Geo dome with only one triangle frame.

- Someone asked me the other day if it was possible to build a dome that only had one size triangle frame, it is possible but I had to cheat a bit and design a dome with two mirror image triangle frames. They are technically the same size so I reckon it counts. The sphere has 120 frames which I think is the maximum you can have with only one frame shape. A 2v dome has 40 triangle frames of two types, this dome has 60 frames all the same. If you want plans for this drop a comment below.

The visual pattern created by the symmetrical triangles is beautiful. I really like this dome. I would love the plans for this one.
Yes plans would be great thanks Paul
This is the direction I’m going…. Thanx for the hints.
This is a super sweet looking dome. I would love these plans.
this is great
nice breakdown, amazing that it can be from one triangle too.
I actually think this is a very attractive dome and I definitely like the fact that you can just make one piece and flip it over
I like this one very creative and great use of materials.
I like the triangular entrance. It would lend it self easily to making multiple domes joined to together with these triangular tunnels. Keep up the great instructional videos.
Would definitely like the plans for this one, with the vertical panels around the bottom. Great stuff!
Agreed. Can’t wait to see plans
Yep same
I must agree.
I've done basic plans, but will be working on the other shortly : czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html

I've love the videos over the years cant wait to make one
Please drop some plans. I love the domes. I too was looking for a simple Repeated procedure for construction. Thank you for your post.
Thank you Paul for your clear and beautyful drawings.
Lol, looks like a skull. Love the triangle door! Would like plans for that dome.
That does look very good. I may build some feral cat homes from your idea. I would like the plans to these.
Very good analysis....Thanks!
Your dome at 6 minutes is intriguing. I would be interesting in a drawing set if you make one.
Great video! I've searched a long time to find this single component design. I'd like plans.
Gota get me a drawing package. Love what u do 🤝✌
You are a living treasure.
Love the idea of one size panels. I made a green house in my backyard with a sitting area. I wasn't happy with the roof idea so I never finished the sitting area. Now I want a dome for the deck. 9ft x 9ft area. Thank you!
Way cool! Sure I would love to have a set of plans. You are on a roll. Thanks!
You bet! here you go: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
This looks really great! Would work well.
I would love plans for this, sounds nice an straightforward. Love your content.
The plumb base walls are splendid! I would like these plans.
I would definitely appreciate the plans for this. I'm hoping to surprise my wife with a greenhouse.
Brilliant! Well done
Looks good. Enjoy your videos
I think that this would make a fantastic backyard hobby greenhouse. Especially with the raised walls. I’d love to see the plans for that. Thank you!
Would love the plans!!!! Love your work!!!!
Paul knows his shortcuts in Sketchup. Nice simple design, that last one.
Good idea, excellent model... simple in theory... need more info please. Its got great potential so thanks for your efforts.
I second that! I really like the dome with the vertical panels at the bottom as well. Thank you very much for this, it's very informative! And yes, to get the plans would be awesome, thank you!
Glad you like it! look in description of this video: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
Loving your videos , I’m starting to understand more and more and getting really excited about building one . I’m interested to see how the plans 👀 look . 👌🏼
You can do it! plans are here: wangerflange.com/downloads/unitydome_basic.pdf
Thank you for teaching us !
I would love these plans for my first dome please 😎 I have heavy sheets of white acrylic to use .
Awesome idea Paul. I think it looks really good. I'd love plans. Love the simplicity.
Glad you like it, finished plans now: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html just basic ones
Definitely would like to have plans for this dome, I enjoyed the possibilities explored using Sketchup
Yes please plans would be great thnxs keep up the great work
Looking for plans to build my first Dome. This looks like it should be fairly straightforward. We would truly appreciate a set of plans. Thanks for your genius.
I really like this one for a garden greenhouse or a room in the woods. I’d love the plans.
Lookin good plans
another inspiring video, thank you Paul, Plans would be very appreciated.
With the vertical flat panels will create an easy entrance and a good base. Interesting plans that I will like to see. Thanks
Love it. Way to think outside the box or i should stay way to think outside the circle. Best dome guy on youtube
Really would love to have the plans thank you amazing
Looks good
That's interesting it make for a simple greenhouse build. My sweetie is pushing for a greenhouse.
They look fantastic! You're really generous with your videos and plans. I saw a thumbnail of your pyramid greenhouse and loved it so much i built my own (smaller than yours though because of my wife 😉)
Oh thank you! I'll try my best to get a set put together over the next week or two, Feel free to nudge me if you don't see anything soon.
Looks awesome. Would definitely love to get my hands on some plans Paul
You should! czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
The mirror image triangles look good. I believe people would find it attractive out in the country where I live. It takes me 3o minutes to get to a walmart if that tells you anything. I think I'd like to try it also.
The vertical panels at bottom may be a good greenhouse design. I would like a plan for that one. Great presentation. Thanks for for time and effort on this video.
I like both solutions to make an entry. The vertical panels also adds more easy to use space on the bottom. The triangle extension would be a perfect way to connect multiple domes. And all with just a few different panels. Looking forward to the plans.

