H13 Plywood
- Vinay Gupta invented the basic shape in 2003. The H13 was designed by [Davis] and [Toymaker] (design published in November 2010). The H13 adds one panel to the “classic” H12 hexayurt, but that one extra sheet of plywood gets an 8′ roof line and 2-3 times the walkable space inside the hexayurt.
- The H13 has been built with polyiso panels and there's even a design to make it folding.
- This page describes the specificities for a H13 built with wood.
