If what faces the elements is poly iso, and you are in a climate that gets rain, unless you are beneath protection, you may have a fail.
Poly iso insulation was NOT made to be outside a structure, but between siding & drywalls. Would love to hear how your project turns out. One hexayurt of which I’m aware, placed outside in Sonoma County, CA, didn’t make it through the winter.
