Actually, that is a very good point. I have installed the floating floors before in parts of my home and they generally require a 1/8" - 1/4" gap for expansion.

I am sitting here thinking about what one could do to install the flooring after the yurt has been raised. I wonder if you cut strips of thin cardboard and laid them around the inside of the wall, on the face of the supports (or lattice if no supports) and make a giant temporary mould around the wall of the yurt (on the inside). The thickness of the cardboard would be in direct measurement to the expansion gap required by the floating floor manufacturer. After that, you could go ahead and lay the floor and once completed, remove the cardboard and put into place a flexible floor moulding and tack it to the supports, or lattice, or even toe nailed to the floor.
