I've tried the candy cane method and the staple method and found them
very difficult to pound into the playa. The rebar tends to vibrate and
the vibration absorbs much of the force of the sledge hammer. This
year I'l be trying the acute L approach. Heat the rebar with a torch
and bend the top
I'm getting as late a start as you. You can get tape from people with
extra, I've seen postings here, and also on Craig's List in the past
day.
Well, okay, it's in the SF Bay Area so not sure if you are.

Hi Dawn,
Yes, very late
In my experience, water is v. poor at removing Playa dust, unless it has
vinegar in it. Perhaps a workbench brush?

I still love my U's: take two pieces of long (two or three feet) galvanized
slightly larger than the rebar and insert half the rebar in each, leaving a gap
of an inch or two. Stand on one, use the other to bend. Presto! a tight U that
drives in and pulls out like a dream, with no shin hazard.
I use straight rebar. I have a Rebar Pounder that I made out of a
heavy weight and short piece of electrical conduit. It acts like a
slide hammer and the rebar jumps into the playa. I also place my rebar
right next to the side of the Hexayurt (between 2 corners) this allows
me to run a rope from
How do you attach the rope to the rebar?

Hi Eva,
I'm trying to figure out what tape to buy still, deciding between gorilla
tape and the highly flammable bidi filament tape which
The painter's tape does seem to be the widest tape available at home despot,
and it should peel away from the foil easily, though the flip side of that
is that it can pull away easily from the tarp on the playa too. I'm using
gorilla tape for the tarp, and assuming it doesn't peel away easily
Might I also suggest that people bring pictures of their structures
too, if possible? It would be great to actually see all of the
different variations on a theme, right? I'll be bringing a print-out
of my whole nerdy Quad Dome presentation.
Thanks Camp-Danger, for posting so much useful
Yep, signed up with it last night. It is a great website. Still trying to
find a ride for my wife though, as the one local option Tuesday evening
seems to be full already (we're in Marin and she was willing to go to the
city, then bart to the east bay to catch the ride). Seems the one
oh I get the cleaning up, etc...
I just say that overall, it's cheaper and better to use dual filament
tape than gorilla tape. At least for me it's worth the TIME not spent
doing all the prep work and have the gorilla tape fail on me.

I meant for removing the foam dust that clings to everything after the
initial cuts. That will totally defeat any adhesive.
