CHUGWATER – For those interested in learning how to build a geodesic dome greenhouse, the University of Wyoming Extension will offer a free four-day class in Chugwater starting Monday, Oct. 7.
Geodesic domes are a great option for Wyoming residents looking to extend the growing season and shelter their crops from snow, hail and wind, says UW Extension specialist Jeff Edwards, who leads dome construction schools across the state. These hands-on events are designed for individuals who would like to build their own dome from scratch—or who just want to learn something new.
UW Extension geodome schools cover each step of the construction process, from raw materials to a completed 22-foot structure outfitted with raised beds and an irrigation system. “You will learn all aspects of building a dome, including the safe use of tools, jigs, and the fabrication of parts and pieces,” says Edwards.
