This is way late, but it seems like the other posters weren't really answering your actual question and others may wonder the same thing. The short answer is that you can absolutely make a turtledog...
This is a 1/4 scale model of a standard 4 strut tensegrity prism. Its coolness is that you only need 4 poles for 4 people. If you do in the proportions shown here, it's totally freestanding. The...

For the...
Pretty Cool! I'd assumed you have to have cords running around all 4 sides of the X side. But if you lash the two poles together strongly so they can't slide, then you almost certainly don't need...

And Latherdome, I hope someday Tensaoutdoor.com can...
I like the XX design, but the below may improve it in some ways. Before I finally found this thread, I'd independently done a variant of the tensahedron that uses just one X on one side, retaining...
