Silo Dome Super Hubs Load Test

https://www.ziptiedomes.com Andrew Siemens helps us load test our "Silo" Geodesic Dome design. This geodesic dome uses our new 6" "Super Hubs" and 1.5" Schedule 40 330 PSI PVC pipe for struts. The Silo addition to the bottom of the dome raises the 16' diameter 2v geodesic dome from 8' in center to 12' in the center. This gives more usable space around the edge of the dome, and provides the possibility of a storage area suspended by a net at the top of the dome. The Silo Dome with Super Hubs can support over 240 lbs. Andrew Siemens demonstrates that this structure can easily support his weight of 160 lbs. The entire structure weighs 275 lbs. Of that, the geodesic dome section weights 187 lbs, and the additional silo section weighs 88 lbs. All of the components are less than 5' long and will fit in the back of a standard pickup truck. Our domes are not designed for climbing. This video is for demonstration purposes only.
