Thanks so much for the response! Yes, I am building the little tiny 6' one seen here: http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_schematics
Does this mean all of my pre-taped hinges (only 4 - 2 per 1/2 side of the roof) should be loose hinges? That way they can fold? Also, I assume my "book binding" edges should be on the outside (foil side) so that when it is erected on the playa, there won't be divits in the top? (again, hoping that all makes sense, its kind of hard to explain) Thank you for the responses!
