Building my first yurt

[ljamies1]

ryankal, your platform looks great so far! I was just picking up a bunch on used pallets and had the idea to connect them and build some kind of frame around the outside of them to make the platform but now im seeing your pic and am likin' it!

As far as a stove goes for a 12ft. yurt....



....where are you located again? I have a box stove rated to 900 sq ft. which works quite will in mine (no

insulation

beyone reflextix) but a major downside is the of the 900 sq. ft stove is 32. once you space it out another 32 in. min. from the wall fabric the end of the stove sits nearly in the middle of the yurts/ taking up a huge amt. space. Wish I had known this before hand...and you are correct once you cut your hole you are comitted. Im honestly considering putting a vented propane heater in it for next winter/ it would sit right flush with the wall and I would reclaim some much needed sq. ft.

...I am also router-less. Bought a case of beer and over a weekend sanded all the khana edges with an orbital sander = you should find a friend with a router and buy them the case of beer
