Anyone purchase a Smiling Woods Yurt?

Dang.. that is ULTRA NICE! I've been here since 2013. Your yurt is easily, 'on the medal platform.' WELL DONE!

Thought you guys would get a kick out of my cupola platform....had to find a way to get up there easily...with a little ladder from the loft, I can pop up and open/close the windows

Your cupola platform is a very interesting solution.

I hope, you will share more information about.

At first, I would know about your intention to build such a platform.

And I would like to read the measurements of your whole Yurt. Including the height of the sidewalls, and

dome

height/diameter.

At last some pics more from inside & outside would be nice too.....

EDIT:

I try to set the pic from the posting above in a better viewable rotation:

Merry Christmas Yurt People!!!

Sure, my yurt is 36' in diameter Smiling Woods Yurt. The walls are 10' high. From the floor to the base of the compression ring is somewhere around 18'.

The whole

dome

skylight was a big ordeal where it eventually started leaking. And my solution to the problem was to remove the skylight and replace it with a cupola. Which, has normal vertical windows that open/close for ventilation. But in order to open and close them, I wanted to be able to have easy access to the cupola. So, I had a welding friend manufacture that platform. The platform itself is roughly 4' in diameter and hangs about 32" down from the base of the compression ring (Just enough room for you to climb up there with a ladder from the loft and stand up without knocking your head on the cupola).

That's it in a nutshell! Leaky skylight solution!

Will try to post some more pics!

I think that is a pretty awesome solution and frankly, other yurt manufacturers should consider designing such an add-on. I would probably put one on my yurt!

A little, impressive fortress, @Yurtgurl!
