Hey Jason
These pegs will work but they can also bust sometimes if the playa is
hard and you're using a regular hammer. I've used many things over the
years but find the plain old rebar last and works great. You can use
12-15" lengths for your yurt with fine results, and even 3/8th will be
strong enough for this application. If you can bend it, making either a
little hook at the top (most ideal), or a good 'U' shape is convenient
for tying your guy lines to. If you go with the "u', make sure the legs
are parallel and straight, or they wander as you whack them in to the
ground causing the ground to be disturbed along the way and weakening
the hold. Making a J works good too; you pound your rebar most of the
way in, then set your line in the J, then pound it the rest of the way
in to the ground, hiding the tripping/toe-ripping hazard. If you go
with the straight rebar, make sure you can tie a good half hitch or
other friction type knot to keep the line on the rebar under load. And
old tennis balls work great as rebar end protectors.
So, yes they work, but they don't last.

I cannot find the tape spreadsheet.
In fact,I never found a detailed and complete materials list...
but here is what I have...
12 Panels for basic design
2 rolls 6" filament tape{assembly only}
tape for edges like aluminum{save moolah} or 6" bidirectional
filament tape
12, 6"x3/4" PVC pipe pipe for tie downs
rope for tie downs
circus tent pegs, or pegs, rebar
furnace filters for window vents
So I am asking everyone, did I miss anything, or do you have
something to add?

It's four if you do the edges with the six inch tape. Assembly
takes about two, but check the tape spreadsheet (linked from
the hexayurt wiki) to double check!

Subject: [hexayurt] How much tape??
I'm seeing some conflicting info on this.. One part of the
hexayurt
wiki says 2 rolls of 6'x60yards, the playa checklist says 4
rolls...
We got our panels (yes!) and we edged em with foil tape (to
save money
and it won't melt in the heat).
When I do the quick math, seems like 4 rolls is excessive for a
hexayurt based on all the measurements. Seems like 2 would
cover it
(including taping the inside ring along the tarp). Am I just
bad at
math?
The tape is so expensive, we don't want to order much more than we
need. Will 2 rolls do it?
Thanks and any info you can shart will be helfpul! Thank you
as always
