building an in-expensive 800x800 roof
    #5781345 - 06/22/06 06:23 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

okay, so once again im back on the track of building a production facility for bio-diesel and i found a wonderful hole in the ground that i can use as a starting point for the production

its about 400 foot in diamiter and 125,663 square feet ~ 2.8 acres..

I want to build a framework of a roof or dome over the pit, and cover it with transparent layers of plastic, atleast 2 so that i can capture the suns heat.

I was looking at geodesic domes, but came across the concept of a space frame http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_frame.

is anyone here in construction? i was thinking that using electrical conduit with the ends flattened would be a possible way for build one of these space frames, but im not sure if that would work, or if somthig could be made cheaper...

anyone?

if you want to roof 3 acres, it's going to be really expensive no matter what you do. how big a roof do you actually need?
