    I decided against steam bending the lumber for the ring because it was going to take a looong time to steam each piece. Easier to laminate ply.

    I'm building a 30ft (9.15m) yurt for use as a workshop. This will be the third yurt I've built, and I'm kind of just winging it on this one, no plans... just taking what worked on the previous yurts,...

    I agree. I live full time in my 6m yurt and I'm glad I didn't build anything bigger. I am building a 30 foot one, but that's for a workshop.

    I'd advise you to get a brazier, and a huge stack of dollar bills, and burn the money to heat your yurt. You'd better be rich, 'cos heating an outdoor room 24/7/365 is going to cost a fortune no...

    To be honest, you'd be crazy to build a yurt for two elderly farm animals. Building a yurt takes a lot of work, at least five or six or ten times longer than a simple shelter made of roofing iron...
