We'd be interested in a group order as well. I'm somewhat new to yurt building. I've read most of the guides but am yet to read up on true side-by-side comparisons of each type of material for playa use. I tend to "buy the best" if that makes sense, so I'm attracted to HD. That said, is it actually that much better on the playa? I'm also curious if it weighs much more, considering structural implications for an H15. Thanks for any insight. Count us in if this *is* the "best" option for the $$.
