Converting to hard walls.

[Bob Rowlands]

If I lived in my yurt year around I'd leave it as a soft sided tent insulated with felt. Woodstove heat. Mongolian style. Partition the interior of 24' or greater as necessary.

As a retired pro residential carpenter I can tell you wood sheathing or siding of a curved wall and conic roof is gonna be a real trip. Lots of waste of material. Working with material that just does not 'want' to bend, and patience testing non stop fitty fitty fitty fitty work. Like building a wood sailboat, slow and tedious to the max. I just do not have the patience for dealing with that.

Myself, if I wanted hard siding and roof I'd just build a small conventional stick framed building, with a sleeping loft. Fast easy and relatively affordable. Standard

insulation

. EASY. Doable by non pro carpenters. Work in all respects is a snap, in comparison to non stop curves of a yurt. JMO. YMMV.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and all reading this thread!
