Wood Framed Geodesic Dome

Wood Framed Geodesic Dome

(OP)
I have a wood framed geodesic dome that needs to be re-sheathed.

Can all the existing sheathing on each facet be removed at once for the entire dome, or should each facet of the dome have the existing sheathing removed and then replaced one at a time?

RE: Wood Framed Geodesic Dome

Without knowing the specifics, I would assume that you may have a stability problem if you remove all the sheathing at once.

Thanks, frv.  Exactly what I was concerned about.
