I have an old duck pen that is constructed from 2 cattle panels formed into a vault. Over that there is hardware cloth. The base is structured from wood, as are the ends, which are made from hardware cloth.
Long story short, the ducks haven't used this in years, and I am now in need of a goat buck shelter. This would be great to convert into that goat buck shelter, and it seems like the fastest and most attractive and durable means to do this might be to wrap it in fabric and coat it with an acrylic cement coating. I would (at least temporarily, if not permanently) add some support beams on the interior to help hold the roof up. Everyone seems to use wood for these hypar structures and seems to use a more linear shape. Anyone use it with a vault? Anyone use it with metal instead of wood or bamboo?
The link is the general idea of what mine looks like but is not mine.
