We've been working with a large composite door manufacturer for over a year to re-use their off cuts (see pic2 - glass is green house panel +1m rule) , of which 10 tonnes are land filled weekly . We've reused approx. 30 tonnes, but its been tough. I'm thinking of making a small hexayurt from these panels, using drywall lining steel frames & grp or steel sheet covering. We have experimented with drywall lining steel / grp / upvc core beams ( see Pic 1 & http://www.instructables.com/id/Clad-Composite-Beam-From-Waste/ <http://www.instructables.com/id/Clad-Composite-Beam-From-Waste/> I wondered if a grp skinned panel had been tried beforeand also if internal frames have been used to make hexayurts stronger. Two final questions, I noticed from this post that rats/ mice / birds can sometmes attack rigid foam. http://www.bikersoracle.com/vfr/forum/showthread.php?t=130100 Is there evidence ofthis happening to hexayurts ? I thought a metal skin could prevent this. A large supplier of slight seconds metal sided sandwich kingspan panels supports our project & we could make a hexa yurt prototype at low cost. Has one been made before ? Regards Paul Ridley co-ordinator -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
