where did you get the lengths for each piece? how did you calculate this?
Is the measurement you need centre to centre of the holes?
All same length?
Goodjob
Nice! Wondering to save time, if would be easier to make a tool and die to just stamp, cut hole and cut rounded edge at the same time?
Yes if you where doing a lot that would be the best solution, I might look at something because this is quite an easy way to build lots of things.
What are the sizes of the two different piping lengths?
what thickness are the steel tubes
is there a CALCULATOR available, please...for the strut lengths? thanks! :-)
De qué medidas cortaste los tubos
Excelente propuesta.
Saludos camarada cuántos tubos son y que medidas me interesa hacer uno gracias
Brilliant....
Hi Paul.
I'm thinking about fiberglass rebar struts to use for my geodesic dome frame. Did you try to use that material before? I just wondering if it's will be stable under UV of sunlight.
Hey that's a cool idea, did you pursue it?
Qual medida em mm que foi prensada?
Are all the tubes the same size?
Sir, is it possible to build house with this frames? Possibly with thicker pipes? Thank you for sharing knowledge.
There are plenty of examples of houses just search you tube "doom houses"
@@MrIlangovans , better results to search a "dome house". ;)
ADMA LOL
Unfortunate that non-standard construction is not allowed or too expensive in many places. It is hard to meet building codes designed for conventional buildings.
Could you please tell me what is the name and size of the tube that you used so I could order it off amazon?
It's 25mm electrical conduit, wall thickness is 1.6mm I think, better go to a electrical trade store, I think they would be cheaper than Amazon.
What angle is on the ends? Maybe a close-up of the die in your press?
Hola amigo cómo puedo saber la frecuencia de los tubos para un domo de 6 metros de diámetro ?
Very labor intensive but it looks as though it really pays off in sturdyness.
Very labour intensive? :D I would like to see your version of hard work :D
Lovely
I'm not sure why paul bends the ends
hello, from colombia, would you mind to share how many piecer are needed? i mean the quantities of tubes and all, i would appriciate
What is the biggest conduit frame you can build? Is 100 foot diameter 6v dome something that would break under it's own weight? Is 1 inch or 1/2 inch better? Is stronger better or lighter better? It doesn't need to be claimable. Just able to hold up a rain water collection UV protected greenhouse plastic.
Larger tubing is always stronger, the length of the struts would be one of the biggest factors in deciding tubing diameter.
@@edgarpryor3233 is there a formula?
@@AliAbdullah-oi3wc I'm sure there is, but I don't know what it is.
Bellissimo!!!
smart as hell!
a bandsaw is the way to go !!
what are the specs of the conduit poles? How much weight can it hold?
Ok excelente pero comparte los datos la frecuencia, las medidas los ángulos
@very-very end: used parachute? Useful, thanks
What a cool project! I love how simple it is and the finished project turned out beautiful.
How is it holding up after a few years of use?
Y como le saco las medidas
You made it for klimbing.. I am thinking about making one for chicken.
What kinds of pipes?
Quiero hacer uno v2 para invernadero
Hi, good morning. How thick is the pipe? 1.6mm?
Yes, correct
What are those bolts you used called with the ring to connect the struts? Thank you for your video
lifting eye
Dear Paul please tell me
what is the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe
25mm OD 1.6mm wall thickness.
@@Geo-Dome Thank you dear Paul!
Hii just recently bought your gd15 dome plans book I would like to buy more of your dome plans can you tell me what is the best way to contact you I've tried through the geo-dome website with no response by email thanks love your work
Buenos que medida tiene
Hi congratulations for your videos, a question how do you calculate the size of the tubes about the diametre of the spira?
Thank you!!!
There are several great geodesic dome calculators online.
Шикарно!
Nice work. Really like all your different designs. What the spec on the conduit?
3/4 inch or bigger for climbing depending on the strut size. The conduit looks like it is 1 inch in the video.
Do you sell the plans with the measurements?
Молодец мужик❤
What were you covering it with at the end??? Great build!! Do you have lengths or a calculator you recommend to make a larger one? I'm looking for this type for a temp greenhouse. Thx!!!
Looks like a parachute at the end.
And the calculator can be found at:
www.desertdomes.com/domecalc.html
It's a climbing frame!
Paul good job I like need yuo help with a make dome 5 m
UA-cam search the youtube channel:
zip tie domes they have all the information you need
Saludos me puedes pasar las medidas de los tubos
This is very similar to how Toyota frames their cars
Paul why don't u do a greenhouse out of metal conduit ?
Wow 🇨🇦