Plans for that dome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎
This one has a nice feel, it would be good for a meditation dome. Love to have the plan :)
Great idea! check them out here: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
Thanks Paul
That's awesome
I would definitely like a plan for that
That looks Very intresting, World love some plans

"Only one triangle frame". Key to a manufactured solution! Domes as a mass-produced Housing solution require a low math variational solution. Dodecahedrons are all the same 'plate'. When edge length exceed 5' the 'v's kick in and everything starts multiplying, vertex angles, edge angles, edge lengths, requiring every new size to have a complete face-by-face mathematical solution. This is a barrier to mass produced geodesic dome spaces.
I like the last example of adding a door.
Great design! Very interested in the plans.
Awesome, just finished plans link here: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
There is one other way to get a door into that dome. In the arrangement that lets you cut it straight in half, just build straight rectangular walls to lift the whole thing up by the height of the door. You could then have essentially a cylindrical wall around the base and a dome roof.
I like the look of that dome with straight
bottom panels
Hi Paul, this is great ! I did email you this question the other day so thank you for taking the time to answer this. It actually looks pretty good. I would be interested in a set of plans if you did release any. Thanks again.
NonStopNeal Great request and GREAT response!
@@davidfuller764 I wasnt expecting paul to respond with this much detail.
Looks like a winner! Would love the plans :)

Very interested in your plans, Paul. I'm planning on building a garden observatory.
Looks cool, would love the plans
Here you go czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
looks great Paul i would love to have a bash ar this looks like the easy build 8x4 kite dome you have up
awesome!!
Would definitely like the plans
You can stellate a dodekahedron quite easily. Just snap a A4-paper in half diagonally. That's EXACTLY half of the triangle you need. Make two to make a triangle. Make 5 triangles into a pentagon and create a dodecahedron: there you are.. VERY easy to make a model this way. You can also use an A5 (half a4) or A7 (Quarter of A4) if you don't have enough A4 paper. You need 30 triangles. It's basically what he is showing. But I did the measurement math for you, so you don't have to.
Hi Paul id love the plans fir the final 1 pattern dome with the triangle door frame : )
Yes, I'd like the plans too!
Here you go: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
One triangle dome plans your illustrations were great I would like to have an illustration or plan for that the A frame door your came up with so quickly really looked good thank you
Sweet!
This is very interesting dome using mirror image panels. Would like to see the plans for this. A flat based dome of simply one triangle and it’s mirror image. Doing research before build a dome home. This or a 2V dome with extra supporting members in each panel. By what you have shown a standard 4 by 8 foot sheet of plywood could be cut diagonally to cover the frame.
Link to plans is in the description on this video: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html I will be doing more ideas on this design so keep an eye out for them.
Most awesome
I'd love a set of plans for this. Simple and beautiful!
Just finished now: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
@@Geo-Dome Much appreciated!!
Ingenious, as always! Perhaps it works best as a frame for a greenhouse or tent?
Nice really nice
I would love the plans for this if they are still available
You have so many beautiful designs. It's hard to pick between them. Would you please do an image that shows all of the dome designs, with and without doors, to give a side by side comparison. Thanks!
Interesting video! I would like plan for this. Could be interesting to see the dome highten from the foundation. How to solve the isolation indoors and the finish plaster?
I would love a set of plans for that modified dome.
Hope you are able to draw up this one Paul. Like your work.
Done it here you go: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html. turned out better than I thought
That's cool
Looks great, would also love to get the plans - would this work with just the WangerFlange, or it could be a normal bevel cut build like the one I bought on the site?
This is a great concept, would love a set of plans!!
Here you go: czcams.com/video/V_KhrXggRsU/video.html
Paul Robinson can you send me imperial measurements, please, thanks!!
Thanks,all very interesting, just beginning to develop homestead kind of radical but as i will be working alone a good deal of the time one person prefab with relatively light sections could be big help,would like to see plan.thanks again
I would love the plans for this, thanks

It's possible to make a one triangle geodesic dome using the class II subdivision on a V2 frequency dome in a different way. Its an adaptation of the basic triacon that is presented on the video called "full triacon". It is made with the same triangle used in the video, but it's mirrored on the longer side of the right angle to make one face of the triacon (just like the "door" made in the last part of the video). With only two diferent sides it's a very simple dome to make, and the base can be made by cuting these triangles in half (witch is the same as using the original triangle). So it would have a total of 32 triangles (or 30, since it's 28 full and 4 halfs). It's good for small domes, maybe less than 8 meters diameter, but for big domes the triangle becomes too big, witch can be very hard to handle. You can use the calculator on acidome.ru to get the angles to project one using frq. 2, class II, and I think in this case the "cross" symetry works better. (Link: acidome.ru/lab/calc/#1/2_Class_II_Piped_D100_2V_R2_beams_50x25 ).
Amazing. I might even do it. Any ideas on how to keep water out in a greenhouse version of this? Something consistent and reliable that doesn’t involve silicone sealant?
Looking forward to receiving drawings
hi Paul, the way simply create smple geo-domes is amazing :-) i'd like the plans please. btw what drawing program do you use? thank you
This is great! I want to make this from aircrete.
I Love this Paul. I’m not sure which I would like plans for it takes me so long to decide because I really like both. I’d like to use the WangerFlange on it as well. How big a space can I get with this simple plan? Many thanks for you time and efforts. K
Simplest dome build I ever saw..would love the plans...can it be built with Wagner connectors.?
I would love to have the plans with the modified base
Also, would it do well if I did a steel tube structure and covered it with Marine Shirk-wrap?
Hey Paul, owesome solutions. May I get the plans, please? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I wonder what the bevel angles would be if I use precious plastics to create triangle life sized legos ?
Hi Paul. I'm currently building a duck house dome using Stromberg Starplates. Next project is a greenhouse. I would love the dodecahedron plans.
