Hi all, What kind of load rating am I looking for in rope to use to make a yurt halo out of? Is 95lb enough?
Also, can someone check my math: I've calculated that to tie down a 6' stretch yurt I'll need 80' of rope. [A foot up the roof from the wall the trapezoid panels are 7' across and the triangular panels are 3'; if the tie-downs are at a 45 degree angle from the roof to my rebar I need 1' laying across the roof and 5.6' from the roof edge to the ground; call it 8' to give me some slack to tie knots and a trucker's hitch. So in total (2 x 7') + (4 x 3') + (6 x 9') = 80'] Similarly, for a regular H12, I'll need 96'. [2' up the roof from the wall the triangles are 6' across; therefore I need to use 10' lengths from the halo to the ground: (6 x 6') + (6 x 10') = 96'.] Is that about right?
