[[File:Recycling-Code-20.png|thumb|right]]Corrugated paper is made of 80% recycled paper and biodegrades without residue. The finished dome can be covered with fabrics or other natural materials like straw for enhanced weather resistance and added insulation. | [[File:Recycling-Code-20.png|thumb|right]]Corrugated paper is made of 80% recycled paper and biodegrades without residue.

Arch structures and especially steel arch structures are a common sight in the US. Nowadays they are mostly used in agriculture as they are lightweight, easy to erect and cost effective. There are many companies which produce and sell steel arch buildings as prefabricated kits.

The arch is structurally easier to construct than the dome and can be used as starting point for more elaborate structures or on its own. Compared to the dome the segments of the arch are experiencing less stress than the bent segments of the dome. | The arch is structurally easier to construct than the dome and can be used as starting point for more elaborate structures or on its own.
