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.

Naming the pieces
- A "panel" cut through the diagonal gives us 2 "triangles". Please refer to this chart to name the "panels" and "triangles". (By the way, you can use this chart to print it on paper, then cut and fold it, and just cello-tape the walls (1a to 2a to 3a to 3b to 2b to 1b to 1a).
- The "wall" has 6 "wall sides".
- The "roof" has 2 "classic roof sides", 2 "big roof sides", and 2 "horizontal-vertical roof sides".
