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.
