Documaniac mode = on Dou, can I put your instructions on the wiki at appropedia? It would be easier to refer to it, add further details and improvements (Andrea's), and maybe someone will add video (hint, hint). If allowed, I'd have to find the instructions themselves, but that's another matter.

Great news, Lorin! Let us know how it goes. You must be more skilled than I am, it took me several hours to bisect, tape, and hinge up half of a hexayurt by myself. Lucas, I had already added the link to the instructions from the H13 page, but you're right, it's better to inline them at the wiki

Dusty, I'd love to jump into a group buy for my standard 8-footer. The only thing I'd add to your shopping list would be 3 foil tape for the edges. BTW, what do you mean by Playa staples? Is that vernacular for U-shaped rebar? Either way, you'll want to put plenty of rebar on your list.

My plan had been JUST tape anchors... not sure how you'd do the rope halo on an H13... but.. I'm open to suggestions! I may have some pictures of the initial build process. We did have someone taking iphone pics, but I'm not sure yet if any will be helpful. If they are, I'll put them up.
