We are building an all hexayurt camp at Burning Man this year. (yay!) We are collectively fixated on the idea of putting 6 of them together, in a "circle" by connecting them each on one side and creating a courtyard in the middle that is just for us. (One yurt will have doors on the outside and the inside, opening into the courtyard, the others all open from inside the courtyard.....)
We want to cover the courtyard, ideally in a dust-proof manner, but every design we come up with starts to seem like a solar cooker. We've tossed around: 1) make an extra roof. Secure it by resting it on top of the pvc tubes on the outside of the outer yurts, putting the pvc tie downs for the extra roof on the inside of the extra roof. loop the inner and outer pvc pieces together, and tie down the extra roof per usual. put "windows" in the courtyard roof with air filters in them. 2) using a tall pvc pole, basically spread a tarp / parachute type thing over all of them and seal down with tape etc..... 3) screw it, just do a shade cloth cover and call it good.... anyone have any great ideas about how to create a cool, dust-free (ish) covered courtyard in a HexaComb cluster? :) ____________________ Personal Pontifications @ Alyssa Royse.com Tiny Tidbits on Twitter @alyssaroyse -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
