Times will change. Fuller's time is yet to come.
- RangerScience 10y agoThe upsides of a hexayurt are many. Done well, they're possibly the best housing on playa - definitely competitive with RVs, if you bring your own AC. Mine's lasted five years, and all I've had to do was replace the door panel (a door to the floor - resulting in a U shaped panel - is not the best plan). But! These are, in my experience, the hard parts and downsides - not that they're insurmountable, or even all that difficult, but worth mentioning: 1) Doors are hard. No, really. 2) Storage & Transportation. (8ft by 4ft+ by 8in+) 3) Can't lean on the walls 4) Short doors get annoying, fast. Anecdotally, I'm definitely seeing more hexayurts out there each year, particularly the small stretch designs (which are fantastic, btdubs)
