They’ll be fine for weight - the panels weigh only a few pounds each. But wind or snow?
I just don’t know. My guess is that in polyiso, if you get a strong wind on those, the building will flex, tending to tear the tape off the surface of the panel. But all this big hexayurt stuff is super-experimental
The 8′ hexayurt is really the Perfect Hexayurt - all the others are just variations on that perfect platonic theme.
Hi, Vinay-
- George and I worked on a scaled pentayurt a couple of times- only got the walls; still struggling to do the roof.
- came in here to say sorry for delay and I see that someone did it and got you the 9′ 9″ measurement that you were looking for.
- it was no waste of time for us. we like learning SketchUp. don.
Very cool. Any idea if the longer models will hold up under their own weight without any additional structure under the roof?

Re: Infrastructure and technology…
For hurricanes, you take the hexayurts down again. Nothing that isn’t concret……
