All year Yurt classroom in the UK - viable? Woodstove required?

[oneworld]

Hi All,

I've been asked to research yurt classroom options for a primary school in the south of England, UK and would be very grateful for the forum's input.

- They ideally want the yurt to be used all year round, but they are wary of
installing a woodstove due to concerns for the children's safety. In the absence of a woodstove, what are their best options for drying out the yurt after rainfall? Besides ventilation / drying, how much and what kind of regular maintenance / cleaning to the yurt would be required?

- The earmarked plot is the former site of a raised, outdoor swimming pool, and the existing ground surface is level concrete. Would a platform be recommended and if so, why and what kind?

- If they were to go for a year round yurt, would this involve removing and re-installing

insulation

layers on a seasonal basis?

- I wonder if, owing to the amount of maintenance that is likely required whether they might better be served by a wooden cabin rather than a yurt if their budget allows it...

- Are there any other issues they ought to consider?

Many thanks in advance,
