    Thank you Jafo, Karin, FrankieM02, wintergreen282, Bob rowlands, and Eric Metzler. I see from the comments so far that it is an enormous undertaking and probably very complex. Perhaps several linked...

    Thanks for the tips Wintergreen282 and kudos for you living in a yurt for 7 years. I had screen doors made for my front door so when that's open they are inside and I have flywire on them. Lovely....

    Wintergreen282 liked post by HawaiiYurts On thread : Keeping warm in a harsh, snowy winter
    The Nasa developed insulation isn't ideal for R-value (meaning keeping the heat in long-term). It's great at reflecting heat, but without a heat source, it will quickly cool down. In the Alpine...

    This is our first Winter with our yurt living in it full time. Our yurt is attached to our house via a mudroom. We had our carpenter divide our 800 square foot yurt into 4 rooms, a playroom and three...

    I live in a small 12-ft yurt in Austin where humidity can be a problem, especially in the summer. Other people with more cold weather experience should chime in. There are several things that help....

    Here's a bombproof repair. Pro raft companies use this stuff on their rafts. I've used many tubes of the stuff over the years and it is STRONG adhesive. Get a couple tubes of 'Aquaseal' urethane...

    Wintergreen282 liked post by Bob Rowlands On thread : Cost for platform (and deck)?
    Once again, I have to say, regardless of how great they are, keep in mind a yurt is a tent, not a house. Not even kinda slightly close to a house. A solid wall 'yurt' with panelized framed walls,...

    If the site is flat enough, I'd go with a concrete pad. Fast to build, affordable, bombproof, no upkeep. If you have electric and plumbing, you need to get that based first. If you gaet burned out on...

    Dead on right. I've been designing and building yurts since the summer of 2000. Here's why 30' Yurts are the normal "Biggest": It's all about the rafters. 16' long rafters, are used,...
