RE: Surthrival Trailer Mark 1 Update #33 Creating a Hexayurt Aircrete Form
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.
