So last year I built an 8 foot hexayurt. I have no idea the final cost. I think it was around $500.00. That includes the tape, tape and more tape, Thermax sheets, rope, and tarp. So how much did yours cost?
Part 2 - since fire issues came up with the building materials I am looking at making a new smaller Hexayurt. This time I am keeping track of what I did and what it cost and how to do it so others can duplicate. My Information so far Building - 6 foot stretch Hexayurt with 6 foot walls. Building out of Cardboard(Honeycomb Pad). Ideally I am painting the outside and Mylaring the roof I might Mylar the whole thing. The Building Material - Honeycomb Pad (48" X 40" X 1") - Why not 48" X 96" - cost >From calculations I will need 20 sheets to build the 6' stretch at 6' wall length. I calculated a 8 ft Hexayurt(6' chop top version not 8 foot) will take 36 of these. These panels with shipping range from $12.00 to $18.00 each Mylar will be between $30 and $70 depending on thickness and coverage on the Hexayurt I have not research paint yet I have researched additives for fire resistance - $10 extra per gallon No idea about the glue for the mylar my guess is $8 a can for spray adhesive I have tons of Bifilament tape except I am worried about fire issues. Any test on fire treated cardboard? That is it for now. I hope to create a spreadsheet and some paper dolls to help others in this process. Has anyone explored Velcro or legos? I am asking about joining walls together for a more portable solution.
