– 15 x 4 branch
connectors- 6 x 5 branch

connectors- assembly instructions
Note: in the literature on domes we talk about the 5/8 cutting is exactly the same as 5/9 or 7/12. It just means a little more than a half-sphere. The 5/8 model is 1 story longer than the 3/8 model.
Technical Specifications:
Material: A2/SS304 Stainless Steel, 3mm Thick
Connector Diameter: 19.5cm
Marking A, B and C of all connector branches
In addition to the connectors you will need:
165 wooden uprights / joists / rafters. You will have access to my calculator to determine the length of the amounts. There are only 4 different lengths.
The length of the uprights will determine the diameter and height of the dome.
330 bolts 1 or 2 cm longer than the height of the studs.
The purchase of this kit includes a detailed instruction manual, installation tutorials and access to our assembly assistance service. I do everything to make the assembly as easy as possible for you.
2 PEOPLE NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY
Note that it really takes 2 people to mount a 3V geodesic dome (our connectors for 1V and 2V domes can be mounted alone) as some steps require supporting the lower floor.
Also note that a 3V dome disassembly without support of the lower floors will bend the connectors which will then no longer be usable. Disassembly without damaging the connectors is therefore reserved for experienced people.
