There is a solar exhaust fan (that can be hardwired as well) and the entire top (last two sets of triangles) just zips right off for the summer time. its made of very thick vinyl with a nylon fiber rip-stop mesh. 79 or 81% light transmission, depending on who u ask. the roll-up sides, removable top and round door are all secured with marine grade zippers.
Everything above the red line zips off.

Looks great. How much did it run you? and how many square feet are inside that thing?
420 sq feet and it was about $14K when all was said and done. It goes up in a day and can be moved anywhere. Seemed to make more sense than putting a permanent GH on a rental property... I have always wanted a dome. Sacred geometry and all that... There are certainly WAY more cost effective options.
You can read about how I came to the decision to buy it in my defunct GH thread.

When we built the dome, we had to pull down hard at that spot to get the last strut to fit into its place. Its amazing how stong that point in the structure is. I am not sure of the weight-bearing, but its insane. I can hang from it with zero visible deformation of the dome.
I left it in place because I knew it would come in handy for something... Now, when I am watering I tie the hose up above the height of the plants... hoses on the ground are a huge pain in the ass and can damage plants when snagged. I also tie the hose off at one other point by the hung door where it comes in and there is no point at which the hose can cause any drama. I'll take a pic of the "system" tomorrow.
I plan on replacing it with a proper climbing rope so I can hang from the center top in a harness and tend to the tops of my monster Cough plant.
Me preguntaron que es la cuerda azul que cuelga del centro.
Cuando contruimos el domo, tuvimos que jalar muy fuerte al mecate azul que cuelga del centro para connectar la ultima barra. No se cuanto peso puede soportar la estructura, pero es una locura. yo puedo colgar del mecate sin nada de deformacion en la estructura.
Deje el mecate porque sabia que iba a servir..para algo. Ahorra, lo uso para colgar la manguera de irrigacion para no puede danar las plantas en el suelo.
Voy a reemplezar lo con una cuerda de escalada para que me puedo colgar para attender a las plantas bestias que van a estar andentro...
whew...OK, amigo... no voy a traducir TODOS los posts... pero a veces... para los amigos latinos.

Lovely. I was hoping to make it down for the meeting in Ukiah tomorrow but it is not looking good. Give Mr Burns, I mean Richard Lee hell for me.

Sounds like a dank lineup ya got going bro. Im subbed and gl wit your show.
Oh .... wished i had mentioned this before for u guys , my friend is ordering more than several of truckloads (22 pallets per truck) of Vital Earth's "monomix" & could piggy-back other decent sized orders ontop of that . He wasn't quite together back a few weeks ago but assures me now the Vital earth boyz will be working more exclusively with him from now on. His cost ordering this large is $6/bag & he's charging 60c a bag or 10% only ontop of that . I'd do it at that price as a favor & helping the cause out .
BTW Nomad ... am really loving that geodesic dome of your's WOW/nICE !!!!!!That's a super nice sunspace & bet the light is well reflected back within the dome at night for better veg cycle maintenance till transplant ? And is that a dark-cloth that can be swirled around entirely for light depo treatment i see at the top ? That's a clean functional looking planty space .
Just loving it.... Bucky Fuller lives !!
