- little tour of the starplate dome frame
7 foot OUTSIDE length of 2x3 lumber for struts (approx 6 foot 10 inch calculated strut length)
one sheet of ply/osb will cover one triangle (5 sheets for the roof)
connecting domes is doable, but not "automagic" like with hexayurts

I built one of these about 15 years ago. I bent the top starplates and lowered the roof pitch to 4 in 12 to match my house. I had 2 feet (0.6 meters) of snow on it for 4 months last winter. All is fine.
good video
Thank you!
Yes! Updates?
First thing I think is hexa yurt too!
So cool any updates ?
ممتاز استمر
Can you buy those metal plate hubs somewhere online perhaps? or were they made on order?
Yes I would like to know to where you can buy the star plate fasteners
Stromberg's Chickens sells them.
Would you insulate it with styrofoam boards or rock wool insulation
Did you make more?
I think it's way cooler when one uses mathematics to calculate the cutting angle instead of using metal joints.
watching a single video of someone cutting all those angles into wood and organizing it was enough to cured me of this idea
Can you build these with 16 ft 2x4's?
Yep Im building one with 12 ft long lumber. You'll need more bracing
@@Pabkojdim did you double up the metal plates for extra strength? Have heard they can warp if wood longer than 9-10 feet..
Would love to know how it turns out! I want to build a whole cluster of these...
@@keralee
I added supports going horizontally
@@keralee and I added bracing to make a window. If you add plywood to the outside it will add strength to
@@Pabkojdim thank you! Sounds amazing, it must be a fairly large dome?! Would love to see it if you have pics up on a site somewhere?
Now that you built it, would you do it that way again? Or would you build two smaller domes with 8 foot struts instead?
