Thank you so much for making all these videos...I will be out at the burn this year with the DPW testing to see how long i can make it last. Hope to see you out there this year danger crew!
@ jim-- I put the yurt up first and then pull out the tarp, keeps it cleaner than my dusty feet all over it during building. But only gently guy down the yurt I guess. Things we did right: set up the roof first. Taped the walls-to-risers on the ground. Pounded rebar before assembling the walls. Got distracted and drank wine off the tailgate. The only thing I think I'd change is that you had to cut more out of the door on playa-- hard to do moopless. LOVE THIS. Thank you for posting!
@@TheAhhleena I wouldn’t cut any windows and especially not in the upper section. It’ll significantly weaken the structure. I cut a hole for an AC. If you don’t have an AC option I’m. It sure the best way to get airflow.
Thanks for posting this, I'm looking at doing this for Burning Man this year. I have a question - it looks like 6 side at the beginning - but a 4 side at the end, is this an illusion (in my eyes) or are these 2 different yurts?
Ha, as I watched this (watching hexayurt videos for this year's burn), I thought to myself, "That looks like Jim". Would you recommend against making the door any bigger? It looks like a pain in the arse to get in and out of. -"not bill"
Ha! :) I cut the door a bit bigger on the smaller panel after I assembled everything (just don't do it all the way to the edge.) I also used a 6' sheet of plywood with a hinge that i mounted the door pieces to. You can kind of see that here: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151907387049680&set=t.507449679&type=3&theater
Although it's not a deal-breaker, I certainly recommend putting down the tarp before moving the structure on top of it. That would be muuuuuuuch easier than the way I did it.
Looked up that tent and it looks hard to keep dust out .. and no AC placement .. the hexa yurt seems like a top option for keeping it dark , cool and powered with a generator continuously .. I also like this one’s platinum iridescent color , I image one could make it pretty trippy and fun chill integrative place at the burn

Great Music!!! This is a lot of work.
Thank you this adds to my idea for homeless...
Thanks for posting this!! It is so helpful. I can’t wait to try out my camp danger yurt this year! currently trying to plan out my door design…
Hope this helps! The yurt is the best thing ever out there. Have fun!
@@redcouchguy how many windows do you recommend cutting?
I was thinking about cutting long & narrow ones in the upper 2’ panels..?

@redcouchguy hello I just came across your video. What kind/brand of AC unit do you use with this yurt style?
(Dangerous) Lightning will be attracted to the conductive alloy material on applied to both sides of the thermal board.
What Jackie said. Who's music????
Nice place when it's done
Do these stay dry if it rains?
Is this waterproof?
How did you figure the panel cuts for the roof? are they just right and left triangles cut corner to corner?
Are these reusable? What happens when they are taken down, do you just rip the tape off and start again on another build?
What type of yurt is this? Is it the 8' yurt?
Love the hexayurt. Thanks for the video. Love also to know who did your music track... & where can we hear more?
I’m wanting to build one for the burn this year. What was the cost for materials?
Is the total # of 8x4 panels used 15? 9 for base and 6 for top? Great job btw!
Yep! And thanks!
Really good music choice. So, often this aspect is loss; way to maximize!
Bet it stays cool inside.
What holds it down in the event it gets windy.?

It has six sides (hex=six) but I see what you mean about the angle of the camera at the end. Good luck! They're awesome!
No airlock?
Whose the music by?

what kind of material is that you are using??

Is there a design that can take a wind load?
i want to make this for this years burn, how did it stand up to the winds?
that shit is gonna blow away...
No it wont, thats why they Tied it down.
Hi guys, tape ? Where'd you get it?
I would suggest that one. www.goodbuyguys.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/22_200

Pretty sure is a pentayurt do
not shown: the person we trapped in the yurt when we bring the roof cone over the top-- that's an important job. Two people inside is even better.
all that that tape seems kinda wasteful and expensive
@Milk2Percent 6$ per roll?! Where can I get that deal? Haha, Hexayurt tape is like 25-30$.
Get a yourself a Kodiak canvas tent and save yourself a ton of work and time, and you wont need a truck to transport it either...
