To prepare the ground



This stage can be done before or after preceding
It now will be necessary to choose a site and you are placed better than me to make this decision.
If you have the choice, prefer a shone upon site, sheltered of winds, with shade in summer, a beautiful sight... these councils will be certainly supperflus.
All the requirement of the zome will be put on a horizontal ground. Thus to arrange consequently.

1-site

 

To choose the center of the zome and plant a pile: it will be your reference.
Release a circle of approximately 2,80 m to 3 m of ray around; to level summarily with the need.
The support of the zome will be a punt forms out of wood or a slab concrete. It will position with the structure overflowing of 2 cm for the drainage.

2 Wooden platform



You will have to build something like that. Respect measurements above.
The posts can be posts of telephone in the center and the points of the hexagon. To check the level and to fix with the need. One nails above beams of approximately 10 X 10 to make the turn and to connect to the center and intermediaries to support the floor. If one must isolate, to nail by below what supporting insulator and protecting from the rodents (plate of against fine plate for example one will put insulator later)..

 

2 Concrete slab


To locate the site of the ends of the zome and to dig light foundations. To put a concrete bottom. Remesurer to locate a hexagon like below, to drive vertical metal stems with the angles and to connect them by a string.


To cement one or two lines of concrete blocks (10 cm to 20 cm broad) against the strings interior side, to check the level.
One can make the flagstone later but if it is carried out, the assembly will be more comfortable.
An insulator is better for a habitat, at least on 60 cm in perifery. The flagstone it even is out of concrete cement (traditional) but better out of natural lime + sand, or out of rammed ground, or light concrete with shavings, or hemp, or clay, it will be then insulating.
