baryyhunter - Yes, you have correctly outed me on my screen name and the source of the stately pleasure dome! That line is burned into my brain for some reason. The formality of the language of the poem doesn't match its content. I envision a classic, if not formal, structure, but intended for leisure and recreation, so "stately pleasure dome" sort of sums it up. I suposse fiberglass would work, but I prefer more traditional materials.

djswan - Undoubtedly cold molded would work, but it would be a lot of work, and I would still have the framing problem. I don't think the building inspector is going to sign off without framing.

Kiley - Eureaka! You have found it! I think steel framing is the way to go. The link you posted looks promising. If you or anyone else knows of an alternative source for curved steel framing like this, I would love to know about it and compare prices. I will post photos when I have them, but don't hold your breath - it may be a couple of years. Thanks, Kiley!
