Every rectangular panel on that page is a 4x8 panel. Evert triangle is a 4x8 panel cut from corner to corner.
Q: Are the base walls 6' tall? A: No. The base walls, as shown, are 4'. Q: What's the deal with bracing the roof? A: The roof isn't braced; although you'll need to add rope anchoring. Q: How do I attach the roof [to the walls]? A: If you use polyiso insulation boards, then you'll want to use the recommended 6" wide bidirectional filament tape. You'll also use it at every single seam. Q: What's the reality? A: It's the same as the regular hexayurt with one tall side. The tall side lets you use a full-height door instead of a 3' dog door.
