Full Dome and Zome Build Plans, Info and Build Gallery at Trilliumdomes.com/build-your-own-dome The first in a series of videos dedicated to expanding upon principles use in the construction of wood framed geodesic domes and zomes! This series is a follow-up to our original Ultimate Geodesic Dome Builders Guide video ( • The Ultimate Geodesic Dome Build Guid... ) and will be covering topics such as special framing methods, deck framing, roof systems, windows, sealing, and any other suggestions you might have! This time around, Johnny Bayles, the man behind the popular dome and zome woodworking plans from Trilliumdomes.com, will walk you through the Deep Frame Method for building geodesic domes. With this method you can use 1x or 2x materials to make struts at full depth. This allows for incredible strength and insulation potential. Pros: - Strength. Our original method ( • The Ultimate Geodesic Dome Build Guid... ) dome designs offer an incredible amount of strength that is more than adequate for the vast majority of applications. Still, there are those of you who prefer to have a full depth frame. - Insulation potential. For smaller living space domes, even 1.5-2.5" of insulation is enough for most environments. Of course, more insulation never hurts, especially with larger domes. This method allows for a full 3.5", 5.5" or even larger cavity for insulation. - Less tools. This method only requires a miter saw for cutting struts. Cons: - More material necessary. As stated above, our original method ( • The Ultimate Geodesic Dome Build Guid... ) is more than adequate for most builds and is much more material efficient. This method could be as much as 2 or 3 times the material cost for the dome frame. -Challenging. Because there are more compound cuts to make, this method could be seen as more complicated or prone to error. I believe if you follow my steps exactly as I lay them out in this video, you will have no issues. Please leave any comments, questions or suggestions below! Thanks and happy building.

Hello, everyone! I apologize in advance for being a worse YouTuber than a builder. Here's my attempt to showcase this build that we absolutely flew through in record time with no shop, no special tools, and all while travelling. 20' diameter, 300 sq ft, 12' tall 7k USD in material costs (including alot of Hawai'i-specific costs) Could be done for much cheaper! Is it strong? Holy crap yes. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for the love and support as always. Johnny and Milla

We flew to Hawaii and framed and dried in a 300 sq ft zome in only 7 days without a shop. Full build video on the way! You can find my zome and dome plans on my website, TrilliumDomes.com
