Thanks everyone - yes, according to my math 2 should cover assembly (we edged with foil tape, minimize the fire risk and save some dollars)... We will take 3 rolls of bi-dir 6" tape, so we should have plenty of extra.
Hi Jason, I didn't see a 'tarp' listed in your supply list. You will want one, I believe 16x20 (or 14x16, I hear works too). And, you'll need some heavy duty craft knives to cut the panels, if you don't have other plans (like a jigsaw). As for rope, we used something similar to clothes line for our other structures last year, and it worked out ok (we used 3 strand nylon, I do believe). We're going with the same (it's a real soft nylon, not the really rough stuff). I'll let other weigh in, as this is my first year building a yurt (my 4th year going and building shade structures), but we DO NOT use those plastic tent pegs. They seem to get brittle and break and don't seem to work well on the playa. You'd be better off going with 1' rebar, imho. 1' rebar won't cost you much at all, and it'll really hold. And, here is the playa checklist. http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_playa_checklist The worksheet: http://files.howtolivewiki.com/8_foot_hexayurt_worksheet.xls And, the main 'burning man hexyurt' page.. good info (same as the checklist) and it's a funny read :) http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_Playa I hope this helps you.
