Professional Decking Foundation for 6m Geo Dome Build
Armed with our detailed decking plans, Stu constructed a professional platform to support his 6m geo dome. The main deck is strategically raised to ensure the outer cover hangs over the edge, maintaining 100% waterproofing – crucial for Victoria’s variable climate. He also built a stunning wrap-around deck positioned slightly below for additional outdoor living space.
This foundation approach not only provides excellent structural support for the geodesic dome but also creates valuable outdoor entertainment areas that significantly enhance the guest experience.

What Stu Says About His 6m Geo Dome Build
“Working with Ryan and Yurt in the Dirt has been great. Building is what I do for a living, so I enjoyed bringing this vision to life on our property and had some good fun doing it. I definitely had 1 or 2 moments where I’d be calling up to figure out which bracket went where or double-check before I cut a hole in the wrong spot… but all in all, it’s been a success, and the result speaks for itself.”
