All, has anyone considered or actually built a design such as this, with the top trimmed?
In text the side profile looks like this. The vertical side walls are 5' high and 6' wide, the sloping side walls are 6' wide at the bottom and 3' at the top, so the top hexagon is 3' on a side: ____ / \ |______| In a Google Doc drawing, like this: http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B-4tKMQy9PqEMGNlNWFlZDQtYTBlZC00YTkzLWI1YjMtYmQyOTZmODYwMGUy&hl=en I'm curious if there's a consensus that these modifications are indeed "improvements". There's a bit of waste material, about 10% over the "traditional" design, but you gain a walk-in door, it should be structurally more robust (more like a dome) and, aesthetically, the thing doesn't have a little pointed head.(Oh, if I were building for double occupancy I might scale back up to 8' wall width, then use two extra panels to add some walk in height (1/3rd panel per wall). Same basic design, same cutting angles, just 33% bigger in every dimension. Also it makes for easier folding with the option of going either full folding, or partial. In the partial case you get a package that is 3' x 6' x 20 inches (for one inch panels), if you use one section for the verticals, one for the sloping sides, and one for the top. Thanks. I'd appreciate any feedback or recommendations. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
