Awesome idea! Instead of taping the edges, just wrap the joining edges, hook on the left, loop on the right, so to speak. In a perfect world (read bulk purchase) the ideal tape would be 4 inches wide base with a 1 inch wide hook or loop strip down the middle. This would bind and reinforce and join, all in one prep. Wall setup would be carefully join one corner, then tip-squeeze the edge together... move to next segment. I suspect I'd still want to tape the roof seams traditionally for waterproofing. One the other hand, I'd be tempter to make all the 8' walls 7' 9" so the roof would have a small but adequate eve to divert the rain (still tape the roof top seams) -- using the Velcro to join the roof and sides. This might even make it setup-able by one person (build roof on ground, lift up one wall and place and press one wall segment, repeat).
