Re: Different options for khana (small yurts)
I've built 12', 14', and 16' yurts. I ripped the wall lath from clear pine 2x4 studs, 8' long. Walls laths were 5/16ths" x 1.5" clear pine, 90" long, with lath crosses 12" center to center, holes 3" in from top and bottom of lath. 84" equals 8 lath crosses. Wall was about 64" tall.
I had a max snow load up there on the 16'er of like 1.5' with no issue at all. 36 1x3 rafters, plywood ring, 32" in diameter, 22" smoke hole. That yielded a 5" wide ring of .75" plywood, top and bottom. 2 rafters over door, the rest on the lath crosses. So that said, there is so much redundancy in laths that weight bearing is no issue at all, in my experience.
