large radomes
(OP)
Hello. I am in need of a rather large radome. It needs to cover a horizontal flat surface, so it does not need to be a full sphere or even half a sphere. It is more like covering a tennis court, except the area is round. Anyway, it needs to be about 30' across, and only high enough to shed rain and most snow. I could use fiberglass or an inflatable radome. I have a old quote for inflatable, and it is quite expensive (I am thinking of making my own). Does anybody know of any companies I could talk to or have any ideas or experience? Thanks for any suggestions.
RE: large radomes
You could try a company called Complas who are in the UK.
Complas Ltd : +44 (0)1993 778881
They are part of the Chelton Group, I am sure they have a website but I don't have any details.
However this place is not going to be cheap, but then I suppose that depends on your idea of cheap really!

Try a very large sheet of visqueen or polyethylene.
