dome
price are for complete dome shells. Your local carpenters
and trade people may handle cupolas, doors, windows, and
extensions at a savings. But we are happy to offer a quote
and options in estimate.
We
concentrate our efforts on having the most affordable,
labor friendly, structural, headache free dome kits
available -- the way Bucky wanted it! We will always build
to your specifications and needs. The sizes of our kits
are guidelines; if you want a larger or more specific size
or frequency we have no problem accommodating.
Good
Karma paneled domes come with triangles pre-assembled.
Struts or framing material are the best money can buy.
Struts and interior framing of triangles are glued and
screwed or nailed. Exterior decking (1/2" CDX mill
certified unless otherwise specified) is glued and nailed
on 6" centers and is factory painted to ensure against
rain damage prior to roofing.
All our
domes come with engineer's calculations on weight and wind
shear loads. And we guarantee to pass any structural
building code standards. We work with you on pier and
foundation plans.
Triangles
or panels come color coded for easy erection. Blue to
blue, red to red, stick a bolt in it. Four 3/8" x 4" zinc
plated bolts per side; that's 12 bolts per triangle. All
nuts, bolts, washers, color code guide along with layouts
for sheetrock and foundation piers are included along with
30 years experienced technical support.
Our domes
exceed building codes and all other manufactured domes. We
also do 6 frequency and elliptical domes. We do custom
domes and we give custom dome price! Contact us for a
quote!
Some of our customers
have requested a bare-bones price on framing only and
would like to apply the plywood decking themselves. We
will offer this option at a 40% discount from kit dome
price. Framing still comes color coded with directions for
assembly with all nuts & bolts. Delivery not included.
Foundation Plans Pick one
PDF documents of foundation plans that can be downloaded and printed (they print nicely at Kinko's on 3' by 2' paper. Ask your children how to get it there ;-)
USEFUL MATH Pi
=3.1416 d=diameter r=radius
Circumference of circle (or perimeter) = Pi*d or Pi*2*r
Area of circle (or square footage) = Pi*r*r
Area of Sphere (or skin or roofing) = 4*Pi*r*r for hemisphere 2*Pi*r*r
Volume of Sphere (or interior cubic footage used for calculating HVAC) = 4/3 * Pi *r*r*r for hemisphere = 2/3 * Pi *r*r*r note: by doubling the diameter of a sphere, the surface area is increased by a factor of 4; the volume is increased by a factor of 8
