Geodesic Greenhouse pt. 1: Build

- Join us as we build our first ever geodesic dome greenhouse! We used some basic materials and the Stromberg Starplate system and about 12 hours over 2 days to build the greenhouse.

Great work thanks for sharing
Initially for the base plate, why 35 1/2 degrees instead of 36 degrees? Was it for a little wiggle room?
Hey. Good video we assemble more complex 2V & 3V domes , but haven't seen someone do alot more simple design. Hope the best to you two
A 3V tetra is just as simple and provide more bang for the buck, an extra 5 struts for 50% more floor space.
I would argue that this version of a geodesic dome is just visually less interesting to look at.

The pentagonal floor is not very practical. The hexagonal floor of a 3v tetra makes it more flexible :)
@@JohnGuest45 I'm relatively new to all of this Theory like I've never even thought about geodesic domes except as a point of visual interest. And it just seems like anything less van of 3v just looks too boxy. I feel like you're not getting the inherent good looks and visual interest of a geodesic dome if you go for a smaller frequency
@@jacquestube
The 3v is the most common, its reasonably dome shaped without being overly complex. A large 4v or 6v is nice if you have the space for a big dome. The truncated frameless polycarbonate domes use higher frequencies, 6v - 9v.
Hey there. Great series of videos on the construction and fitting out of the greenhouse. Do you recall how many rolls of plastic you went through and the size of the roll or rolls? I sure hope Carhartt sent you some pants. That was a great testimonial on those.
A year later, how has it held up?
Hey Samantha,
You presented a good demonstration.
What are the length and diameter of the carriage bolts?
What is the weight of the entire frame?
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! The carriage bolts are 4.5” long and 5/16” diameter. The weight of the entire frame is probably a couple hundred pounds. The weight is more different to determine, since we used pressure treated wood and some boards were wetter (and heavier) than others. My husband and I were able to lift it and move it a short distance. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
@@salemstillroom4056 can these be connected together? I'm Just thinking out the box
@@gta-6837 hello! I’m not sure that you could connect multiple structures together, due to the shape and angle of the star-shaped brackets. I would love to see it, though, if you can figure it out!!
@@salemstillroom4056 that would be cool.
@@salemstillroom4056 Hello. I am going to be building my first dome, a 1v style like yours, and I am wondering why you made the cuts to 35 degrees? All the cuts should add up to 360 degrees, which should make each individual cut 36 degrees.
