A bulkhead employs a substantially spherical dome having a periphery (20) and an apex (16) with an axis perpendicular to the dome at the apex. A first plurality of straps (12) emanate from a periphery of the dome on geodesics defined by a first pair of virtual poles beyond the periphery of the dome. A second plurality of straps (14) emanate from the periphery of the dome on second geodesics defined by a second pair of virtual poles beyond the periphery of the dome, wherein any overlap (18) on an individual strap in the first plurality of straps is singular to only one individual strap in the second plurality of straps.
