    Wintergreen282 liked post by HawaiiYurts On thread : 50' yurt. Is it a good idea? What Would it Cost to DIY?

    This is very easy. Get the new benderboard that Colorado Yurt offers. It is a composite, nice high quality. Then remove the wall connections only at the door slats and the bottom grommets. That...

    No, actually, a yurt is not a tent. Tents can not withstand 80+ mph winds. A tent has framework but not an infrastructure that meets residential codes, which yurt frames do. A yurt is simply...
