Re: Rainwater Harvesting for Yurts
Hey someshds, nice to see another member from our side of the Atlantic here.
I'm with Bob on the matter of keeping the yurt and its parts circular. As for the rainwater, I'm not sure what to advice, other than building the yurt on a raised deck, with the wall cover draping over the deck edge. That would allow to catch the rainwater as it runs down the wall. If you had some sort of gutter around the deck, right under the edge, it might work...then what...maybe let the water collect somewhere under the middle of the deck (such as a large water tank) and pump it from there?
I'm not sure if it's really worth the work, unless your area has poor water source.
If you needed to make some sort of special gutter hooks or other non-standard supplies, my forge is ready....
