Building a 40' yurt in the uk

[OOTW]

Hi all,

I work as a designer and furniture maker in the UK.

For a client I am looking into redesigning and engineering a 40' yurt to be used as a permanent wedding venue around Bristol/Bath area. Along with a smaller 30' and 20' version.

I am looking to make this into a modern version, and more of a permanent structure by creating stronger ribs, instead of relying on the trellis to take the weight, allowing any side to be left open, allowing the space to be more flexible for its intended use.

I would have any design signed off by a structural engineer, but wondering if anyone has any advice for designing such a large structure.

Many thanks

Louis
