INBOX: “I found an old file on building geodesic domes and realized your Metal Pipe would be perfect. Just flatten the ends, drill holes, and bolt together equilateral triangles. Great for a greenhouse or playhouse—use parachute fabric for a light, weather-resistant cover. You’d just need metal hubs and maybe a good YouTube tutorial!” Crystal from Facebook
