Thanks for the pointers Steve. I like your approach as well, but I'm more concerned with building a FULLY Folding Hexayurt. In my past 2 years setting it up and bringing it to the Playa I've done it as such: Hinge all wall panels together. This leaves me with still having to hinge 3 outer hinges similar to your setup. Then for the roof I bring it in two halves that are also pre-hinged. Thus at the playa it's a little easier to manage, but still also requires 6 tape anchors to be created (3 strands of tape from corner to corner over the top).
My problem with this is that it still requires a bit of tape to be used every setup, as well as removal when you get home to prepare for next year. I'd love to eliminate this by attempting to do this design: http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_playa#The_Folding_Hexayurt (The Fully Folding Hexayurt). I have yet to see one of these at Burning Man and am curious if anyone's tried it and how they've staked it down / tested it against the harsh environment at Burning Man. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
