mescalito Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) My mate simondontanna is thinking of building something similar, panels are all the same size as each other...a self supporting structure based on simple geometry.https://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://www.swanzart.com/_images/GrowDome/GrowingSpaces_colorkitL.jpg&key=0da42ab45b1eedb8bcbeb410e26921f6bad3a0e1f54b347a0137a9451cdd4f22http://www.swanzart....llness_dome.php Edited April 3, 2011 by mescalito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mescalito Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Not sure,she'd be worth a bit,but as you could well imagine it would definitely pay for itself over time....how long?Hard to say.It's not a bad schematic tho to work around using Polymer sheets and your imagination <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.pngAfter all,the pieces are all the same size and shape,so you could reduce or enlarge it easily.With the right gear and some dosh even something not so full on,basically the self-supporting structure would be a no-brainier to build!That's what I like <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_newimprovedwinkonclear.gif Edited April 4, 2011 by mescalito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sola Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I like the look of it, and it should be relatively easy to build. Perpsex or glass would be the expensive part I guess. Don't think I'd need under soil heat pipes in SA, would be good to have a tank nearby and collect rainfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tripsis Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That chicken coop is awesome! Would love to have a greenhouse like that. Doesn't need to be nearly so high-tech either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
