Hi Shannon, I can't speak from experience.. but from my math and from previous posts from more experienced folks, you need more (6) rolls if you use bifil tape to edge as well as do the assembly.
We edged with another tape (foil) to save money. Our calc's showed that edging would require 2-3 rolls of bi-fil and 2-3 rolls for assembly. We round up to be safe. But, this is our first year building a hexayurt, we'll be sad lil' campers if we come up short on tape. We're taking 3 rolls for assembly for a standard 8' yurt. I might panic and order one final roll in the final days, making our total 4. :) Hope that helps. -- peach On Aug 11, 11:11 pm, Shannon <[email protected]> wrote: > So, I just got done taping my edges and putting the 6 triangles together.
