Hexayurt 2.0 Portable Installation
⛑️ Reno Hexayurt Usage Instructions
Your Reno Hexayurt is a durable, insulated, and climate-conscious shelter ideal for harsh desert environments like Burning Man. Built with safety and comfort in mind, each unit comes pre-installed with an AC port and is constructed using high-quality fire-resistant materials.
Material Overview
- Wall Panels: 1" or 2" thick TSX-8500 polyiso insulation boards, foil-faced for superior heat reflection and rigidity.
- Core Material: Closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam with low flame spread (Class A rating) per ASTM E84.
- Facing: Reflective foil facers on both sides for heat rejection and UV resistance.
- Fire Behavior: Non-dripping, low smoke development, approved for exposed interior use in specific assemblies.
These materials are engineered for thermal performance and fire resistance in extreme environments.
Air Conditioning (AC) Use
Every Reno Hexayurt is AC-ready:
- Comes with a built-in AC port, compatible with most compact portable AC units (5,000–8,000 BTU recommended).
- Always use a generator or battery system rated for your AC’s power draw.
- Ensure adequate ventilation for AC exhaust — never vent into a closed space.
- Keep the AC unit shaded and off the ground to prevent sand clogging.
Tip: For best cooling, operate AC during peak daylight hours and keep the hexayurt sealed.
Fire Safety
- No open flames: no candles, stoves, fire pits, or incense inside.
- Use only battery-powered lighting — avoid heat-generating devices.
- Keep an ABC fire extinguisher in the yurt.
- Maintain 3 ft clearance around walls and electrical devices.
- Avoid combustible tapes or hanging fabrics inside.
Power & Electrical Safety
- Use low-voltage systems (12V battery banks, solar setups, inverter generators).
- All power sources should be outdoor-rated and ventilated.
- Avoid overloading AC units or power strips.
- Do not run cords through panel seams — use ports or pass-throughs.
Ventilation & Heat Management
- Use roof vent and door flap to release heat buildup.
- Reflective foil helps reject solar gain — add shade tarp for extra cooling.
- Do not fully seal the yurt unless AC is actively running.
Wind & Weather Protection
- Secure with lag bolts, rebar stakes, or screw anchors.
- Seal seams with high-quality 3” foil HVAC tape to reduce dust intrusion.
- In dust storms: close all vents/doors and remain inside.
Emergency Access
- Keep the door accessible — do not block with gear or furniture.
- Have a flashlight or headlamp nearby at night.
- Ensure everyone knows how to exit quickly in an emergency.
Before Leaving the Event
- Remove all anchors and tape. Leave No Trace.
- Inspect and clean panels. Store in dry, shaded area.
