The Pod: Geodesic Structures

The Pod - Folding geodesic dome shelters

Really like some of the designs of easy-setup geodesic domes on this site, except I'm not terribly confident in the materials they used for construction.

The designers were obviously going for the eco-friendly materials for building -- they use recycled paperboard which is sandwiched between a protective layer. They think they will last an average of 3 years in an outdoor environment.....which I think is too short.

In addition, the connections between the panels appears to be slightly cheesy -- first you tab and into slot b, then you TAPE it in place. Tape? Your kidding.

Still like the concept as a design structure...

Now I want to know the price!!
