An idea: This is the Ikea flat pack emergency house shelter:
https://www.google.com/search?q=ikea+flat+pack+emergency+house+shelter It has identical wall sections and a tarp-like roof (at least I think it's tarp-like). A hexayurt could be made from 2 different wall sections, or identical wall sections with 2 different angle connectors to make the 60-deg angle and a flat connection. The roof would be similarly of 2 mirrored shaped panels to make the large roof triangles. The yurt would not have to follow the 4x8 foot panel size. The joints would be made to seal because of their connection shape and the panels would bolt together, probably with standard bolts and water-tight washers, or something like that. There could be door panels, window panels, roof panels with holes for stove pipes, etc. To connect 2 yurts a door panel would be part of the common wall. It could have a door or just an opening. The door could be used as a table if needed. One design issue is the valley between 2 yurt roofs, but if the joints are tight it might be OK. Panels could be made in any way that works: Pressed hemp, injection or rotary molded plastic, wood panels with edge connectors attached, etc. The panels could be made like SIPs with insulation sandwiched inside the shell. So, that's the idea. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
