Craft dome

A quickly erectable dome shelter comprising:

• an extendible perimeter truss assembly having front, rear, and opposing lateral sides, the extendible perimeter truss assembly including a plurality of legs and a plurality of perimeter truss pairs of link members connected between adjacent legs;
• and
• a roof framework pivotally mounted to the extendible perimeter truss assembly so as to extend across the shelter in an extended raised, upwardly arching configuration, the roof framework movable between a lowered, collapsed configuration and the raised, upwardly arching configuration, the roof framework including a plurality of articulated peak truss assemblies each including a first and second pair of curved upper peak truss members and curved lower peak truss members, the curved lower peak truss members each including an upper curved portion and a straight bottom end portion extending from the upper curved portion;
• wherein the plurality of articulated peak truss assemblies include front side and rear side pairs of curved upper peak truss members and curved lower peak truss members, the bottom end portions of the front side and rear side lower peak truss members being pivotally connected to the extendible perimeter truss assembly.
