This has me intrigued. Has anyone seen (or done) this at Roo before? I wonder if it would be hot inside since the walls can't be removed. I wouldn't mind using something like this as my sleep shelter. I just don't know about getting the rebar in the ground though.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Thanks Bunny for those pictures. Those hammocks look nice! nc, thanks for noticing my Google SketchUp8 skills. You should see my monolithic dome homes. Thanks for the info Dani. MikeD had explained the set up(cars on the outside, tents, then tarps in the middle) to me like that. I did not know if they parked us like in GA or like the diagram above. I have seen a lot of awesome pictures, FB and on here. I saw that one that I posted and that lot looked small. Too small for a truck to fit in. Thanks for clearing that up. This is where my brain is at.
This is my normal setup. This is a Quonset hut, aka The Monkey Hut. It is made of PVC pipe, and a tarp. I put this over the back of my truck and put my tent behind the truck and have some room for chairs and such past the tent. It is ~7' tall,~10 wide, and 30' long
This is the PVC skeleton that is the "backbone" to the Monkey Hut. The structure can be 15' long, 20' long, 25' long or 30' long, depending on needs and tarp size.
Yes it comes with furniture. which is made out of sheets of plywood. Well, I guess most furniture is made out of sheets of plywood, but this furniture is fold-da-ble. Uses no screws or nails, fits together like a puzzle and breaks down flat, like a sheet of plywood. That is a couch with a mushroom on it, the pink one is a Love seat, and the other two are chairs.
I'm thinking move some tents down this way, move an easy-up over that way, use a large tarp(the one in this pic is gray and translucent and 30'x20'), put the Monkey Hut there and we can make room for a Dance Floor! How we gonna be Tarpi' Alive with no dance floor? ;D

Looks pretty rad, my only concern is that I think that much tarp on all sides wouldn't allow for much of a breeze. With the dust storms on the Playa I assume this is a good thing. In the crazy humid TN heat I'm not so sure. Any thoughts? Canvas or another breathable material might be good, but I also suspect at a much higher cost.
At that point, I'd just want to save up for one of these.... !
*edit* I have a feeling if I owned one, I'd be camping out in my back yard on a regular basis! I'd feel like a kid in a couch/sheet fort. I LOVED THOSE!
The monkey hut ! I love this design. It is NOT my design, I copied it from love monkey, but I use it on the playa and at Sosmp all the time . I have used it at Roo, but you guys are correct, there is no side to side breeze, so it can get hot. Would I use it at Roo again ? Probably not and if I did I would use a smaller tarp. One which dif not cover the sides with the way.
