Standing the Dome

After we assembled all five of the pentagons. We had to fix the last two Pentagons together. To do this we had to lift the frame and the curve it into the circular shape we needed.

After the last two pentagons where fixed, we then had to make the structure more sturdy by adding timber to the tops of the pentagons. We also need to fixed more timber members to the base for more support but decided to leave it until we have finsihed fixing the top pentagon and the cladding in case we need to access the dome internally.
