In these pictures, the dome rests on a wooden ring of 15 segments. Round brackets attach each strut to the wood, holding the frame in place. Each 2"x4" is almost 3' long. I nailed the ends onto 15 posts. Each post sinks into a 3' deep hole filled with coarse gravel for drainage and solid support. The post hole digger (auger) looked like an earth anchor, with a twisted flange at the end, making it easy to remove earth for a hole about 5" in diameter. 13 of the posts are tree limbs, which I soaked in creosote to discourage insects. Two 4"x4" posts form the entrance, dug down into rounded steps. A linen canvas drape stapled around the edge blocks the glare from daylight, or lifts for ventilation.
Writing over the entrance says, "
NO SMOKING
NO DRINKING
IN WHOLEO PLEASE." A cashbox gathered a few donations. The best pay was the autograph books filled with notes, drawings, and poems.
