halowall from north
The whole thing looks a bit flimsy but is quite resilient once it's all put together. We never got high winds this Burning Man, but I'm confident we could have weathered them.
You may notice that the top edge is vertical, not horizontal. This was weak, by design, so it would look like you couldn't climb up there. Burners will pretty much climb anything they can, and we didn't want that for this piece.
That rebar is three feet into the ground, by the way. We needed Reed/HuggyBear's help to even extract it. Pulling rebar is approximately my least favorite thing in the world.
There is a bucket of soapy water for cleaning and a container holding a deep cycle battery there. I brought a fancy CFL light but the bulb broke in transit (and UPS lost my dusk-to-dawn circuit, THANKS A LOT.)
We never did light the damn thing properly at night. Although Ardent offered the use of generators and a work light, Friday and Saturday evenings were a near whiteout anyway.
