Here's an alternative to expensive dome structures, for
chicken tractors or greenhouses, or bases for other
building, quick, easy, fun.

Sorry, this should work.
It's pretty economical if you just get the hubs, and
quick if they sell you the connecting poles.
The plants are requesting cover to extend the growing
season, and shade to protect in the heat of summer.
Don't have a garden this year, but am preparing for
next year, grow domes seem a reasonable solution.
For a quick, inexpensive thin shell concrete (which you
can air up and build up for a stronger shelter), try
Aircrete Harry. He sells & gives plans for a tyvek
balloon you can do yourself. Lots of YouTube's for
details.
The new fashion for domes seems to be two, one upon the
other with insulation in between. This (from what I
understand) prevents condensation, etc. Both Tie domes
and Aircrete Harry cover it on their sites.
Check out styrocrete (3 parts styrofoam-1 part
concrete) for insulation. Styrocrete YouTube's
available, with suggestions to get the styrofoam free
for recycling.

I revisited Aircrete Harry's site and was very
disappointed that he has monetized *to hundreds of
dollars!* almost every aspect of his operation. I no
longer recommend it for that reason, he has
substantially changed the character of his operation.
