30ft workshop yurt build (9 meters)
I'm building a 30ft (9.15m) yurt for use as a workshop. This will be the third yurt I've built, and I'm kind of just winging it on this one, no plans... just taking what worked on the previous yurts, and using general tried and trusted yurt design elements.
I'll post photos as I go.
Today the timber got delivered! It's Pinus Radiata, a relatively soft pine species widely used for framing buildings here in New Zealand.
This time I'm using 1"x4" (20mm by 100mm) for both the khana lattice and the roof rafters. It may be a strange design choice but the timber was cheap at NZ$1.25/linear meter. I think it'll work!
Plus it's CCA treated H3.2 wood, so it will last for decades and decades.
Please feel free to offer criticism, or advice, or ask questions as I build and post my progress here.
Don't expect quick progress however! I'm also studying full-time so this is a weekend project.
