@ Jeremy: look for your burning man regional group on burningman.com @ April: aw jeez....I dunno about tape amounts. I haven't fluffed that yurt's info at all...I'll say this: 1: No more bifil tape to seal the edges of the raw material. Skip it. Screw it. Use aluminum foil tape and you'll be happy forever. You'll know how much you need if you add up the number of sides that DON'T get a camp danger hinge. 2: then add more foil tape to cover all the camp danger hinges and they'll hopefully never wear out! 4: 3" bifil: I use it for the inside tape on the tight hinges....probably not worth ordering a roll when you won't use that much of it. 6" bifil for all the hinges. Foil tape to COVER the permanent hinges so they will last and not get sun damaged.
