Plywood hexayurt
Hexayurts are basically made of panels and connectors. Water-proofing, insect-proofing, fixing to the ground and portability need to be considered.
If the panels are from wood, then:
- the connectors need to be stronger than with lighter panels.
- fixing the hexayurt to the ground is probably needed only if there's risk of earthquakes or landslides.
- water-proofing and insect-proofing need to be considered, asking the local experts.
- portability will most likely need a group of synchronised carriers.
