How are the hard panels added to the Ekodome frame?

Ekodome hard-panel assembly process.

Hard panels are added by centering them between the triangle struts, after the underlying frame is complete.  Between two adjacent panels, a strut "cap" is placed and secured down with screws.  This "sandwiches" the panel into position. Rubber seals, on both the lower strut and upper strut cap, help to seal out the water.

In this video, the CEO and founder, Sinan Halic, and Fatih, a structural engineer, add hard-panels to the 22' Terra Original Series Ekodome frame.
