I produced and built this dome for storing stuff. Its 14.5 ft, (5m) across and 9ft (2.5m) tall. I used 1 inch foam insulation board (green) to skin it but one could easily use clear plastic tarps and make a very effective green house. It has withstood 2 winters of high winds and considerable snow load without any difficulty yet only takes a few hours to assemble by one person. The skin takes longer depending on the choice of covering. For more information google ziptie domes which is where I got the idea from.
