I've been making hexayurt for about 7 years now, & I do believe they are suitable for medium-term accommodations with a few additions.
I was inspired to improve the design, so I actually started selling a bunch of additional items that greatly improve the long term durability of the structure, the waterproofing, etc. Check it out. http://www.burneryurts.com/hexayurt-supplies/ If you choose to go forward with it, let me know, there are a few things (like using foil tape to cover the seams), that are incredibly helpful for UV protection. ~ Natalie On Tuesday, May 10, 2016 at 11:56:44 AM UTC-4, Michael V wrote: > > I'm planning on making a move to Washington soon to help a friend on their > land there.
