Actually, for a given scale, e.g. an 8' hexayurt, it gives usability comparable to the next size up, I expect. So any comparisons need to be made on that basis, and that way, it's looking even better.

Comparison with standard hexayurt
I'm sure there's some loss of strength, and stability in wind. But those can be largely handled with a little extra material in the right places, and some extra attention to tying down. Well worth it for the greater usability.
Actually, for a given scale, e.g. an 8' hexayurt, it gives usability comparable to the next size up, I expect. So any comparisons need to be made on that basis, and that way, it's looking even better. Good work! --Chriswaterguy 07:12, 20 May 2011 (PDT)
