Dome hubs, dome assembly kits, and dome assembly methods
A dome hub includes a body and a spoke extending radially from the body. The spoke is configured to receive a dome strut. The spoke includes a strut band configured to receive an end of a dome strut. A dome assembly kit includes a strut and a hub. The hub retains the strut within a spoke without threaded fasteners when assembled. The spoke includes a strut band that receives an end of the strut when assembled. A dome assembly method includes using a hub with a spoke and a strut band. The method includes using a strut and inserting the strut into the spoke. The strut is retained within the spoke without threaded fasteners. The method includes sliding the strut toward a center of the hub until an end of the strut is positioned against the strut band.
