Well, making the top assembly separately also came to my mind, but it would be a problem to get it there. Would have to drag it over the outer side of the roof likely.
Since I want to have the roof part made of a PVC coated fabric, it won't allow to cinch around the hole. I could have a special collar sewn into the hole that would be made of thinner, softer (still waterproof) fabric and would be loose enough to allow the cinching? I guess that might work.
Another method would be having sort of fabric "skirt" around the ring, that would be placed over the roof cover edge.
There are other means to do this, but come on - I see pics of many yurts here that seem to have a permanently attached transparent
over the ring. They must have the same problem as I, they must make some sort of overlap on the roof cover's hole to keep the rain out. So how do you guys deal with it? There are thousands of views on this thread, some of you must know the answer. Don't you let Bob to have all the fun
Today's progress: some imperfections on the ring filled and will be sanded tomorrow. Several roof rafters cut to fit the slots.
placed on the khana. Baganas are getting a coat of paint.
