      Creating the shelter:

      Creating the open side in the dome:
      • Build the full 4.8m dome as you would normally.
      • Try to get the base ring as circular as you can, to help with the fit of the cover.
      • Secure the base hubs that will still be retained after the open section is removed - the structure will be weak with the base being secured!
      • Remove the hubs and sticks whilst supporting the horizontal stick at the top of the opening.
      • Insert the two long sticks at either side of the opening.


      Orientating and attaching the cover:
      • Open the cover out and find the obvious 'corners'.
      • Attach these to the hubs at the bottom left and right of the opening.
      • Another good check is that the hooks in the base are attached with elastic rather than woven (non stretchy) webbing.
      • Next connect the topmost hook, then the next pentagon out.
      • Then connect the hooks to the base ring.
      • Finally connect the remaining hooks.
      • At some points you'll need one person to push from the inside, whilst someone on the outside connects the hook into the eyelet.
