Setting up our 30′ Playa Dome for the first time

Yesterday we setup our 30′ Playa Dome for the first time.  We selected the Berkeley Marina again, since it’s a nice windy place, and we wanted to see what that would be like.  It took 4 of us (Grant, Julian, Drea, and Gabriel) about an hour and a half to get it fully assembled.  We broke 4 of the supports (they supply extras thankfully) and we’ll replenish those before we take the dome to Burning Man.  One key learning was to use the outer connector pieces for the circular support level instead of inner — the circumference was too tight to get the final piece in.  We’ll be at Burning Man in 1 week!!!
