I am in Ahhh! What an incredible feat of personal accomplishment! I have so many questions. Did you win a lottery to be able to afford the time and materials to construct this amazing treehouse dome? I can imagine the entire project had to cost 10's of thousands of dollars. Thank you for sharing! Bravo!
HEy, thank you for the nice comment! No lottery, just a lots of planning my time! Also i got sponsors, if you watch the end i mention them. that helped keeping the costs down a bit.
@@joakimmarijanovic9910 You have one video on YT. How did you get sponsors with little to no audience? I'm just trying to connect the dots and understand how you were able to build this marvelous project?
Awesome project! It looks amazing, and I'm very impressed with your ability to build it in a garage and then move it to location. I hope your investment pays off. It seems ideal as a short-term rental. My biggest concern with the covering method is the leak potential. It seems you are relying primarily on the "glue" rather than a monolithic coat or over-lapping tiles. Having the under-wrap as a backup water protection with a drainage plane is wise. I suspect the failure point will be at the largest window set, where the drainage plane seems to terminate. It may pool water there, and work its way up the wrap or into the windows. How is this system working out for you thus far?
Hi Josh, and thaks for the comments. Insightful - regarding the joints and sealants, but it is working. I used a lot of sealant around the windows and above the windows, and on the other parts i rely on the under wrapping....no leaks on that parts, as i overlapped with at least 20cm. Had some minor leaks around the windows after the first year, witch i sealed a bit better. Glad yuo liked the project! Are you building a dome yourself? Have a nice day! //
Получается, что для уменьшения трудоемкости отделки как внутри так и снаружи имеет смысл собирать сначала полную сферу. Перекатывать, чтобы работать в удобном положении и без лестниц. Потом лишнее разобрать, и оставшиеся детали использовать в следующей конструкции.
You can really see why it takes so long to build geodesic domes. None of that standardised building material suits the geometry. Well done then even more.
Hi! Used www.acidome.ru for the dome....i planned the rest myself. Took 6 monhts to plan before the construction started and along the way Thanks for likeing the video and please share it! Best //
I also had thought about a Tree House / It wasn't a " Geodesic Dome " But is was a mix of Victorian and Crafts-man Style Architectures ! I saw an Oak Tree with a 8 to 10 foot Diameter and Large Boughs I had Pondered the Idea of using a Seat Belt Type Material For Suspension ( No more then 2 feet above the Floor ) and Steel Cables at the same place for back up ! I think it would come out every nice ! / Now Back to the Video !
It is shown in the video when he made it, but you can't really notice it when it is finished, because it looks like the side of the dome like the rest of it. It is a geo-dome door, in other words it follows the same technique and matches the structure. It is just like a soccer ball, but a few panels open up like a door.
I have been looking for instructions on what angles to cut to make a structure like yours. I just can't get the math. Could you post the angles for the cuts and a cut sheet? It would make a world of difference . Great build and vide :D
All In all a " Very Good Video " ! I Never thought That Anybody could produce a Video approaching an Hour that I would find the Time to watch ! But This one was so / The Music was Excellent too !
Amazing job on executing and also the video? will you be able to share the 3d file for reference? I am confused how the triangle angles inward to form the curve shape
He had to cut degrees off the boards the long way so when the triangles fit together they lean inwards and are flush. It's an insane amount of accuracy over many cuts. It's why NOONE builds like this. It's like cabinet making or japanese joinery level accuracy but for every single triangle!!!
I've made many geodomes for different purposes but your steel shell has suddenly offered a solution to a problem I've never really thought about. Thanks for sharing, your dome looks amazing and has been built very well
Hello, and congratulations for your work which is done professionally, I have a question for you it would be possible to have your design plan because I would be interested in making a shelter for my exploitation in kind.
OK, that's great. Now, in the 2 years it took you to build this, how many times did you get off the project and go with your wife and watch the sunset, or have a picnic? I see 1:21:50 you have something that finally looks like a picnic.
Hej! Nu har det gått 4 år sen jag/vi drog ut den ur landan....och den håller fortfarande ihop, eftersom du undrar. Jag förstår inte riktigt din fråga ang "låda". Jag har ju reglar, isolering, ytter och innermembran, gips, lekt, tak. Har du planer på att bygga en själv? MVH Joakim
@@joakimmarijanovic9910 Jag undrar om du skulle föredra.stt vi i en dome mot för ett vanligt hus (låda). Jo jag vill bygga egen egentligen. 12m diameter. V3-V4.
Hi! Because i live in a climate that has very rough and rapid wether changes/ + it took 2,5 years to complete, and the close proximity to the house and barn! www treehousedome.com
This is amazing and inspiring. How big is the dome? How did you get the info on all the specific pieces? I am researching domes and i love what you have done! A lot of love and hard work has gone into it. I must say this is the nicest little dome i have ever seen!
Excellent job! I am planning to build similar to yours. what is the diameter of the dome and how long the each side of the triangles? I am confused some people use identical triangles and some use 3-4 different type of triangles. what is the reason? Thank you very much
Hey Thanx for the comment! Number of triangles/sides depends of how round you want your dome. Take for instance a v2 dome, where you could use just one type of trianglel. In this dome i had 11 different type of triangle....and 33 different sides. Thiis one is 6m in diam. Good luch with your build and pleas update me with the progress! Best
Thank you for the comment! And good luck with the construction and make sure you get the camera out, perhaps you will be editing your video in the future! Best //
I was impressed when i seen the metal sheathing because that is a better choice for water damage resistance on the structure. But i thought you were going to weld the seams, but that is if it is thick enough sheathing to do a solid seam weld, and i don't know the reason you didn't paint it before it rusted. Great job understanding all those compound angles and stuff, very nice job.
It is supposed to rust, corten steel! Sure, weld would be better, both is super tricky, and loads of job, since it is about 550m in total. The water layer is the black layer outside the insulation, tar paper...or in this case its like a goretex film! Are you building a dome yourself?
welding those triangles defining together a 3d geometry is definitely not a solution. You need to accommodate for thermal expansion of the steel and thus the need for a joint.
Amazing work and dedication. Thanks for sharing. I probably missed the part in the video where you might have mentioned total hours spent on the project?
Hey man! Thanx for the nice comment. Yes, in the pre....rolling text it says 4000 hours approx! Please like and share with good peple! Soon this video has been seen 10K times, really great moment! Have a nice day! Best
This us one of the best build adventures I have seen on youtube. I enjoyed the hand pan music as well ! I will have to if there is away to get one of those somehow. I have been building on mine for the past year. My eife passed away last year so I took a break from the large boulder structure, ( it is about 85% finished) to complete the dome 2 story cabin. Your workmanship is fantastic. Your wife will be very pleased. All the best to you and your family! Wulfy
Its treefibre insulation....there are so many different cuts in this dome! 11 different types of triangles in this spec of dome! so 33 different types!
It is not just needing to know the length size, but the angles, and there is compound angles. And with 11 different triangles you will have multiple different lengths and angles.
