Here is the final product of my thatch love hut and it is made from Mexican fan palm leaves. Still need to make a box for when a lady comes to visit this boy though.

What is that around the bottom? Is the round table frame in the bottom?

Yep one of the big ones that is perforated. I have seen some excellent uses for them. They are relatively light weight for their construction too. Though they would not be good for rain protection they would be excellent predator and sun proof. I believe the perforaton on them is about fifty percent.

Also Some of them come made of fiberglass those would be an excellent roof. Parabolic dishes are very interesting things too. I saw one once mounted in the ceiling of a restaurant so as to look up into the curve and it was painted with desert scenes of night and day as you looked around it. Sitting under it was a very very interesting sound effect kind of like being under a sound magnafying glass.

Yes the round table frame is at the bottom. At the top I bent wood to make hoops that are tied on with bailing string from hay. The brown band along the bottom is from a bamboo table runner that I had in my shed that was just sitting collecting dust. I thought it gave it more of a finished look. This was built in part of one of my gardens so I wanted it to kinda be fun, not just a cage.

Ohhhhh cool! Thanks for posting this. I see these for free all the time. My husbands parents have one they have been trying to get rid of for some time. Never thought about it as a dome.

Well, I just have to say that I am in love with this design.
