Hello H13'ers, just making an addendum to the subject title here.
So we relatively successfully built and broke down an H13 at BM and got back
home Sunday. Alas, the winds were *so* mild there this year (along with
temperatures), that I would say this was *not* a fair year in which to truly
We build our semi-folding H13 (using Julie's instructions) today (it
took us around 6h to build it, 45 min to assemble it and 2h to wrap it
and strap it to our car's roof).
We will be using a rope halo but I'm not really sure as to how many
cords we should use and where we should put them. if
So I finished prefab 5 minutes ago, and I hit a stump that has me
wondering what I did. I was under the assumption that when
construction was complete on an H13 that there would be 2 panels with
the logos on the outside, and I finished with only 1. I sat there for
a while comparing my two roof
You did it right! It's only one logo-out.

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
Great Dou! (I love wikis.)
I'm just building a few models (from 14cm x 28 cm panels, 3 mm thick, and
all shiny) for a computer party here in Tenerife.
Let me see if I can stay awake long enough to build all I want to build.

Great news, Lorin! Let us know
On the subject of tension rings - can a chain be used, taken off when
crossing the door, then placed back in place after?
If the door opens towards the inside and it's very windy at that moment, you
can still bend your back and go below the chain.
These yurts start to look like they have a
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.
Here are a few cell phone pics... they might be helpful...

Steve,
I'm not sure if there's any step-by-step done yet...
I used a combo of the info here: http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_H13
and Dou's picture.
Since (as I understand it) the H13 is not yet playa tested, I'd guess there
will be a lot of changes.
I figured I'd be a guinea pig.

This is great! I'm very excited that someone built the two-roof-piece model.
Thanks, Andreas, for giving it a try and letting us know. Also, Lorin, I
never thought of combining the two wall pieces together since that part
comes from the standard and well-tested H12. But you're completely right:
I'm not at all sure on the semi-folding roof design yet. I don't have quite
enough of a feel for the H13 structurally - I've only built two, one using
pretty much the traditional up-and-over strap tape anchor design, and the
plywood one here. I'm generally somewhat uncomfortable with hexayurts
...which reminds me: should we pass around probably locations so we can drop in
on fellow Vinay fans? I don't have a fixed camp location, but I tend to
gravitate near 8:00 and J, which is where a bunch of Iowans set up coffee camp.
My camp has a big, spherical shade structure made out of curved
Vinay's post brings up a question for me... I *had* been planning to do
up-and-over tape anchors with the folding H13.
How would you do it otherwise? Just a rope halo? Because I'm not sure how
that would work on the H13 design.
I'd been planning to do an x, basically, with tape anchors
I don't see my last post up in the thread, did it go through?

Another way to bisect the roof is as shown in the picture of the model
attached, and to use all tight hinges (some from the inside, some from the
outside). It does pack just as well
I'm currently constructing my H13, and I've got a few questions. First
of all, regarding the walls, is there a reason that the base can't be
assembled as one piece instead of 2? I'm trying to limit the amount of
taping that will be required on the playa, and figured it would be
easier to simply
I just constructed a full-scale H13 using dou's rearranged hinge
method today to bring to the playa this year.
It works great!
The two-piece design made it nice and easy to put together the roof on
the ground with 3 people (since we may have to), then grabbed 2 more
to lift it onto the walls.
Lorin:
I can't speak for the reason for two wall sections... but perhaps someone
can?
We ended up doing our door on one of the 8 foot sides, hinged inwards, for
the following reasons:
- Two of us are over 6 feet tall, and part of the reason for doing the H13
was so we wouldn't have to crawl to
Is there a definitive recipe for this? I'm just gearing up for a regular,
default H12 (built one before), but if there's a recipe where I don't have to
spend hours scratching my head I might switch.
Thanks,
Steve
