Geodesic Dome Hubs  

 

Our Geodesic Hubs are made to receive 1" (25mm) timber. We recommend pressure treated timber such as roofing batten to make fascinating and beautiful structures in the garden such as:

• Arbors
• Trellisworks
• Garden sculptures
• Greenhouses
• Tents

Construction is simple with Geodesic Hubs; no need for compound mitres, just cut timber to length and start assembling using the pre-drilled 3.5mm holes for screws or nails.

Our Geodesic Hubs receive standard 1" (25mm) construction timber.

All our Geodesic Hubs are made from 1mm CR4 mild steel, precision cut by laser and electoplated for increased durability.

Any size from 1"x1" or larger can be used. For structures requiring additional strength, two Geodesic Hubs can be used, above and below the intersection, but you must use 2"x1" or larger timber.

Standard construction timber is typically cut to sizes slightly smaller than as labeled; 25mm timber is generally approximately 22mm - our hubs are designed to accommodate this variation. Any frequency and size and type of geodesic dome or sphere can be made using Geodesic Hubs.

If you need larger hubs to take 2" 50mm construction timber then please contact me, we can provide these as well.

Geodesic Hubs are available in 5 and 6 way hubs to make the pentagons and hexagons, you may want 4 way hubs for the bottom row where the dome intersects with the ground. You can make these from the 6 way hubs by folding back 2 sides out of the way.

If you are unsure about how many hubs you need or if you need some help with the lengths of the struts then please contact me and I can assist you with this.
