Yurt With Pod Attached In Windy Rainy Yorkshire

[Jonesy]

Hi everyone,

I’ve just bought a few second hand yurts. One of them has a pod attached - basically a 3m yurt attached to the main, 5m yurt via a wooden door frame. The camvas’ for the main room and smaller room are separate and sort of overlap. The previous owner said that rain didn’t come in where it meets, but that was in Portugal during the summer months mainly. I’m going to be living in it in the Yorkshire hills, where it gets very wet and windy. There is a bit of protection from the wind, but one side is totally exposed. I wondered if anyone here with any experience, or any structural knowledge, could offer their thoughts on whether they think this is viable. A circular yurt allows the wind to move round it, but with the extra pod there will be a trap for the wind and I’m concerned it will just take off!

Thanks in advance!
Ben
