hi new here so just saying hi. i have been building my yurt in stages for a while. i don't yet have the roof covering sorted. for now i am just using translucent heavy duty tarps till i sort something better out. my idea for something better is this.
sections of GRP lined with with PIR foam. GRP is glass reinforced plastic and PIR is a closed cell foam
material widely used in the building trade as
. the reason i don't want to use canvas is mainly because this yurt will be up all the time, and i live on the coast where we get regular 60 mph storms in the winter. canvas will wear out quite quickly in these conditions i have noticed.
anyone got any thoughts on this. the yurt an extension to my school bus so i am using it as as extra space for now. i will live in it in the summer but probably not so much in the winter. it is 16 foot diameter with 5 foot high walls. i am over 6 foot tall so went for higher than standard walls.
i know others have done similar designs, such as the hexayurt, but i wanted to keep the traditional frame for ascetic reasons. it stands on pallets with 25mm celotex with high density chipboard flooring on top of that.
GRP roof?
