Cheers again Dylan, there's a lot of info there. That base is a work of art ! I'll study it in more detail.
I am looking for a more permanent hexayurt structure, and have spent a bit of time thinking about the idea recently. I experimented with the wall joints today , see - http://cabinznet.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/research-on-joining-kingspan-pir.html Thought about using" Slotted Fence Posts for Shelter Ground Resting Foundations Poss. Slotted Crank Bent Arm Post Idea For Hexayurt " http://cabinznet.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/slotted-fence-posts-for-shelter-ground.html similar here <http://cabinznet.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/hexayurt-shelter-footings-design-using.html>: & http://cabinznet.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/cabinznet-experiment-of-concrete-post.html I thought perhaps the concrete posts could be used as thermal mass store, as well as a heavy foundation to anchor the structure. Rebar loops would anchor them to the ground. I started making my own Sips Panel " Design for a SIPS Panels with a supporting frame inside. Leading from the Ubuntu Blox concept of local filling " www.cabinznet.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/design-for-sips-panels-with-supporting.html. This covered several ideas 1. idea being for disaster shelters to be shipped on masse in a shipping container, but reduce bulk (ie , you don't want to ship the foam as its bulky) . So just ship profile steel sheet which lays flat. Include an IBC tank of liquid foam to fill panels on site, when activated with catalyst (again reducign bulk) On site, then fill panels with local cleaned litter of polystrene cup waste etc like Ubuntu Blox method, to make liquid foam go further. I've used scrap polystyrene in my experiment on blog <http://cabinznet.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/design-for-sips-panels-with-supporting.html> 2. In my experiment, Here I include an internal frame to strenghten panel that sits in the profile of the steel sheet <http://cabinznet.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/design-for-sips-panels-with-supporting.html> This frame could be local wood 3. Perhaps a heating / cooling pipe could be inserted into the diy sips panel to gather heat in daytime & disperse at night. Maybe the Thermal mass of the concrete post foundations could be utilised as a part heat store.
