Sounds reasonably plausible to me - the structure is highly adaptable. I actually really like the idea of gutters & collecting rainwater - yet another way to improve your sustainable living. Others will undoubtedly have a more expert opinion, but if I were doing it (novice that I am), I'd just attach a gutter system to the roof/wall seams - I don't see needing an eave - keep the joint flush as usual & just butt the gutter right alongside it. One or two drain pipes & a couple of rain barrels - viola!

Could the HY be fitted with eaves, either as extensions to the roof panels, stick-on gutters, or even a textile flysheet ? At present this building is not able to divert rainwater from it's immediate foundations nor is it able to collect water for it's occupants or their animals to use. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
