    If you want to try something adventurous, then you could laminate one with veneer. This is how I make them. They are only 3/4" thick for the small yurts I make so you should beef them up a bit. ...

    I would suggest a liner to hide the reflectix insulation. I would feel like a baked potato in your yurt lol, although I imagine you need less lighting..
