: Hi Rehd

: From your description, I couldn't tell whether you already have it, but
: diagonal roving should be easy enough to weave through the frame and make
: it much more sturdy. It could be removable so the dome would still be
: transportable.

: Here's a picture from the ultralight geodesic boats site that just shows the
: roving used to stiffen their hulls.

: I'm sure I saw a hoop-house with something similar but couldn't find it.

Hi Peter

An interesting idea... I'll have to go read up on that and see how it would work for me on this project.. Thanks
