I've never taped all the way over...and never had it budge either. I do check it during hottest hours or after big storms and have seen edges come up a hair. But a third up the roof or my arms length always worked for anchors.

You also only used 6 tape anchors on your 8' tall stretch? I'm debating trying to pre-tape some of my tape anchors so I have to do minimal work on the playa, and I'm thinking of pre-taping 4 of my 6 tape anchors at home. I'm building the standard full size yurt with 4' tall walls, and my build plan is all 6 walls accordian, while the roof is in two accordians. When I get to the playa i'd connect the roof, run one tape anchor continuously to the other side all the way across OVER the uncontinuous tape for the other 4 corners with tape anchors.. if that makes sense. Does this seem viable? On Aug 10, 2:00 pm, Thomas Tempelmann <tempelm...@gmail.com> wrote: > > What about passing tape over flat edges at the top?
