I missed BM this year and that is a sore topic as I am sure most understand. 2 years ago I built a 6 foot high 6 foot stretch with honeycomb cardboard and my primary tape pre-playa was low cost heavy duty paper tape. All folding seams and all edges. The roof was one continuous piece and the walls were 2 parts.
This year I want to use white walled cardboard and tape to avoid thermal transfer. I am also looking at beehiving or hex-papering several hex's together. Has anyone done there tie downs for zero clearance meaning no guide wire trips. Also has anyone overlapped hexs and removed redundant walls? I wanted to write up the success and failures of my honeycomb yurt but I never had the time. Oh and bi-direcional tape on both my previous yurts was shot by the end of the week. I am considering the tie down option. Has anyone ever used medical wrap that is re-uasble and stretchy for the connection of roof and walls. Three wraps around stretched tight with it anchored to itself and security taped should probably work. One idea I don't remember reading here on this set of ideas that I saw 2 years ago is tie downs. Instead of rope you use tie downs that you would for your car for your corners. It make tightening daily easier too.
