Hello Hexayurters :D this year I had an hexayurt on the playa and now I want to build one made of 2X4, plywood, with real weather protection such as tyvex, shingles, etc...
Overall it is not that complicated, build 8 framed walls that are 8ft long by 6ft width, 2X4 beams spaced 16 inches. Same thing with the roof, pre fabricate and put the shingles on it then assemble it on the spot. Now here are the questions :D 1- How do you square off the walls? Do you slant the 2X4 inward in order to have a tight fit? 2- How do you put the roof on the top of the walls??? It's has to weight a LOT more than insulation panels! 3- Will the roof be strong enough for me to climb on the top of it in order to put the tar paper and shingles? I am sure that I will have more questions later, right now I will be looking for google sketchup plans to start with :D Oh and the hexayurt will be a permanent structure on my 40acres, sitting on a deck and at 3800ft of elevation so I also have to think of the snow weight! Metal roof anyone? Thanks!! -- Fabien -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
