Building yurt off grid

[Robyn]

Hi I just joined, I’m planning on buying a cover from Mongolia on eBay and building a frame to fit it.

I live off grid now I have solar power for battery tools and a generator but ideally want to use it as little as possible. I can get 38mm by 12mm 3m pine from a local timber place for cheap so was going to just use that size for the wall slats and cut them to length or get them to do it rather than get a table saw and cut down bigger timber to make the slats.

I’m not sure of how to steam bend it off grid obviously the easiest way would be to just run something off the generator but has anyone done it using a fire?

Any advice welcome if I’m completely on the wrong track please let me know!
