Yurt: 2X6 Tongue and Groove Flooring

[Jafo]

You can see by the images of my finished yurt, that I went with pine flooring. To be specific, I went with 2X6 tongue and groove, which basically looks like this:



I actually used the other side of the the board since this side has a bevel by the tongue edge. The other side is completely flat when joined with another piece.

Since my yurt is in a very remote location, where you are bound to track in mud, dirt, etc., and is being used as a camp, I thought it would be better to use this than a hardwood alternative. I have to say that so far I am pretty happy with it. It was relatively cheap and easy to install. At some point I am going to try and finish it a bit nicer, once I am done moving stuff in and modifying the place. I basically just need to rent a floor sander and do one half at a time.
