Introduction The Littlewood Geodesic shelter was designed as an alternative to conventional and metal buildings . Other sizes are available. A geodesic design uses a minimal amount of material for a large interior volume and floor space.
Geodesic domes are inherently rigid and create a high open ceiling.
Advantages of the geodesic design include a large floor area with no obtrusive posts or walls supporting the roof. The high open arch ceiling allows working inside on projects that would otherwise have to be done outside. Machinery and equipment can be extended and materials over 12 feet in length can be handled easily within it's 39' diameter and 16.5' height. Geodesic domes present certain dilemmas that make them unsuitable for some applications. For other purposes though, they are ideal.
