Oh yeah, Fiskars are the bomb-diggity! They're the bees knees LOL...always loved that euphemism cause it really makes no sense to me.
My big dome is made out of 3/4" EMT (electric metal tubing...also called conduit...it's the stuff they hide wires in in buildings). And there are a bunch of websites I know that manufacture/sell greenhouse domes. If you want, I'd be happy to share some resources for you/others to check out.
I just really love the way that geodesic domes look...the vast open spaces, strength and modernity/timelessness (even though Buckminster Fuller designed the first ones in the 1950's!) are truly inspiring to me. Plus they are very efficient, maximizing internal volume per building materials, require no load-bearing walls on the inside and they have less surface area to lose heat/AC through.
