Six Foot Stretch Apex Hexayurt

Post by Marsilius » Sat May 14, 2022 5:26 am

Hi Burners!

Some time ago we built a hexayurt based on the 6' Stretch Hexayurt layout, but with a little twist to its design - and without using any more building material - that will get you a full-size entrance and even more headroom inside: The 6´ Stretch Apex Hexayurt.

For me this is the perfect option for a Playa home for two, as it still requires only a reasonable amount of material and transport space, but fits a queen size bed, leaves space for other things, is easy to enter, and allows you to stand upright on the inside.

As I have not seen this design somewhere else yet, be it in BRC or on the web, I put together some building instructions and wanted to share it with the community, maybe someone else wants to give it a try as well:

Hey there!

I love this. Where did you purchase the materials or pack from?

Hi QueenPriscilla!

Sorry for the late replay - you can get most of the building material at regular hardware stores like Lowes or Home Depot, only the bidirectional filament tape usually needs to be ordered online. Find more details on all the stuff required on the original webpages from the inventor of the hexayurt:

Hi! My lady and I are planning to go for our first time this year and will be doing this! Will you be around for 2024?
