What was another name for the globe theater?
Shakespeare described his theatre as "the wooden "O". (letter o) in the Chorus to Henry V. But he was probably talking about the Curtain theatre when he wrote those lines. It didn't matter anyway because most of the outdoor theatres were shaped like doughnuts including the Globe, Curtain, Theatre, Rose, Hope, and Swan. So Shakespeare's phrase isn't necessarily about the Globe at all and certainly never became a nickname for the Globe.

Why was the wooden o closed for a few years?
"The Wooden O" is not the name of a specific theatre. It's like asking whether the "restaurant with a kitchen" is closed. In point of fact all outdoor theatres in Shakespeare's day were made of wood, and most of them (following the successful design of James Burbage's "Theatre") were shaped like the letter O. This includes the Theatre, Curtain, Rose, Globe, Swan, and Hope theatres. The theatre in which Henry V was first performed was very possibly the Curtain, which would have been the first theatre described as "this wooden O". Occasionally all the theatres in London were closed as a health measure when there was an outbreak of plague, but these closures rarely lasted more than a couple of months. However, in the years 1592-1594 there was a long closure lasting more than a year which drove a number of the theatre companies into bankruptcy. The O-shaped theatres which were standing at that time were the Theatre, Curtain and Rose. Of course all theatres were closed in 1642 when the government banned theatrical performance. The O-shaped theatres left standing at that time were the second Globe and the Hope, both of which were subsequently demolished.

How was the globe theatre built?
very carefully It was, in fact, built from the timbers and lumber of the old, dismantled Theatre playhouse in Shoreditch, which was owned by the Burbages, and used by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the same company that occupied the Globe. It was a twenty-sided polygon, though it was often described as round, or as a "wooden O."
