Re: [hexayurt] Raised floor lip?

Sure, I was just thinking about the tarp on the right hand of the drawing if you were trying to close the door in a windstorm. You could tuck the tarp under the 2x4 to ensure it wouldn't flap up. On Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 9:02 PM, wrote: > I'm planning to build an H13 and frame

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

Yeah, I thought of that, and you're right. My solution is to glue or tape a strip of mylar above the velcro and overlapping the tarp. Could be overkill, might not work owing to the problem of gluing mylar, but we'll see... Like I said, Learning Experience! On Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 8:58 PM Alex

Re: [hexayurt] Raised floor lip?

I'm planning to build an H13 and frame around the door with brackets for added strength and rigidity (alá http://steampunkworkshop.com/pentayurt-for-burning-man/), so I'm betting that the weight of the yurt will suffice to keep the tarp pinned down. On Monday, July 3, 2017 at 2:24:20 PM

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

Alex, I'm planning on doing what J. Pinder did, only using velcro rather than tape. I hear you about the flaky connection between the foam and the foil, but the tension will be the foil, not pulling it up. I'm hoping that a long strip of velcro will distribute the load enough that it's not a

Re: [hexayurt] Raised floor lip?

Got it. Yeah tucking it could work, or maybe magnets to keep the inside of the tarp attached to the wood. On Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 10:06 PM, Hunter wrote: > Sure, I was just thinking about the tarp on the right hand of the drawing > if you were trying to close the door in a

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

Steve, I see what you mean. I'm curious... if the tarp is on the outside and you use velcro instead of tape, wouldn't that let the water in? What do you think? On Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 8:53 PM Steve Upstill wrote: > Alex, > > I'm planning on doing what J. Pinder did, only

Re: [hexayurt] Raised floor lip?

I like it. My only concern would be keeping the outdoor section of the tart flat against the 2x4 in the door section. On Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 12:57 PM, wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm in the process of building a yurt for the Gerlach regional, and I had > a quick design question.

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

Messr. Pinder, That gallery is great! I did it a little differently in that I assembled each wall (rectangle + two triangles) at home, with one hinge inside and one hinge outside so one triangle folds to the inside and one outside--leaving one triangle free so you can form a neat stack. That way

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

Thanks for asking for questions I would love to see some updated pix. How did you secure the pyramid so that the winds did not blow it away. You mentioned 1 inch foam not being strong enough ... is 1.5 inches strong enough? Would a 6 inch wide perimeter strip give the required stability?

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

I'll post some pictures when I'm staging it later (I'm miserable about taking pictures on-Playa). For securing the pyramid, I have rope loops attached to the plywood roof. On the ground, I use 10" lag screws with a washer and two links of chain. In between, basic Home Depot ratchet straps. With

Have had no luck with silicone adhesives, airplane cement, Super Glue, and quick-setting epoxy. Don't know about Barge cement. Tape may be the answer since your application is temporary. On Sunday, July 2, 2017 at 10:33:38 AM UTC-6, Steve Upstill (Swifty) wrote: > > I don't have one. I'm still

Finally found my notes from about six years ago. Then, according to my notes, I found the angles on the Appropedia page. Apparently they were referred to as "mitered edges." Not seeing them there now, but I may have skimmed too quickly since Wolf and other helpful folks here have already

I did a similar build last year with 1" boards and never had any problems with wind and leaking. check it out here! thanks for this inspiration. http://imgur.com/a/mj6K1 J On Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 10:42 AM, Alex Gorbatchev wrote: > Hey Steve! > > You are my hero :)

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

did I have to tape the tarp on the playa? I did. It was sper easy, just get a buddy to help you! It wasn't particularly windy when we set it up eaither, and a ladder with someone propping it up on the inside helped alot when taping the outside of the structure. J Pinder Director Producer

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

Hey Steve! You are my hero :) Thank you so much for all the updates, it's really inspiring to see you using my design. Every problem you mentioned I can confirm personally. The flapping walls in strong winds and the weak front door panel. After 3 burns, I sold my yurt this year due to storage

Re: [hexayurt] Re: Pyramid shaped yurt with exhaust vent

J, great job! I didn't think of taping the tarp on the outside, my door design was all the way to the bottom edge of the panel. Did you have to tape it up on the playa? This is the part of that I was trying to avoid doing :) On Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 11:00 AM J. Pinder wrote: >
