Can you build a yurt frame for $70? Price it all out.

A > frame pretty much eliminates most of those benefits. Not at all. The stick frame ensures that the hexauyurt will remain standing for a long time. I mean if you are talking a temporary "party" like Burning Man, then yeah I guess tape is the only way to go. It fits right in with rampant throwaway society. No biggie. A wood frame like mine weighs 168 pounds. It can also pack flat. If you can pack an extra person, you can pack a frame like this. Of course, for just one time BM happy camping and fluff uses like that it's "overkill". I'm trying to take this a step further. It's way outside the box of Burning Man I guess. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
