Hi Dan,
I now realise we had a chat about similar ideas 4 years ago here...
UK Cabinz Project exploring making Hexayurt from composite door off cuts + dry lining steel & grp upvc frame / kingspan metal sandwich panels
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/hexayurt/JrehbfU--MY
The manufacturers we have spoken to have factories in the US, We can speak to them. They offered us a large discount for homeless / diaster shelters
We can ship fixings abroad, but to make the shipping viable, folks would need to team up, so we could send a 1/8 - 1/4 - 1/2 tonne crate that could be distributed / sold to other groups .
We get good quality fixings in split boxes and sort them out with volunteers, so get them for a fraction of the cost of new. often from www.TIMco.co.uk or www.wickes.co.uk
Last year i founded the Shelter & Hardware Bank Network (SAHBN) & donated at cost 3.2 tonnes of fixings to 5 of the Community Wood Recycling Network members in Uk. This was partly to encourage similar shelter building with wood
On a related note we spoke to members of www.Preciousplastic.com about fixing supply & extrusion w/shop We were interested in producing an extruded angled I Beam that normal foil backed PIR sheets (or sandwich) could be interted into for Hexayurt joints
I've not done 3d Cad on Concrete foundation work, but played around with the following as mentioned before 4 yrs ago
Slotted Fence Posts for Shelter Ground Resting Foundations & Strength Test. Slotted Crank Bent Arm Post Idea For Hexayurt
