3v 3/8 Standard Hubs

Very Easy to Manufacture.


5-way Red Hubs
6-way Blue Hubs
The Standard Hubs are used for geodesic greenhouses, sheds, swimming pool covers, and other standard dome designs.

  The Standard Hubs allows a Greenhouse to be covered with 1 layer of plastic on the outside of the dome.

 The Standard Hubs are the easiest Dome Hubs to manufacture.

Tools Needed to Manufacture the Standard Hubs: A Power Hand Drill and Carpenter's Hand Saw will work, but a Chop Saw and Drill Press makes manufacturing the hubs much easier.
