For the construction of the dome, after investigating further into our researched construction methods, we decided to use the PVC pipe method, as it would be the most cost effective and is relatively easy to construct. The construction method will be as dean outlined in his first post on the PVC pipe method and the window fixing will be by my explored method. Also, we will be using heat shrink wrap to seal the dome and waterproof it.

To briefly recap the construction:
-PVC pipe will be cut to the correct lengths for struts
-PVC pipe will be cut into small connector joints
-Holes will be drilled through the struts to prepare them to be connected with zip ties
-Zip ties will go through drilled holes to connect the pentagon sections of the dome
-After all struts are connected correctly, heat shrink wrap will be applied over the whole surface of the dome to make it water proof
-A portion of wrap will be cut where the window is intended to be placed
-Window pane will be slotted into the previously cut strips and screwed into place
-Silicon and a rubber strip will be used to seal the joins of the window
-More heat shrink will be screwed in place with the window and shrink to provide flashing.
