RE: Surthrival Trailer Mark 1 Update #33 Creating a Hexayurt Aircrete Form
It looks like you are going to make two separate panels, one rectangle and one triangle. Do you use the rectangular ones for walls and the triangular ones for the roof? How to you attach them together?
Correct, aircrete can be drilled into. I will create 6 of these sections and assemble them. I will probably use deck screws and duct tape. I believe this is possible and am going to experiment building a yurt shelter this way.

What about rebar, remesh, or some other reinforcement? Steel reinforcement is great until it starts to corrode. In a thin section that would probably be right away. I've thought about using something like fiberglass window screen. That stuff is very strong for its weight. If you could get a fiberglass mesh that was coarse like hardware cloth that would be perfect.
This is the stuff - heavy duty fiberglass stucco mesh.
