Hoping to Build from Coppiced Greenwood

[Bob Rowlands]

I'd leave the rafter poles long and cut them to length later after you have your ring fabricated and propped up in place. To keep your costs down you are gonna have to do ALOT of work yourself. As far as pricing that's all in your haggling chops and being faire to both parties.


One thing is for certain. Yurts ABSOLUTELY have been built with less than perfect materials. The structural design is redundant. Try to get your laths holes as uniform as possible.

Obviously you are very smart so that isn't an issue. I assure you you can do this-and affordably- if you apply yourself. You aren't building a rocket or a piano. It's a yurt and yurts are very adaptable to building materials and procedure. Good luck.
