	A Users Guide to Building a 22-ft Diameter 2V Geodesic Dome: A Construction Manual for Anyone
	Publication #: B-1387 Date Published: 08/31/2025 Publication Author(s): Jeff Edwards

Description:
This manual describes one method for the complete construction and assembly of a passive enclosed space/season extending 22 foot diameter 2V geodesic dome structure. This manual was created to provide instruction to all who have the interest and ability to build their own structure. Geodesic dome structures are perfect for challenging climates; they are sturdy, hold up to snow load, are wind and hail resistant, and are very useful in extending the season while allowing individuals to grow their own food.

Since 2018, the University of Wyoming Extension, in conjunction with the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, has been conducting geodesic dome build workshops throughout the state. We started this endeavor because we found that prefabricated kits can be very expensive, and the assembly instructions can be difficult to follow. Because we can’t be everywhere at once, we offer this manual for your use.
