Dome Roof
Many facets help this well-rounded roof attain its shape
The dome roof has the shape of a half-sphere and requires many facets in its framework to get its rounded shape.
This dome roof has a flare at the bottom. Shingles work well on round surfaces, since they can overlap and conform to the curves.
Construction of a metal dome roof is relatively simple: Pie-shaped sections are stacked and shipped, then bolted together at the job site.
