Geodesic Dome Connector
A precision-fabricated hub connector system, designed to make geodesic dome construction achievable from standard timber struts.
The connector is the hardest part of any dome build. Getting the angles right, the tolerances tight, and the structure strong enough to carry a covering — all without requiring specialist tooling to assemble. This system solves that.

The connector — from drawing to dome
On the design
Geodesic geometry is unforgiving. Every angle must be precise or the dome won’t close. The connector system was engineered so that each hub arrives pre-cut at the correct angles, the struts slot in, and the structure rises without guesswork. Repeatable, scalable, strong.
