Some time ago I did some calculations for DIY dome, based on frame and canvas approach (geodome)....
For 2.5m diameter, this looks like in the file attached.
2V geodome requires 96 metres of rods, quite a number...
I was thinking of using Al or steel pipes Fi=10-15mm, pressed at the edges with some kind of jig build around hidraulic press, even to build single dome one has to organize things like for running production :-)
