Well ... the band went on my pentayurt, and it lasted all but the last snowfall, before the weight caused the walls to shear outward, so I'm going to rebuild sometime this summer, and, since I'm rebuilding, I thought I'd try the h13. Is there a printable paper model pdf somewhere, or sketchup designs of it?
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=4424f713497456b55cec6f2fc6dab36c&prevstart=0 is everything but. There is also rumors of a H14 ... although, that is starting to look like a long-house and might have wind-sheer problems from one side ... Of course, looking like a more traditional structure might make it more acceptable ... Thanks!
