I've never built a real size hexayurt. For plywood the wikipages are: http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_Plywood http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_H13_Plywood http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_Plywood_TUE_Research_Outline
I think there could be clothcement just like there's ferrocement. http://ferrocement.com/bioFiber/y5-1x2/biofiber_y5.1.en.html 2015-04-29 17:22 GMT+01:00 RichShumaker <[email protected]>: > Thanks Hal but you missed the point of my post. > Structural Insulated Panels for a permanent Hexayurt(not on the playa or > on the playa permanently). > > SIP's are used for floors and ceilings in building all the time. > My question still remains.
