building a yurt for the winter...

[njtool]

Hello all.
I thought I would give an update. Cutting the lath then putting them in a bending jig while still wet worked great. They didn't take long to dry because they are so small. I have about 100 full length lath pieces with tons of shorter ones.

I'm starting to plan for the platform and I have a question. What's the best way to attach the walls to the base? I though the walls go on the outside of the base then a cable keeps it tight to the base. However, I've seen pics of people using angle iron and screws into the floor, which wouldn't look too good.
My base will probable be about 8" tall so I was thinking about putting a strip of wood an inch or two around the base so the lath can sit higher on the base.
Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks,
