Constructing the Skeleton

Our first pentagon

First finished pentagon

We started the process of constructing the skeleton by laying out timber size A in a pentagon shape. Where the timber needed fixing together, we screwed the recycled pipe to the timber using power drills. Timber size B was the used for the internal parts of the pentagon to create the triangles where we fixed the five ends in the centre on an angle. We the repeated this process for the next five pentagons which we fixed to one another. We had to make the five triangles that create the wall joined because the pentagons meet together on the middle two pipe connectors.
