I have R-max panels, like the ones from Home Depot, although I got mine from a local heating and cooling insulation company. I guess you could say they are more plasticy, kinda of like compressed foam, that has been dried out and is now hard. As for Bonnaroo, I will have to wait and see the weather report. I do not want to make any changes to the structure just yet. I do have a Quonset hut, the Monkey Hut, built out of PVC and a tarp and some rebar, I can put a tent under that and protect myself some from the sun and rain, and if is going to be wet that is what I might do. I think the benefit of coolness will be lost if it rains and the HY could become more of a trouble than should be in those wet conditions. If it is going to be sunny Bonnaroo will be introduced to the Hexayurt. I will share my experiences. For sure! The response is awesome Thanks!
