A 2V Geodesic Dome can be constructed using many different materials and methods, from timber, a metallic form of tubing, pvc piping or even treated cardboard.  Recycled Timber can be a relatively cost effective and environmentally sustainable material for construction of Geodesic domes.  To construct a 2V Geodesic Dome using Timber is to make a series of hexagonal and pentagonal blocks out of a laminated timber (to increase strength and reduce the blocks likeliness to split).  These Blocks need to be made to have the same depth as the struts being attached to them, i.e. if the strut is 90mm x 40mm the hexagonal and pentagonal blocks need to have a depth of 90mm and each attachment face on the blocks are to be 90mm x 40mm.  Attach Hinges to the base of each block to attach to each strut.  Using Struts of two different sizes, start constructing the dome from the ground up, using longer struts at the base and a four sided block referenced in the notes connected between each strut. Continue building up by the attached hinges to base of each block to attach and swing the struts into place then a large screw can be drilled into the top to fix it permanently. Each strut has been made with a slight angle to help create a flawless joint to each block and to help create the form of the geodesic dome.   A covering can easily be attached as a rebate can be made in the struts for glass or ply-wood panelling to be added, the structure can then be made waterproof by appropriate flashing and sealing. 

The Dimensions for Each Strut are as follows:

 -30 x Strut A (short strut): 550 mm long with an angle of 15.86 degrees at each end.
-35 x Strut B (long strut):620 mm long with an angle of 18 degrees at each end.
-10 x Hexagonal Blocks
-6 x Pentagonal Blocks
-10 x Four sided blocks for the base of the structure
