Watchouts!

The benefi ts that hubs bring to the build and adaptation
of domes comes at the cost of ultimate strength.
Domes built with hubs are still satisfyingly sturdy structures
which are more than strong enough for their intended uses;
eg fruit cages, garden rooms, chicken runs etc.
Tip:
Wearing gloves
minimises the risk.
Tip:
If a stick pops-out
just pop it back in!
Not a climbing frame Don’t suspend heavy objects
Hold sticks away
from the hubs
Keep fi ngertips away
from sockets
Stay on the outside
as you build
