    Jafo liked post by Colorado Yurt Company On thread : Yurt from scratch or buy a kit?
    One thing to consider when making your decision: a yurt kit from a reputable manufacturer is often an engineered structure. It will have snow and wind loads certified. If you're living in it, that...

    To be perfectly clear, the yama kaminari design is a simple to build, easily erected and dismantled camping yurt. It isn't at all designed to be used as a primary residence. The yurts from the...

    We put one of these together last month, sort of as a way to tide us over until we get to work on our "real" yurt. It was really fun! Plus, if we get really yurt-crazy, we could make little...

    I'd suggest reading the codes--they'll tell you a lot. Depending on where you are (the county/town sets the particular codes), there's different ways to deal with issues. Like Steve said, calling the...

    Foam is a fantastic insulation. That is why it is used in refrigerators, freezers, coolers, hot tubs and so on. Residences that feature foam walls hold the heat better than typical batt insulation. A...

    Good advice as usual. I'll add that I have seen yurts built atop a tarp larger than the footprint of the yurt. Once the yurt is erected atop the tarp, the edge of the tarp is folded up on the...
