I'm in Berkeley, have the classic Hexayurt but with 6' sidewalls and an arched front door. The only mods for this year are the addition of a sill-iron across the doorway to keep the two segments from spreading and/or getting out of alignment. The sill-iron will be taped to the wall from underneath (before assembly of course). The whole unit is packaged up as three two-piece sidewalls, plus two roof-halves taped up to unfold. Then I just have to add three pieces of tape to the sides, and one long piece across the top (while it's still on the ground).
Oh, and I'll be putting in a couple small windows in the upper sidewall using 24" x 8" Lexan inlayed and taped into the walls. -Oswego On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 3:24 PM, Tim Hohne <[email protected]> wrote: > That would be great.
