Paul, I was trying to accomplish the same goal, a hexa-yurt to purchase/rent for Bman 2012. I gave up after being scolded by a monitor for the site, saying that this is not a commercial site. Not 2 weeks later a hexa-yurt was sold on the site. So I think you are in the right place and I hope it works out for you. I kinda feel like I have paved the way for you. You can find what you need to build at the BigBoxStore, except the tape. You need to source the tape. I have seen many rolls sold here on the site as well. So much for not being commercial:) That being said Vinay, Julie and the gang are great people, Im sure something will work out for you. Where will Sacred Spaces Village be this year? All the best, Ben
