It's actually a possibility I considered. It won't pack flat (you'll be missing a 4'x4' square, you could just include the extra piece). Space around the edges won't be very usable due to the wall angle. Think about how far into the space a tub (ALC) or something would protrude, due to the wall angle (or in my case, a footlocker). But if you don't mind those things, go for it. I decided on this: http://www.chaosreigns.com/burningman/h8yurt1.jpg.html H8 yurt, same pieces as an H12 hexayurt, but two fewer sides. Another possibility I considered was four 8' wide by 4' tall walls, and a flat roof. I think I'd be happy with the space, but I think supporting the roof could be problematic. (I saw an article about a guy who lived in a hobbit hole 8' in diameter and 4' high, which looked fine.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
