Thunder Domes: 2V Geodesic Dome Hub Kit

Description

This dome kit takes all the legwork out of calculating your own complicated cuts and measurements from constructing your own wooden geodesic dome.
Our hubs are made up of 3/16" thick HRS Steel. These hubs come painted and are weather resistant and will withstand being exposed to the elements for years to come.
All you need to do is source 35 pieces of either either 8ft or 10ft long 2X4's or 2X3's. All that's need is for you to cut each piece of lumber in half using either a circular saw or hand saw.
Assembly: The provided manual will have detailed  assembly instructions that are so easy to use that a team of 2 people and construct a dome in under 3 hrs.
New Dome Cover Options:
We are now offering pre-cut triangular panels that could be shipped out with the hub kits to cover a 15.2 ft dome. The panels can either be stapled directly to the frame or could be splined into place using a screen porch track system that can be found in most hardware stores. This allows the possibility to easily swap out each panel in case one get's damage or if you'd like to so switch between clear and canvas panels depending on the seasons.
Please choose what type of doorway option you would like.
