Bundle includes:
- 2 Rolls of Bi-Directional Filament Tape (60 yards/each) 
- 2 Rolls of Aluminum Foil Tape (50 yards/each)
Product Description:
The Kit contains all the tape required to build a cost-effective and weather-resistant Hexayurt for Burning Man Festival 2025!
Combined, the products will be able to withstand heat, moisture, vapor, UV degradation, odors, dust, dirt, rain, winds, some chemicals, as well as smoke transmission.
Tutorial, tips & tricks:
To keep their yurts cool, many "Burners" use aluminum foil tape on the outer surface of their yurts to reflect the sunlight away from the interior!
A strong bond between the shelter and the tape can be made by using filament tape and aluminum tape, which are durable at both low and high temperatures in deserts.
As a result of its conformable backing and pressure-sensitive adhesive, the Aluminum Foil Tape can be used on both smooth or irregular surfaces, including tents.

Uses for Aluminum Foil Tape at Burning Man
Aluminum foil tape is known for its heat resistance, weather durability, and sealing capability, which makes it ideal for:
-
Hexayurt construction
– Seals joints between insulation panels (like R-Max or Polyiso board).
– Reflective surface helps with radiant heat deflection.
-
Dust & wind sealing
– Keeps out Playa dust from tents, yurts, or RVs by sealing cracks and gaps.
– Maintains air-tightness in harsh windstorms.
-
Temporary repairs
– Quick fix for damaged reflective materials, solar ovens, HVAC hoses, or even ducting in art installations.
– Patches small tears or holes in metal surfaces or structures.
-
Heat deflection
– Wraps cables, containers, or electronics to reflect solar heat and reduce overheating.
– Shields sensitive areas from intense UV and radiant heat.
-
Marking and signage
– Its shiny, reflective surface is visible in low light. Great for marking hazards or pathways.
💪 Uses for Filament Tape at Burning Man
Filament tape (reinforced with fiberglass strands) is extremely strong and resistant to tearing, making it perfect for high-tension and heavy-duty tasks:
-
Structural reinforcement
– Secures insulation panels in hexayurt builds before foil tape is applied.
– Binds poles or tarps to frames in tents or shade structures.
-
Strapping & bundling
– Tightly bundles items like rebar, PVC poles, bikes, or camping gear during transport or storage.
– Can hold awkward or heavy loads together on playa-bound trailers.
-
Windproofing
– Prevents separation or movement of tarps, tents, and sunshades during heavy gusts.
– Used for lashing together tarps, banners, or signs.
-
Repair and reinforcement
– Adds tensile strength to broken tent poles or snapped connectors.
– Reinforces seams or high-stress areas in DIY art installations.
🛠️ Bonus Tip
Many "Burners" (Burning Man Festival attendees) use both tapes together—filament tape for strength and structure, then aluminum foil tape for sealing and heat reflection—especially in hexayurt builds or any desert-proofed shelter.
