Cardboard model. Or even paper model to start with. But definitely a cardboard model.
Six walls, each 4' by 4', can be done as two strips, each made of three squares, first to second a tight hinge, second to third a loose hinge. These are 3 panels, each cut in half to give us three squares. As you say, no problem there. Six roof pieces, each an equilateral triangle with a base of 4', from two panels (each with four cuts) which give you three roof pieces each, plus a total of 4 "left over" "half roof-piece", right? I wonder if you'd want some of those half roof-pieces if there's need to do some folding. Model just the roof? Number the pieces: R1 to R6, plus abcd for the half-triangle leftover thingies. Try two different half-roofs, one using leftovers and one without? Post a picture or two. Allow us to use the picture in a wikipage which we'd call "folding six-foot" or whatever? This should help the next million, so thank you.
