By all accounts, this is going to be a windy year.
On the Playa, your Hexayurt is priceless in more ways that one.
Keep in mind that it will only be rock solid when you've got it taped
up and tied down. Until then, it'll want to be free, and that's just a
gust away.

Hi Bill,
Your suggestion is intriguing. I like the idea of having a vent in the
roof that opens or closes with a hand crank. Have you had any issues with
water leakage in yours (or has water even been tested with yours)? Also do
you put any filters on it as well so when it is open your not l
I would think you'd want to alao take into consideration the fact that cold air
falls and hot air rises. Given this, the cold air inflow into the yurt should
come in up high so that you get maximum cooling. And since hot air rises,
likewise the exhaust should be up high as well since that is whe
With the wind reports as of late, and dust whiteout reports, I would SO
rather be in a yurt instead of a tent this year. I would think that tents
are going to be a total nightmare.

Hey Sonia,
Yeah, will put you on the reserved list for one 60 yard roll. Such a funky
situation here and as much trouble as I had to find a solution I wanted to
try to make it easier for the rest. Unfortunately the last minute of this
all means it was very expensive for me...I put down about $90
I put a 12v RV exhaust fan in the roof. It required a ~12x12 hole. If you don't have active, as opposed to passive, exhaust it will get really humid inside. The RV enclosure has a lid that can be cranked open or closed. The ideal fan speed produced negative pressure inside, but since the struct
Hi Charlie,
What do you mean exactly by cutting 4 holes in the "top of your dome" ? Do
you mean you just picked 4 parts of the roof near the top and notched out
holes to let this fit in? This sounds like it would work great for passive
cooling, but wouldn't this be a problem if it rained?

Julie,
I would like to grab a roll, I am in Redwood City, are you close?

Last year I took a furnace filter 16x20x1 and cut it into 4 smaller pieces.
I then took 4 6x8x1 picture frames and hot glued the filter material into
the frame. Finally I cut 4 holes in the top of my dome (where they fit
without impacting the roof structure) and pressed the frames in the holes.
Off topic, but if you have friends who still want to go the Playa, we have
2 extra tickets.

Hi Matt,
How much tape do you have spare? I'm also looking for 1 roll of 6 inch
tape, and I get to the playa this Friday.
Cheers,

Swamp coolers by evaporation, when water evaporates it cools off and that
air is piped into the yurt. The swamp cooled air will make the cooled area
more cool and more moist. Putting the swamp cooler inside will reduce it's
efficiency. Putting it outside will maximize it. Unless I don't

I can help you. Hit me up via my post when you get a chance and we can

If you need tape, I have extra tape. I'm in Truckee, about a mile off the
80, until mid next week. After that you can find me at Distrikt (9/F).
Hit me up with what you need and we'll see if we can't make your hexadreams
come true!
Cheers,
