Very cool. Any idea if the longer models will hold up under their own weight without any additional structure under the roof?
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.

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