Question about cover material.

[Alchamar]

A couple of billboard skins cost about $250-$400 (depending on where ya find 'em). Sunforger canvas- about $500 give or take. White plastic tarp'll run ya under $200.

Thanks, looks like I've got my used top cover priced reasonably at $450.

Be sure to take extremely careful measurements of everything first (roof pitch,

dome

opening diameter, fastening system, etc.) before trying to interchange/adapt home built stuff with commercially produced yurt parts. These things are definitely not one size fits all.

just FYI

I know, old post, but you bring up good ideas!

I was looking into a swimmimg pool liner! They are all over the free section of Craigslist every fall. And they're easy to repair if they rip. I believe theyre UV resistant. Take the solar cover and put it underneath for padding/insulation.

I'm going to go pick up a free one (20×35×4) tomorrow. I think I can cut it out and glue it how I want it. Underneath Im hoping to use bubble wrap and space blankets for

insulation

, or that double bubble foil

insulation

for around duct work.
