What yurt is right for me?

[fowlboss]

Hello there!

I've been saving up and planning to buy my own residence within about 3 years, originally looking at small houses and whatnot since I've always loved them. I recently came across yurts (I don't know how I have never heard of them before) and I fell in love something terrible. I definitely want to purchase a yurt as my permanent residence. Since I live alone, I'm aiming for something that's about 400-500 square feet. I'm going to be living in Houston, TX or in the surrounding area in the future.

However, my question is this: how do I find out what kind is best for me- fabric yurt or a panel yurt? Which would be better in the long run when it comes to stability?

Fabric yurts seem fairly inexpensive when it comes to maintenance or needing replacements compared to panel yurts, or is getting a panel yurt better in the end? I've been eyeing those Solargon Structures homes, but if a fabric yurt can be just as dependable and strong as a panel one, is it worth it dropping the extra cash other than for cosmetic purposes?

I'd love to hear personal experiences and advice anyone would have. I'm very much new to yurts and am still learning about them, so give me all those infos! Thank you!
