Hi all, So I can't lie.. I've been a lurker here for a long time. I first brought a hexayurt to the Playa in 2010 and it was FABULOUS. I had then brought it to the Playa again in 2011! Kudos to Vinay and everyone else who has made this project what it is today. I can't express the full extent of my gratitude!
I do have a question though. Has anyone out there in the wild actually made a fully folding 8 foot hexayurt and brought it to the playa, staked it down and had it survive? I'd imagine this would have been easy in 2011 (considering there was NO dust storms), but earlier years would have at least been put to the test. My premise is, I'm trying to eliminate all the prep and cleanup work of the Hexayurts. Currently I do a Camp Danger style method, and when I get home I have to use a hot air gun to remove all the hinged tape, then use Goo Gone cleaner and clean all the edges so they can be taped again. Although this does work, its a bit of a pain and it still does require some setup at the Playa. In 2012 I'm planning on bringing a big box truck which could fit a 12'x8' footprint for the fully folding hexayurt. I'm just curious if anyone's done this before? The main thing I'm concerned about is staking it down. I was thinking about building tape anchors into the fully folding yurt at the center of each roof piece. Of course this wouldn't go all the way over, but I don't think that's necessary tbh. I was also thinking of just going for the rope halo, but the problem I see is the main pain points of this structure are where it folds (hence a tape anchor at each center of each roof piece would be RIGHT at the pressure point). I should note I already have all the beveled angles on my yurt. From my understanding, if I follow the folding yurt guide Vinay posted, I'd only have to tape 2 wall edges at the playa! This would be amazing! Anyone done something like this? Comments? Potential Issues? :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
