right! The H12 was 1" & H15 1 1/2" accounting for increased width.

With regards to what your dimensions might be:
The thickness (or height of the yurt panel tarped sandwich) or
dimensions *you* will have will depend on how thick *your* panels are,
and _how many panels_ you use for your design.
My H13 had thirteen 1" thick panels. Add double filament taped hinges
and you start to push past 13". Add two 1/2" plywood (4'x8') boards
wrapped in a tarp and you're probably getting between 15" and 16"
realistically. Put that on a roof rack and it's sitting even higher
off the top of the car (assuming you end up shipping it that way).
Building a yurt in Reno will be a bitch logistically. Your first task
would be to check to see if Home Despot has the materials you need
because if they don't, then this option becomes bogus. But, if they do
have materials, maybe you can convince them to allow you to use a
corner of one of their warehouses or something to build it in.
Wouldn't hurt to ask. All you need to do is cut some polyiso panels
and tape the hinges, that's all you're doing. I waited till I got to
the playa to make a window in my yurt, however that resulted in more
moop there than at home where I built it. It looks like there are 3
HD stores in Reno (and there are other cities nearby as well, i.e.
Sparks). I would think between the 3 of them, even at this late hour,
you'd be able to find what you need.

* (775) 674-2900 2955 Northtowne Lane Reno NV
* (775) 851-9600 6590 South Virginia St Reno NV
At this late in the game, it'll be hard to find a yurt this late to
buy or rent. I sold mine as far back as March. So even though that's
the preferred option, I'd say it's less likely than finding yurt
materials at Home Despot right now.
Some of you may cringe at the thought but, seeing how close BM is now,
I'd say you may have to consider other alternatives. If you can't make
getting materials and building the yurt happen in Reno, I'd look at
cheap RV prices right now. I saw a winnebago (that ran!) the other
day and sold for $300 on craigslist. Granted it had a leaky tranny
and it was from the 60's but so what at that price! Another one just
sold for $850 in the last couple days here in the bay area. Go in on a
i.e. $1000 RV between 4 people, do the math.
You can find several on CL for under $1000 right now, and plenty for
under $5000, even less than $3000. Granted that may be out of your
budget but, if you go in on it with several other people from i.e.
your Sacred Spaces crew, it might turn out to be the best way to go.
If you do look at this option, I'd look at including Sacramento as
well as Reno (even the bay area) in your RV/trailer search.
And I'm willing to bet you're not the only person in your predicament
within your circle of BM contacts. Likewise there are cheap trailers
for sale as well on CL. Even if you have a small car, slap a trailer
hitch on your car and that becomes a doable option as long as the
trailer is a small one. Speaking of your Sacred Spaces crew, I'd be
talking to them right now as well to see what
options/assistance/solutions they might offer you. It's not what you
know, it's who you know.
Or rent a pickup with a trailer hitch in Reno and then you don't have
to worry about the size of the trailer. Or find a friend who already
has a trailer hitch who's in your predicament as well.
If it's too late to make the yurt happen, there are lots of options
still, you just have to be open to them and willing to make them happen.
Good luck.

hmmmm
I put one H12 & one H15 into my 4 x 8 trailer along with 3 or 4
sheets 1/2" ply. Fit nice & snugly with just enough room for a
milk carton to keep it all from shifting! The back gate wouldn't
fit back in, but a couple strong truck hitches & some buffering
materials kept everything tight & safe.

I'm heading out to the playa on the 18th. I live in Reno and
I was planning on building a hexayurt next week (if I get my
shit together). I have a full size truck I'm taking out
there. I'm up for if u wanna build one here and I can help
transport it out. Not sure how much room 2 yurts would take
up. I may have a possibility of borrowing a small utility
trailer. When are you headed to the playa and what days would
you have available to work on it?

Short explanation & request: The hexayurt I built in
Asheville, NC can't be transported to Burning Man. I'll
need to build another in Reno. (Or San Fransisco)
Complicating factor: I won't have a vehicle to lug

Alternative request: Does anyone in Reno (Or San
Fransisco) have a hexayurt I can buy or rent for Burning Man?
More fun explanation & request:
Greetings & salutations from Asheville, NC. Home of
delicious beer, tree-covered mountains, and a large freak
community.
I find myself in an embarrassing hexayurt emergency.
Embarrassing because I thought I had planned for every
contingency, only to find myself begging to strangers for
help at the last minute.
Here is the situation: 2011 was my first burn. I _loved_
the hexayurts, and resolved to bring one with me to the
playa in 2012.
Within six weeks of retuning home I built my first
Hexayurt with this group's help. Here is a gratuitous
link to pictures of my structure, which, incidentally,
won the 2011 "Most Creative Campsite at LEAF" award. (
http://imgur.com/a/lBwCC )
I rented truck-space to transport this beautiful yurt
across-country; sadly I have just been informed this is
no longer possible. (The story about what happened to the
truck is complex, and I don't want to go into it. Suffice
it to say that you should never trust hippies with large
machinery.)
I can't find an alternative way to bring the yurt out
west this late in the game. Besides, I'm flying out to
San Fransisco to help build infrastructure for Sacred
Spaces Village in four days. I simply have too much on my
plate to search for another truck.
As best I can tell, there are two solutions:
1) Build another Yurt in Reno, then have it transported
to the playa from there. This, of course, opens a host of
other problems: Where will I find the materials? Where
will I find a covered area to build the structure? How
will I transport materials to the build-site?
2) Buy a hexayurt in Reno or San Fransisco. (Preferred
option)
Any advice, help, direction will be greatly appreciated &
add to your positive karma.
