Restoring a yurt out of storage

[austinP]

We bought a 20-ft yurt from PY in 2006. Due to changes in our life, we had to dismantle it and store it in 2009. We have also moved three times since. Currently, the yurt is disassembled in a shed on our new property. We are thinking about erecting it on our land or donating it. Either way, we will need to repair some damage, and therefore I am asking advice.

1) When dismantling the yurt, the

center ring

cracked. Two of the holes for inserting rafter are broken and two are weakened. Can this be repaired, or would it be structurally unsound, and it needs to be replaced with a new ring?

2) When in storage, something chewed a hole in the roof fabric. One hole, a few inches in diameter. I was reading the thread about holes, and have fabric I could use to patch the hole, but am unclear regarding the procedure or what the recommended "H-66" stuff is.

Any advice is appreciated!
