Despite that the geodesic dome was showcased for the first time at the 1954 Triennale in Milan, the mister R. Buckminster Fuller's invention found its way into the everyday life. An example is this home made geodesic shaped garden pavilion.
Under this prefab structure there was enough space for 3 lounge chairs, a small picnic table with 2 benches and a bbq.
Shelter doesn't even require a level area; the six concrete piers compensate for irregularities, Roof is waterproofed with aluminium-tape flashing. White primer is included in the package, the owner then selects the desired finish colors.
Shelter is made of 19 lightweight wood triangles. Each one is covered with plastic-faced plywood. Structure is erected from the rim toward the center, a section at a time. Two-by-fours shore it up until it becomes self supporting. Dome is 23 feet in diameter, 12 feet high; it covers 365 sqft.
