Folded Homes FAQs
not to stay in the folded position and initially tends to want to return to its
unfolded position. What we have learned at
Folded Homes
®
is that it is really
helpful to “prefold” all parts along all of their crease lines before trying to fold
them into their final three-dimensional shape. Prefolding means to fold the sheet
over a full 180 degrees back onto its self even if the final fold will only be
something like 90 degrees. Run your hand along the fully folded crease before
opening it back up and moving on to folding along the next crease.
Prefolding makes it much easier to do origami architecture! [See FH: ORIGAMI

TERRAIN PREPARATION (FH YURTS)
You need to clear a circular area of ground 11’ 6 “ (3.5 m) in diameter to set up a
TekYurt or UtiYurt and 11’ (3.35m) for a LiteYurt . The areas should be
relatively planar, although it does not need to be completely flat. [See SC: AREA
& VOLUME – HOW BIG IS A FH YURT? ]
If there is loose dirt or sand, the FH Yurt can be fixed to the ground using
earthen berms. If there are large stones lying around, these can be used to hold
down the
FH Yurt . If neither of these materials are available you will need to
stake the FH Yurt to the ground some how. [See A: ANCHORING TO THE
GROUND (FH YURTS) ]

WIRING FOR ELECTRICITY (FH YURTS)
The 3” (7.62 cm) thick hollow walls and roof of a TekYurt or UtiYurt provide
considerable space for running electrical lines if necessary. Any wiring of a
LiteYurt must run on the surface of the wall or roof. Cut through the extruded
plastic panels with a sharp knife to run lines. However, because extruded plastic
is a relatively light material, any outlets or fixtures should be properly braced and
should not rely structurally on the extruded plastic panels.
