Time To Re-Tape? Here Are Some Things To Consider Before You Re-Tape Your Hexayurt

A properly constructed hexayurt can last many seasons, but if you expose your yurt to extended periods of intense sunlight, you’ll need to re-tape the seams every couple of years. Bifilament tape is primarily made for bundling operations in an industrial environment, so long term exposure to ultraviolet radiation is not a big issue. Consequently, the additional cost related to making a tape uv resistant is not part of the manufacturing process.

If it is time to apply new tape to your hexayurt, you might want to consider some of these tips in the ongoing taping forum at eplaya.burningman.com before you decide how to proceed.
