| == At the shop ==
| |
| | |
| Buy:
| |
| * 12 4’x8’x1" sheets
| |
| * 3"/6" tape
| |
| * cutter and blades
| |
| * gloves and masks
| |
| | |
| == At home ==
| |
| | |
| Just two people.
| |
| | |
| * Cut 6 sheets at the diagonal: 3 in one direction, 3 in the other direction. (If you want all logos inside, and all shiny outside.)
| |
| * Tape points and bases of the 12 triangles, and the 8’ sides of the rectangles.
| |
| | |
| === Make 2 semi-walls ===
| |
| | |
| Make 2 semi-walls, each made of 3 panels: (Logos towards you.)
| |
| | |
| * Place 2 panels with no gap between their 4’ sides, tape them together, fold like a book, and tape "the spine of the book". We call this a tight hinge.
| |
| * Place the 3rd panel along the 2nd, with a gap wide as the thickness of a panel, tape them together, fold like a book (with a panel between them to keep the gap), and tape "the spine of the book". We call this a loose hinge.
| |
| | |
| Top view: panel 1 panel 2 gap panel 3
| |
| | |
| Side view: ==================||==================| |==================
| |
| | |
| === Make 2 semi-roofs ===
| |
| | |
| Make 2 semi-roofs, each made of 6 triangles:
| |
| | |
| * Place the 6 triangles as "1 triangle, 2 roof-sides (each is 2 triangles), 1 triangle". (Logos towards you.)
| |
| | |
| Top view: triangle (gap) triangle+triangle (gap) triangle+triangle (gap) triangle
| |
| | |
| Side view: triangle (gap) triangle+triangle (gap) triangle+triangle (gap) triangle
| |
| | |
| * "Diagonal" = line between triangles in "triangle(gap)triangle".
| |
| * "Vertical" = line between triangles in "triangle+triangle".
| |
| | |
| * Do the diagonals first, the verticals second.
| |
| * The diagonals have a gap the size of (important) half a panel. Tape, fold, tape the spine. It's a loose hinge, but remember the gap is _half_ the thickness of a panel.
| |
| * The verticals have no gap. Tape, fold, tape the spine. It's a tight hinge.
| |
| | |
| == For travel ==
| |
| | |
| Stack the folded 2 semi-walls and the folded 2 semi-roofs, bundle them, place on top of car or inside truck, drive.
| |
| | |
| == At the Playa ==
| |
| | |
| * Unbundle.
| |
| * Tape the semi-walls together.
| |
| * Tape the semi-roofs together.
| |
| * Put roof on top (with help).
| |
| * Tape roof to walls.
| |
| * Add strings and pegs.
| |
| * Add windows and doors and other niceties.
| |
| * Enjoy.
| |
| * Separate roof from walls.
| |
| * Separate 2 half-roofs.
| |
| * Separate 2 half walls.
| |
| * Fold, pack, go home, store.
