    Wintergreen282 liked post by HawaiiYurts On thread : 50' yurt. Is it a good idea? What Would it Cost to DIY?
    Sizes over 30' diameter start having engineering challenges. I would be concerned if no engineering is involved and even more so if there are no internal supports on those larger sizes.

    New size is SMALL! WAAAAY small, but will be good for two with a stove in the middle. Less weight, less parts, less cordage, faster setup, smaller 'footprint'. Easier to heat when it is really cold....

    Gonna build a 10x12 greenhouse on the yurt platform. The 16' yurt was just too big to heat without insulation, and too much for camping. It's a whole lot easier to find a flat spot for 12' vs 16'...

    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...

    Agree with Jafo about step ladder. I've also used extension ladder on the outside of my 16' yurt to get up to the ring. I simply layed it parallel with the roof, set my step ladder adjacent to the...

    I have done this on the outside, but on the inside I use the step ladder. I have a rather sturdy dinning room table that I can put it on to reach the center too. :)

    Yurts AREN'T houses. Folks need to understand that if they are leaving an apt., condo, or house for a yurt. A yurt is a tent- a real good tent, the best imo- but it's a fact they aren't houses. They...
