Anyone have decent plans or proposals for a 10-15' diameter 1/2-5/8
sphere dome suitable for a playhouse? My son will be 5 at the end of
next summer, we finally have a yard, and I'm always looking for
projects. I figured that either cutting and labelling struts, or
pre-assembling panels, or something would make a great winter project,
as they can be completed in the garage, potentially even late at night
after the family is long since asleep :)
I was thinking about something with a single entry door, approximately
60-75% the size of a normal door, 2-3 windows, 2-3 skylights (both of
these out of Lexan, which is remarkably inexpensive and easy to work
with), and have even thought about putting it up on stilts, to
accommodate a sandbox beneath it.
Ooh... And maybe a slide, or a zip line.... ;)
