(Stromberg's Starplates---use 2X2, 2X3, 2X4's---control size of geodesic by length of wood elements---up to ten feet each)

(Use Starplate geodesic as removable shoring to make a rectangular structure.)

Yo, Tvo ! Ya done it again - these are the solid, heavy
connectors I meant - now I'm not sure whether what I saw before was for a dome-shape or not .... can't
remember. But these *materials* *are* what I remember -
Thanks !

tvoivozhd---yeah, you saw a geodesic-dome---longer the wood elements (up to ten feet), the larger the buulding diameter---makes a good, strong greenhouse with some insulation value if you staple a plastic membrane inside and outside of the wood struts. for better insulation you should add (tie up on inside) a removable thermal blajket. As the posting mentions, you can use a Starplate geodesic as shoring to erect a rectangulat building accutately, then pull out the shoring.
