Re: New member's yurt plan
We have just moved into our 32’ yurt. The platform is constructed on a 48’ x 44’ deck. Due to the topography of the property, our contractors built a utility room underneath the yurt. It is insulated & heated. It contains a grey water holding tank, a fresh water holding tank, on demand propane hot water & venting. The bathroom vent goes through the floor to this room, and the vent for the Nature’s Head composting toilet also goes through the floor to the same area. The platform is insulated with spray foam. We decided that the fewer holes hat were cut in the walls, the better. The weather in winter here can often get to -40C, so we needed a system that would not freeze. The yurt is totally off-grid, so everything needs to be efficient.
