building a yurt for the winter...

[njtool]

I've been working on the deck and platform and I'm making progress. I will post pics this week.

I have a question about the lath. I haven't decided on what to use to hold them together. I was thinking bent nails but I'm worried about how they will look. Also, should I connect the lath through every hole? I've read that most of the time certain holes are skipped.

What's the best way to attach the lath together?

Hello njtool,

If you look at this pic you can see how I build in the platform straps to the lattice when assembling it. We make them out of 18 gauge galvanized steel.

As you see in this pic it screws into the platform of the yurt.

Watch out however because there is still a relatively sharp metal bracket here that would touch the fabric. That is why after this pic was taken another bent piece (exactly as Jafo described) goes around on the outside of the brackets.

-Cheers
