Yurt Security

[Slated79]

Hi all! I am new to the forum and so happy that I came across it! I have been interested in alternative living accommodation for some time. I find the whole concept extremely compelling. Tiny houses, container homes, living off grid etc... But I have only just recently become aware of Yurts as a viable housing option. I've been reading a number of posts on here since registering and understand that the a Yurt would be fine for the climate here in Ireland. I own a small plot of land so I have on which to build if I so wish, planning permission pending. (I'd have to research the law regarding Yurts. Would they be technically classed as a tent?) My only concern would be security. How secure are Yurts against thieves? My initial instinct would be to say not very. But I have no experience of them whatsoever, which is why I thought I would ask the question here,of those with first hand experience. I'm guessing that the majority of the forum members here are based in North America. But if there are any members based in Ireland or the UK, I'd love to pick your brains on the practicalities (or lack there of) of Yurt living in this part of the world.
