@spiral: If you are using more than a roll of tape to set up your yurt you are doing a lot more taping than you need to. I never use more than a roll to finish setting up mine.
The tape cost and waste are expenses I'd like to design out of my Hexayurt, and I have some ideas about how to do it that I hope to have built into a design before this year's Burn. -Tripod > Spiral Syzygy <[email protected]> Jan 27 04:08PM -0600 > ^<https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&view=js&name=main,tlist&ver=CKbPYpt__Vc.en.&am=!diUD_x4pKA37BTpibrQ2BCWM7gLRU4kf4sES1giF19IbyY90tR8IJy4&fri#12dcd33db57559f2_digest_top> > > The cost issue is relevant for sure.
