– Twice as much area above 6' as a hexayurt
– Full-height door, in a 4x8 plywood sheet
– Velcro assembly, no taping / cutting on playa
– Single-person assembly*
* technically I met this goal, but two would be a lot easier.
It has five 8' walls and one 4' wall, thus, the 5-1/2 yurt. It's made from 13 panels. Everything is whole panels and half-panel triangles, except for the roof. Mine is also fully beveled, but if I did it again I would use Camp Danger hinges. (There are 11 different angles to bevel!)
How stable will it be anchored to the playa? Only one way to find out...
Please come take a look. I'll be at Camp Nosefish starting Monday, Rod's Rd. @ 4:15.
