Is this somehow a tension structure? No framing? What keeps it from collapsing if someone pushes on a corner or wall or in vigorous wind?
And I'm not quite understanding the roof on the paper model that has walls. Looks like there are two different roof setbacks? The full-size roof with no walls does not show that, though. Could see using this as an 8'x8' shed if it can withstand external pressures. Am just curious how it does that. Thanks for sharing. -- ken On Tuesday, February 16, 2016 at 4:22:51 PM UTC-7, Cabinz Admin wrote: > > Hi again, further to my last post: > > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/hexayurt/JrehbfU--MY > > I welcome comments, and am wondering f there are similar designs > (Hexayurt or other) from which I may learn to improve my design explained > below. > > hexayurt H13 seem the nearest, comparing roof shape, but is more > complicated with lower head height. > > > Having deciding on a design i am provisionally calling the "WedgeBlock" as > its a wedge shape roof on a square block walls.
